What an informative and relatable conversation I had this morning with Morgan Hudson today on Coming Clean About Caregiving! As an only child, stepping into the role of primary caregiver really does bring with it a unique set of emotional, logistical, and professional challenges and Morgan has been through it all.

After spending a decade climbing the corporate ladder—ultimately serving as VP of Global Brand and Travel Marketing at Visa—Morgan’s life started to shift dramatically when his father faced the increasing effects of Parkinson’s. It wasn't just his dad, either: His father's illness exacerbated an existing strain of depression in his mother's family that worsened as her caregiving duties increased. With both of them struggling, only child Morgan made the courageous decision to leave the corporate world behind to care for them full-time.

In our conversation, Morgan shares his journey and the powerful lessons from his book, The Only Problem: How to Care for Aging Parents as an Only Child. We discuss:

• The solo caregiving journey: Navigating the heavy emotional and physical weight of caregiving for his beloved parents without siblings to share the load.
• The professional pivot: Walking away from a high-powered corporate career to manage family health crises.
• Practical strategies: Actionable advice for solo caregivers balancing parental health, career transitions, and personal well-being.

Tune in for an honest, deeply relatable conversation about resilience, family dynamics, and finding your footing when everything changes. Purchase Morgan's book, The Only Problem: How to Care for Aging Parents as an Only Child, for a look into his journey and his advice for thriving along the way.
