The Caregiver Community
ONE with Range
ONE Coaching is partnering with Range for The Caregiver Community. They have worked alongside each other for years, connected by a shared belief in the power of coaching, leadership, and community. Their own caregiving journeys brought that connection into sharper focus. While their experiences have been different, they both know what it means to care deeply for someone while continuing to show up as a leader, partner, parent, professional, and friend. They created The Caregiver Community as the space they each wished they had—a place to step outside the caregiver role, reconnect with the whole person, and navigate caregiving alongside others who understand. Because caregivers deserve a community that cares for them, too.
Pegah & Amy's Caregiver Stories
Pegah's Connection: My caregiving journey began five days after my second child was born, when my father suffered multiple strokes during COVID. Over the next several years, I navigated doctors, hospitals, insurance, dementia, respite care, and ultimately end-of-life care while raising a family and continuing to build my nearly 20-year career in education and leadership development in Houston. My mother was his primary caregiver, while my brother and I shared the responsibility alongside our own full lives. I found caregiver support groups and dementia education courses, but I couldn't find a space focused on me - the mother, wife, daughter, sister, leader, and friend beyond my caregiver role. My own leadership coaches became that space for me, helping me reconnect with myself while carrying an enormous responsibility that so many others go through, yet our societal structures don't support. That experience inspired me to create a space in my executive coaching and leadership development business where other caregivers could do the same. The Caregiver Community is rooted in a simple belief: caregivers need care too and deserve to not feel alone in their very common, but less talked about, journeys.
Amy's Connection: Leadership requires range - the same person leading a team one day may be taking a call from a hospital room or making end-of-life decisions the next. I know this firsthand. Over two decades in public education, including as a school superintendent and leadership coach, I also served as power of attorney and caregiver for my late brother and a parent with dementia while raising a family and growing my career. Those experiences taught me that leadership and life are never separate, and that caregiving requires courage, communication, boundaries, and adaptability. My work alongside communities in Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Chicago also showed me the power of people caring for one another through difficult circumstances. Today, as a leadership coach and consultant with Range Associates, I coach leaders through the seasons that ask the most of them, helping them show up for their teams and their loved ones without losing themselves along the way. I also partner with organizations to modernize data capabilities, and improve the processes that drive outcomes. The Caregiver Community brings these experiences together to create the space I wish I had: a place where caregivers can step out of the caretaker role and be cared for too.
