This Summer, I took parental leave, not for a child but for an ageing parent.

I’m self-employed, so I approved it.

But imagine if your company or our industry acknowledged that we need a CARE break to raise, grieve, reset, or work out a new chapter beyond the traditional (though changing) peaks and valleys of life.

Until that day comes, I’ll remain kind to my main employee, myself.

A nudge to BOTH self-employed & employed build a F%*ck off fund for those moments.

Aside from childcare, what CARE should we enable & nudge time off for?
