Together In Care: Episode 4
We’re rounding out National Family Caregivers Month with an impactful episode of Together In Care.
In this episode, we talk to Kyle Woody, founder and executive director of Jack’s Caregiver Coalition, about why destigmatizing caregiving for men starts with improving the way guys think, feel and act through every phase of their caregiving journey. We talk about the inherent problem with the “hero fixes it alone” culture that many caregiving men have grown up in. We also discussed how the skills we practice to be successful in our careers are vastly different from what we practice as caregivers—even though they shouldn’t be.
If we’re being honest, most of us got a little misty-eyed listening to our guests share about their caregiving experiences. This conversation is such an important one to better understand the male caregivers in your life. Be sure to listen in!

When Kyle suddenly became a primary caregiver for his spouse with metastatic colon cancer, he realized many of the same principles of excellence, leadership and teamwork that he preached in his professional career also applied at home in his caregiver role. He believes every guy can rise to the challenge of caregiving, which is why he co-founded and became executive director of Jack’s Caregiver Coalition, an organization improving the way guys think, feel and act through every phase of their caregiving journey.
