About JPR
Career Continuity for the Professional Behind the Caregiver Role
JPR was created from a simple observation: Most caregiver support focuses on the care side of the equation.
Very little focuses on helping the caregiver maintain the careers they have worked years to build.
Adult caregiving and eldercare can affect more than life outside of work. For many employees, it influences decisions, priorities, capacity, visibility, professional contribution, and future opportunities. Yet few workplace solutions address the career impact of caregiving.
JPR exists to help close that gap.
Through practical frameworks, tools, education, community, and coaching, JPR helps employees navigate adult caregiving and eldercare without losing footing in their professional lives.
Why Career Continuity?
Most people don't stop caring about their careers when caregiving begins.
They still want to contribute, grow, lead, pursue opportunities, and build meaningful professional lives. Yet caregiving often arrives unexpectedly and without a roadmap for navigating its impact on work.
Career continuity is not about choosing career over caregiving.
It's about helping people remain connected to both.
At JPR, we believe employees shouldn't have to choose between supporting the people they love and protecting the careers they've worked years to build. Career continuity provides a framework for navigating both with greater balance, intention, structure, and support.
Our Philosophy
We believe caregiving is not solely a personal issue. It is a workforce reality impacting millions of employees across every industry, role, and stage of career.
We believe support should extend beyond helping employees care for a loved one. It should also acknowledge the impact caregiving can have on professional contribution, future opportunities, and long-term career growth.
We believe small, intentional actions can make a meaningful difference during periods of uncertainty.
And we believe people should not have to sacrifice their professional future in order to care for the people they love.
All of this led to the creation of JPR and the Career Continuity Workshop Series™.
Mission
To transform how organizations support employee-caregivers by providing practical frameworks, tools, education, community, and coaching that help employees maintain career continuity while strengthening workforce engagement, retention, and performance.
Vision
A world where adult caregiving and eldercare no longer threaten the careers, opportunities, and professional futures of the people providing that care.
Advisory Council
A JPR is supported by an Advisory Council composed of experienced leaders who bring expertise across corporate leadership, talent development, coaching, facilitation, workforce strategy, and lived caregiving experience.
The Council provides insight, perspective, and constructive challenge to help ensure JPR's programs remain practical, relevant, and responsive to the realities that employee-caregivers and organizations face every day.
Their guidance plays an important role in shaping the future of career continuity support in the workplace.
Founder's Story
In 2024, life handed me one of the hardest and most meaningful roles I've ever had.
𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿.
While the title was new, caring for the people I loved wasn't.
Over the course of ten years, I was side-by-side with my mom as my father battled cancer. I was also a supportive daughter-in-law during my in-laws' health battles and sat bedside for two weeks after my best friend suffered a traumatic brain injury.
They were all profoundly challenging in their own way, but it wasn't until my mom was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer in 2024 that I realized I had a new title beyond daughter.
This was a role I never wanted. She was supposed to live to 100 and pass peacefully in her sleep! We never want our loved ones to get sick and need us in that way, but it's the sad reality of life, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
While caring for my mom, I had support. No one can do it alone! I had an amazing spouse to lean on, siblings who were there to help, friends who had broad shoulders, and a huge medical team that did everything they could for her.
What I didn't have was support for what caregiving was doing to my career. Like many caregivers, I stopped thinking about my future and focused on getting through each day. My career silently moved to the back burner.
That lightbulb went off during lunch with a former EY colleague. She shared that EY had provided a coach for a full year after the birth of her first child. And I remember thinking:
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀?
Organizations recognize that becoming a parent is a major life transition worthy of support. But what about the employee caring for a parent or spouse with cancer? Or a loved one recovering from a stroke or a TBI?
That question, combined with the love, strength, and purpose my mother instilled in me, changed the direction of my own career.
JPR was created to help employees navigate adult caregiving and eldercare without losing sight of the careers they've worked years to build.
