Since 2015, when we started TendLab, we have been part of the movement to acknowledge, value, and support working caregivers.  We are proud of what we accomplished!  And we are grateful to the many individuals and organizations – like you! – carrying this work forward.

In particular, we want to give a shout out to the FamTech Collaborative, which Amy helped to found back in 2019.  This organization now boasts over 400 member companies and has become the hub for innovation across the care economy.

In recovering from burnout, Amy turned to her forever love: writing.  She wrote her first book of fiction (release date TBD) and launched a venture to help others develop and deepen their relationship to the craft of writing.  You can learn more about this work on her WritingOneTrueThing.com website.  And you can contact her at [email protected].

Kim has crafted for herself a veritable Patchwork Portfolio of services, stitching together her vast experience in HR with her creative spirit, and offering partnership to companies by way of advising/consulting, coaching, and content creation. She has also cofounded a rapidly-growing venture with two other HR Leaders: PeakHR is both a fractional HR partner and a cutting edge training program aiming to democratize access to excellent HR support for businesses and HR professionals. She is also expanding her writing practice (thanks in no small part to Amy!) and writes regularly about the intersection of caregiving and culture at I Care Too Much. And because her charmingly-enthusiastic ADHD makes her want to do all the things, she is also sitting on the boards of CareSprint and Reel Families for Change, working to build more community and care in the modern workforce.

We hope you’ll stay in touch!  We hope you’ll remember to invest in yourself!  And we hope you know, as all changemakers learn, that – even though the arc of positive transformation is long and the road often harrowing – sourcing your actions from a desire to contribute to the greater good will eventually lead you to the home where you belong. 

With Gratitude and Warmth,

Amy & Kim
