About Us: LifeCare LeadHership


Our Mission:
Empowering Women to Lead with Confidence in Life, Work, and Care

At LifeCare LeadHership, we believe that caregiving is not just a responsibility—it’s an opportunity for leadership, growth, and transformation. Our mission is to help working women who are caregivers for loved ones, especially those facing dementia, navigate the complex journey of care with confidence, resilience, and purpose. We equip women to not only care for others but to lead their lives and careers with heart and intention.


Physician, Caregiver Advocate, Author & Coach

Dr. Anna Thomas, MD

I’m Dr. Anna Thomas, a physician and caregiver coach, with a deep commitment to helping women who balance the demanding roles of caregiving, career, and family. Through my work at LifeCare LeadHership, I empower women to transform their caregiving experience into an opportunity for personal growth, leadership, and self-care.


As a doctor, I’ve seen the profound toll caregiving takes on women, especially those caring for loved ones with dementia. The reality is that dementia diagnoses are expected to double in the next 20 years, meaning more women will find themselves balancing work, caregiving, and family— all at once . This is a load no one should have to carry alone , yet for many women, that’s exactly what it feels like.

Every day, I witness how much women give of themselves to care for others. This commitment is inspiring, but it also comes with a heavy cost. The impact is clear, both emotionally and physically. As a caregiver coach, my mission is to help women not just survive this journey, but thrive in it—leading with confidence, building strong support systems, and maintaining their own well-being along the way.

Why this is Important

The number so tell a powerful story.

Right now, 66% of caregivers are women, who often end up putting in nearly 50% more time than men. For many of these women, caregiving means covering extra costs, too, with more than 20% providing financial support to aging parents or loved ones. This takes a toll.

Many women reduce their work hours, take unpaid leave, or even leave their jobs to keep up with caregiving responsibilities. The “average” caregiver today is a 49-year-old woman, spending at least 20 hours a week in unpaid care. With this kind of commitment, it’s no surprise that 1 in 4 women caregivers report serious health issues, often dealing with chronic stress, exhaustion, or anxiety. Financially, too, women face setbacks, ending up with retirement funds that fall an average of $40,000 short due to lost work time. This is why it’s time for real change. It’s my mission to make this journey a little easier, and to ensure that women caregivers feel supported and confident in all they do.
