Linda is the founder and President of Life Path Solutions, Inc. She works with families, singles and career professionals in all stages of life to plan for the unexpected. Linda speaks about the need for a safety net for life and how to plan for life's unexpected "gotcha's." The Baby Boomer generation tend to spend more time planning their next vacation than they do planning their lives. Linda believes that creating this safety net to be the biggest investment they will ever make for their own future security.
Therefore, Linda provides guidelines and options to help people prepare their own safety net. Her topics are high-content common sense wisdom mixed with a good deal of humor and real-life choices. Her approach to those not-so-pleasant and all to often avoided (but necessary), details, will help people understand what they need to think about to secure their families' and their own futures.
Her 12 year hands-on experience as a working caregiver to her Mother provides the passion for her talks on caregiving. Because the "sandwich generation" is at the caregiving decision point, Linda believes they need to take care of themselves in order to be able to care for others. When a caregiver needs care, there's a crisis, and she talks about how to avoid those crises before they happen.
Linda is a professional speaker, author, small business consultant, and serves as board administrator for the Arizona Assisted Living Homes Association.. Linda is a member of the Alliance for Holistic Aging, the National Association of Women Writers and the National Association of Women Baby Boomers. She lives in Chandler, Arizona with her two cats, Sam and Ginger.
