In this week’s episode of the UpLevel Podcast, we had the privilege of having an intimate conversation with international best-selling author and global business consultant Lynn Abaté-Johnson. Her book "Out of Love: A Daughter's Journey with Her Mom to the End," provides inspiration as she shares her journey as a caregiver for her mother.

Lynn’s story is proof that even in times of immense hardship, we can find strength within ourselves to inspire and uplift those around us by sharing our experiences honestly.

In this Episode:

• Caregiving Experience: Learn about Lynn’s transformative journey from being a business consultant to a full-time caregiver for her mother suffering from ovarian cancer.
• Writing as Therapy: Discover how journaling became a cathartic outlet for Lynn during challenging times and eventually led to the creation of her book.
• The Book: Explore the unique structure of Lynn’s book that combines factual reporting with a personal reflection on loss and caregiving experiences.
• Insights into Grief and Community Building: Understand how writing helped Lynn process grief while fostering global communities based on deep relationships.
• Writing Tips and Advice: Gain insights from Lynn's non-structured writing approach that emphasizes authenticity over comparison.
• Reflective Questions: Find out how inquiry questions help readers reflect on their own caregiving journeys.

About Lynn:
After being a primary caregiver for her mother for over six years, author Lynn Abaté-Johnson understands the typhoon of emotions and responsibilities that come with caring for a loved one. However, she discovered how to blossom through (and after) caregiving rather than let it drown her. Like most caregivers, Lynn juggled caregiving duties with a full-time career. In her daily life, she’s a business consultant and global community builder. 

She’s been building businesses from the ground up from a young age, with her first business being a network of family roller skating rinks in the Detroit, Michigan, metro area. She is currently growing the global community as “the voice” of the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), one of the world’s most respected leadership development and professional coach training organizations.

As part of her devotion to developing global communities that make a difference by connecting human beings, she speaks with cohorts of caregivers to help them discover they’re not alone, everything’s going to be okay, and there are tools they can use to ease the burdens they might feel as caregivers.

• Use Writing as Therapy: Try writing down traumatic experiences or challenges faced that could help identify significant events impacting one’s life.
• Share Stories Consciously: In case you share someone else’s narrative, always remember that seeking consent is important. Also, share stories more for healing and less for public recognition.

Gail believes that finding 'ease' even in challenging situations is the key to successful leadership. Her book "What Matters Now: Lessons On Living With Ease" explores this concept and redefines our understanding of adversity.

Gail Barker shares her insights on writing and creative expression to offer a fresh perspective and highlight the importance of understanding your unique working style instead of blindly following popular norms.

She believes that success isn't solely defined by bestseller status or mass approval. If you have the wisdom to share that can enlighten even one individual, that counts as a successful endeavor too!

In this Episode:

• Understand the difference between 'ease' and 'easy': Acknowledge that a path of ease doesn't mean life is always easy or without obstacles; it's about finding calm amidst difficulties.
• Establish a writing rhythm: By identifying the optimal writing time and environment to foster creativity and productivity.
• Redefine procrastination: Recognize that such activities can stimulate subconscious idea generation, instead of viewing them as distractions.
• Explore different methods for inspiration: Incorporate physical activity into your creative process or try handwriting instead of typing if you find it more effective.
• Silence your inner critics by expressing your unique voice: Remember they are just voices, not truths, and focus on how you want to sound on paper rather than imitating others.
• Manage outer criticism effectively: When seeking feedback, be clear about what kind of input you're looking for so reviewers know their boundaries—this way their input will be more beneficial.
• Honor your own voice amid a multitude of voices: Share whatever message calls out from within you - even if your audience is small because everyone has something valuable worth sharing with the world.
• Pay attention when certain themes repeatedly surface in your thoughts, indicating their significance and need for shared expression; this could indicate an important message that needs to be communicated.
• Remember, being a bestseller isn't everything; there’s more satisfaction gained by disseminating wisdom and allowing others to build upon each other’s insights.

Dynamic, insightful, inspiring, and visionary - these are the words often used to describe Gail Jacob Barker, the renowned author of “What Matters Now: Lessons on Living with Ease.” An entrepreneur and a leadership coach for two decades, Gail has dedicated herself to guiding leaders, aspiring leaders, and their teams to lead at the work they love, without sacrificing their lives on the altar of their leadership.
