Strengthening 1M Caregiving Men with Kyle Woody
About this episode
What does it really look like when men step into the caregiving role — and why are they so often invisible in the conversation?
Kyle Woody knows firsthand. He cared for his wife through Stage 4 Colon Cancer, even after she asked for a divorce four years into their caregiving journey. Now, he cares for his two sons while working full-time. Drawing on his care experiences, Kyle founded Jack's Caregiver Coalition — an organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening male caregivers.
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Kyle shares:
- Why men are the most overlooked non-professional caregivers — and what needs to change
- His organization's bold mission to strengthen 1 million caregiving men by 2035
- What it was like to meet Oprah and share his story as part of her book club
- How he navigates the unique experience of co-parenting with his late ex-wife's boyfriend
- His go-to self-care strategies: working with a coach, writing letters to himself, asking four morning questions, and rucking
Whether you're a male caregiver who's been going it alone or someone who loves one, this episode is full of honest insight and practical encouragement.
