Omg Maryann thank you your newsletter and advice! I want to invest in women's health companies and finding caregiving solutions is sooo important! We should create like some sort of round table or think tank of volunteers committed to the cause of coming up with new ideas to tackle these issues or perfecting lackluster programs already in use. Then, if one if our ideas take off, we're all equal partners. Obviously there'd need to be clear legalities in place before we begin of which I know nothing LOL but still, I'd be 100% down for something like that!

Thank you so much - I love your passion for this! Caregiving solutions touch so many lives, and it’s great to see more people thinking about them. There’s definitely a lot to consider as you rightly mention—especially when it comes to legal, regulatory, and cross-border complexities. Important conversations to keep having!

Maryann is there an investment platform that you recommend as a novice investor especially if I want to invest in women's health orgs or female and equity focused ETFs?

Such an important topic, thank you for posting! I'm hopeful that we'll see some great health tech solutions for caregiving soon but v much agree we need to work on sharing the responsibility too! It's like with reproductive health-if men had to give birth we'd probably have artificial wombs already 😂

Thank you Sonia. I completely agree. Health tech has so much potential to ease the caregiving burden and we also need a cultural shift in how caregiving is valued.

And reproductive health - well, history speaks for itself 😊

Yes I am a big believer in education on financial independence for women. This can help women avoid remaining in unhappy romantic entanglements as well.

Thank you for helping women frame and build their wealth and health, Maryann. It's so crucial to acknowledge women's role as caretakers, not just verbally, but in real monetary terms, so their efforts see a real ROI.

I admire your perspective Nicolas. Caring for a loved one is deeply meaningful. Unfortunately, many caregivers face financial strain that limits their choices. This article aims to help them build security while honouring that role.
