Wife, Mom of Two, Federal Employee & Author

Sharing practical guidance and real-life perspective for families navigating caregiving, finances, and the in-between season of life.

My Story

Hi, I'm Emily Hutchinson — a wife, mom of two, and a proud African American woman navigating life in the Sandwich Generation. By day, I serve as a federal employee, and by night, I'm balancing the needs of my family, my marriage, and my own dreams.

I'm the second of five children, which means I learned early what it means to share, to support, and to step up when family needs you. Those lessons have shaped how I care for my loved ones today.


Finding Balance

When I'm not working or writing, you'll probably find me crafting — it's my creative outlet and my way of finding peace in the middle of life's chaos.

This book grew out of my real experiences. Like so many in our community, I know what it feels like to stretch yourself between generations — raising kids, supporting parents, and still trying to plan for your own future.


My Hope

My hope is that by sharing what I've learned, I can help others feel less alone and more empowered on this journey.
