About this episode

Shelly Grimm shares her journey as a caregiver and financial consultant, empowering families facing chronic illness.

Shelly Grimm is a Financial Consultant, Author, and Founder of The Perpetual Caregiver, empowering families facing chronic illness. A "Ladypreneur" recognized by the Worldwide Women's Association with 27 years of financial expertise, she helps ensure dignity and peace of mind through unique tools like the Family Love Letter. Shelly's journey began as the lifelong caregiver for her mother, the first woman diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in the U.S. in 1956. This path included legal emancipation at 13 and a harrowing turning point at 17 when a "hit" was put out on her life, forcing her to flee Amarillo and resolve to help others prepare for life's uninvited challenges.
