Life Lately: The Lessons Caregiving Keeps Teaching Me with Nicole Will
Jul 22, 202629 min
Welcome back to the willGather Podcast. I'm Nicole Will, and if you've been wondering where I've been, thank you for your patience. Over the past year, life has stretched me in ways I never expected. I've experienced incredible joy, heartbreaking loss, new opportunities, and powerful reminders of what really matters. Through it all, I found myself returning to the same themes that have always shaped this podcast: caregiving, connection, community, and the people who walk beside us through life's hardest and most beautiful moments. This episode is a little different. It's just you and me. I'm sharing some personal reflections from this past year, from supporting my best friend after a life-changing accident, to the lessons caregiving continues to teach me, to my new role with Rendever and why I believe social health is one of the most important conversations we need to be having. I'll also share what's ahead for the podcast, why I'm launching a new thought leadership series in partnership with Rendever called The Future of Community , and why I believe the future of healthy aging has less to do with living longer and everything to do with how we care for one another. I thought the best way to come back was simply to sit down and talk with you. No guest. No agenda. Just a chance to share where life has taken me, what I've been learning along the way, and where I hope we're headed together. One last thing I've been reminded of this summer as I've taken time away from the podcast: don't underestimate the power of fun. Go to the concert. Jump in the lake. Take the trip. Sit on the patio a little longer. Laugh until your stomach hurts. We spend so much of our lives waiting for the "right time," but joy has a way of healing us in the middle of ordinary days. Get outside. Be with people you love. Make memories. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is simply live. To learn more about Rendever visit HERE .

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
