Have you ever thought, “This IS good enough and I really don’t care what others think! Well, maybe a little”
In this episode, oldest sister JJ Elliott Hill continues her caregiver story from episode #1 - You’re in Charge: Society’s Expectation of the Oldest Child. Listen in as JJ shares with her sisters how she could no longer let perfect be the enemy of good and the strategies she incorporates daily to give herself the same grace she so freely offers others.
Key Takeaways:
· You’ve got to have a difficult conversation with our parents and/or care recipient! To be effective, you need to know the Who, What, When, & Where!
· You will not be perfect. So go ahead and forgive yourself – past, present and future!
· Don’t let great be the enemy of good. Some days, you need to say to yourself, “This is/was good and that’s enough!”

Learn More About JJ Elliott Hill
J.J. Elliott Hill trained for a career in finance, working over 17 years consulting with business and commercial clients. In March 2013, she found herself downsized, jobless and disinterested in furthering a career in banking. Following a few months of self-pity, she partnered up full time with her fiancé to turn their basement hobby shop into a retail store in Greensboro, NC. By November 2013 she was selling Nemo and Dory for a living! Over the next 4 years, the business grew from a small, rented space to a 10,000sq ft building purchased to operate the aquarium retail, service, and custom design company.
She spent the next 12 years as a managing partner for the retail and service company, along with a manufacturing start-up, two residential rental companies, and a commercial real estate company – all at the same time. In August 2022, the aquarium retail store was sold and a new business in wholesale fish collection was opened in Florida.
J.J. received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Hollins College and her Master of Business Administration in Executive Management Studies from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is a candidate for the CCC, CCE and CCF Certificates from The Caregiving Years Academy in December 2022.
She calls home base the Florida Keys with her husband Dexter and their dog, Oscar. But much of her heart is in North Carolina with grandsons, Eli & Tommy.
