Caring Transitions

In celebration of National Women’s Entrepreneurship Day,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caringtransitionsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions</a> — the nation’s leading provider of senior relocation, downsizing and estate sale services — is honoring the incredible women who bring compassion, leadership and entrepreneurial excellence to communities across the country. From former attorneys and corporate professionals to lifelong entrepreneurs, these women are redefining what it means to lead with purpose and empathy thanks to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/caringtransitions/info">Caring Transitions</a>.<h2>Donna Sherer: Turning Personal Experience Into Purpose</h2>For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/donna-sherer-a369ab26/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Donna Sherer</a>, owner of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caringtransitions.com/locations/upstate-south-carolina?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions of Upstate South Carolina</a>, entrepreneurship became a way to turn loss into impact. After navigating the emotional process of clearing out her late father’s home, Sherer discovered Caring Transitions and realized there was a powerful business opportunity to help families during some of life’s most difficult transitions.“When my father passed away, I had the responsibility of taking care of all of his belongings,” Sherer said. “It was overwhelming. When I found out a company like Caring Transitions existed, I knew right away it was something I wanted to be a part of.”Since launching her business in 2019, Sherer has doubled her sales year over year, growing organically through community referrals and partnerships with realtors. Her success reflects the demand for compassionate, professional relocation services — and her commitment to meeting families where they are with care and understanding.“We don’t just move boxes — we move memories,” Sherer said. “Helping families through that process is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.”<h2>Kathleen Cantillon: Leading With Empathy and Expertise</h2>When&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleencantillon/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kathleen Cantillon</a> helped her aging parents move from their longtime home, she realized just how complex and emotional the process could be. That experience inspired her to leave behind a two-decade career in corporate communications and launch&nbsp;<a href="http://ctbids.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions of Hinsdale, IL</a>.“It was overwhelming — not just for them, but for me,” Cantillon said. “I wish there had been someone to guide us through that experience. Now I get to be that person for other families.”With a background in journalism and crisis communications, Cantillon brings a unique combination of professionalism and empathy to her work. Her franchise helps families declutter, downsize and resettle, offering end-to-end support through CTBids online auctions and personalized move management.“I wanted to use my skills in a way that felt aligned with who I am,” she said. “Helping people through transitions — and seeing the relief on their faces — has been so fulfilling.”<h2>Kelly Temeyer: Finding a New Practice in Purpose</h2>After a successful career practicing employment law,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-temeyer-82247a2a?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kelly Temeyer</a> was ready for a new challenge — one that allowed her to make a direct, positive impact. Today, as the owner of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caringtransitionsmetromilwaukee.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions of Metro Milwaukee</a>, Temeyer uses her legal background and problem-solving skills to guide families through major life changes.“Franchising gave me the support I needed to start something new, but also the flexibility to make it my own,” she said. “Caring Transitions offered immediate, meaningful solutions to people who needed help — and that’s what drew me in.”Temeyer’s business has thrived since its launch in 2018, even expanding into a second territory as she continues to grow her client base. She credits the brand’s multiple revenue streams — from relocation to estate sales — for enabling scalability while keeping the mission front and center.“There’s no limit to how much we can help someone,” Temeyer said. “Every family has a unique story, and we get to be part of helping them start a new chapter.”<h2>Trisha Isais: Building a Business That Serves the Whole Community</h2>Wyoming-based franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trisha-isais-8ba183156?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Trisha Isais</a> exemplifies entrepreneurial innovation. Alongside her husband, Josh, she operates a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.caringtransitions.com/locations/casper-and-cheyenne?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions franchise in Casper, Wyoming</a>, that integrates seamlessly with their existing janitorial and real estate businesses.“Our local Caring Transitions operation was for sale, and once we learned about it, we knew it was a great fit,” Isais said. “It complements what we already do — cleaning homes, managing moves and now helping families sell and resettle.”Since acquiring their franchise in 2019, the Isaises have created a full-service ecosystem that supports seniors from start to finish — from packing and cleaning to online auctions and real estate sales.“It’s very rewarding work, especially when we can help seniors settle into a new place and make it feel like home,” Isais said. “We see the relief on their faces, and that makes all the difference.”<h2>Empowering Women To Build Businesses With Heart</h2>Women like Sherer, Cantillon, Temeyer and Isais represent the spirit of entrepreneurship that defines Caring Transitions — a network built on empathy, service and opportunity. Each has carved her own path while making an impact in the lives of seniors and families in transition.“Our franchise model attracts women who want to make a meaningful difference while running a successful business,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-lewandowski-822b5011/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=celebrating-national-womens-entrepreneurship-day-by-honoring-the-women-of-caring-transitions-2730808" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joe Lewandowski</a>, President of Caring Transitions. “Their leadership continues to inspire our entire network.”Learn more about Caring Transitions franchise opportunities at<a href="https://1851franchise.com/caringtransitions">&nbsp;1851franchise.com/caringtransitions</a>.
