Ep #119 — From Loss to Home Care Business with Que Maxwell of Two Caring Hearts Part of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series 🖤 What do you do with your grief when you couldn't save the people you loved most? Que Maxwell built 2Caring Hearts — a home care and wellness business serving elderly, disabled, and post-hospital clients — after losing her father and her husband suddenly, within years of each other, and feeling the weight of not being able to do anything for them.

Now she and her sister run a home care agency that's grown to 14 families in just five months, built entirely on word of mouth. What We Talk About How losing her dad at 13 and her husband years later turned personal grief into a calling to advocate for the elderly and disabled Why she says "get a mentor" is the single best piece of advice for anyone entering home care — and the trial-and-error year it took her to learn that lesson The unexpected turn: the client case that taught her to strengthen her intake questionnaire — and why she says families should never lie on the form If you love origin stories that don't skip the scary parts, this episode is for you.
