Celeste Sowder is the founder of The Soul Sister Project and author of the upcoming memoir I Am Here, But I Am Late. Celeste's caregiving journey began in her teens, caring for her father who battled a chronic illness until his passing—a journey that taught her firsthand the challenges caregivers face, from burnout to deep emotional struggles. Her experience led her to a powerful realization: true caregiving begins with self-compassion and putting on your own "oxygen mask" first. Now, through The Soul Sister Project, Celeste empowers other women and caregivers to overcome shame and exhaustion by learning to fill their own cup first. By combining self-care with innovative social media and AI strategies, she helps caregivers and entrepreneurs alike use authenticity and vulnerability to build meaningful connections and lasting resilience.
