About Nicole àBeckett
Nicole àBeckett is the founder of HeroGeneration, a platform born from her personal journey as a caregiver to her aging parents. While raising her own young family, Nicole was thrust into the complex world of hospital discharges, care decisions, and medical advocacy — all with little guidance or support. Her experience as part of the “sandwich generation” inspired her to create a resource that didn’t exist: one that empowers caregivers with clarity, tools, and community during some of life’s most overwhelming transitions. A passionate advocate and social entrepreneur, Nicole brings heartfelt stories, practical insights, and a mission to shine a light on the invisible work of caregiving. She’s on a mission to change how we support family caregivers — and to remind them they’re not alone.
