About Me
Hi, I’m Barbara Hyland—an MBA, project manager, and operations executive with over two decades of experience building systems that bring clarity to chaos.
I’ve spent my career managing complex logistics, coordinating moving parts, and supporting decision-makers behind the scenes. I’ve also done that exact work at home—navigating my own family’s needs as parents age, medical events unfold, and roles shift overnight.
Process is my love language. And when aging parents want to stay at home, things get complicated fast.
What I’ve learned is this:
Everyone shows up for the patient.
Who shows up for the family trying to hold it all together?
That’s why I started Next of Kin: to give adult children of aging parents the structure, planning, and steady backup they deserve. Not as a therapist. Not as a caregiver. But as someone who knows how to organize what’s next, and now does this work alongside my husband, who’s been in the thick of it with me.
Ready to feel less alone in this?
You don’t have to figure everything out today.
But if you’re ready for one clear step forward—this is it.
