Recognizing the gendered impact of caregiving is vital for fostering workplace inclusivity. Caregiving, traditionally borne by women, presents unique challenges that intersect with their career progression.
Consoul is our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. It empowers underrepresented employees to navigate personal and professional spheres and focus on their well-being.

In today's world, caregiving demands often force many employees, predominantly women to leave the workforce. Providing dedicated support for these employees isn't just a benefit—it's a necessity. With an aging population, retaining talent is more critical than ever. Solutions that address caregiving challenges are essential. By valuing both professional contributions and personal journeys, we create a culture where top talent feels supported and valued in all aspects of their lives.

70% of employees who provide care at home feel burnt out and isolated.

Our Story
With almost two decades in HR and talent acquisition for tech and media companies, Cindy has dedicated her career to fostering inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplaces. She has seen firsthand the challenges in retaining top employees, especially women. Her commitment to these values, combined with a deeply personal experience, led her to co-found Consoul. Inspired by her father's unwavering spirit—who, despite a terminal diagnosis, walked her down the aisle before passing away shortly after—Cindy is driven to help caregivers maintain meaningful connections and cherish every moment with their loved ones.

As the founder of 161 Content Studios and co-founder of Hallowed Grounds, Fabio brings over 10 years of experience in storytelling through commercial work, branded content, and live events. During Jordan's battle with cancer, Fabio's limited ability to help due to the pandemic motivated him to develop Consoul's community-based and storytelling components. Fabio ensures that caregivers and their support networks can stay connected and engaged.
Fabio Buritica
Consoul was born from the shared belief that everyone deserves access to tools that support their caregiving journey. Our founders—Cindy Diogo, Stefanie Kociuba, and Fabio Buritica—have all experienced the impact of caring for a loved one with a terminal illness. These experiences inspired them to create a platform that fosters connection and support.
