Sitting in the Chair T-Shirt

Wear the message. Choose the back that speaks to you.


The Sitting in the Chair T-shirt is more than book merch. It’s for caregivers, advocates, readers, and anyone who knows what it means to sit beside someone you love and realize that sometimes you have to be the one who asks the question, speaks up, and drives the next step.


The front features the Sitting in the Chair design. Then, make it yours by choosing from three back options:


BLANK BACK

Sometimes simple is exactly right. Choose the blank back for the Sitting in the Chair front design with no additional design on the back.


“SITTIN’ AROUND LIKE WHALE POOP” BACK

If you’ve read the book, you know. 😂

Inspired by one of the most memorable stories in Sitting in the Chair, this back design is for anyone who has ever realized they’ve been waiting for something to happen instead of figuring out what they can do next.


It’s funny. It’s a little irreverent. And underneath the laugh is a pretty important reminder:

Don’t just sit there. Drive the next step.


THE CAREGIVER’S TOOLKIT BACK

Wear the seven advocacy tools from Sitting in the Chair as a reminder for yourself — and maybe for another caregiver who needs to see them:

  • Find Your Footing

  • Ask the Question Anyway

  • Don’t Accept Silence

  • Protect Their Dignity

  • Navigate the System

  • Drive the Next Step

  • Trust What You Know


Seven tools. One powerful reminder: you know your person, and your voice matters.


Choose your size and back design before adding your shirt to the cart.


Please note: 2X–4X sizes and printed back designs have an additional charge, which will be reflected when you make your selections.

    Every caregiver deserves to feel heard.

    Whether you're looking for practical guidance through
    Sitting in the Chair or searching for a speaker who understands healthcare
    from both sides of the chair, you're in the right place. I'd love to connect.
