REDESIGNING MIDLIFE | Workout Motivation Over 50, Nutrition Facts, Health & Wellness, Fitness, Exercise Inspiration, Menopause Symptoms, Self-Care, Midlife Crisis

Seeing your parents age and having to make difficult decisions with them and for them is something we all eventually will have to face. In this podcast I am talking with Michaelle Warner whose 89 year old father moved in with her and her family last year right after the pandemic started.
Michaelle walks us through the signs, how the decision was made, the financial steps that needed to happen, the good, the bad, the ugly.
My own mother also offers up some encouragement and advice having been my grandmother's caregiver for 11 years before she eventually passed.
We'll talk about
- Looking for the signs
- Having awkward conversations
- Knowing what financial arrangements and healthcare arrangements your parents already have in place
- The importance of being informed on all government rules on assets
- Encouraging your parents to make some arrangements financially and healthcare-wise if they haven't yet
- Using this as a wake-up call for yourself to get your affairs in order
- Being aware of all of the options available to you for help as a caregiver and for your parent
- Making sure you will have the support of your family
- Having the knowledge that it won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Thank you for listening and please SHARE with someone you know that might be going need this encouragement and knowledge that they aren't alone.
