Episode notes
Concert chaos, snow globes, and the magic of saying, “I know this sucks.” 🎶 We dive into the messy, hilarious, excuse-my-French, oh-so-relatable moments of supporting our aging parent when the plan explodes.
Cognitive clutter, mentor moms, role fatigue, roadkill friends and why scheduling fun is non-negotiable. Plus, the invisible load you didn’t know had a name. Bring your messy middle—we’re here for it.
New episodes every other Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts. If you like what you hear, please like and follow.
Our new book, “Thriving in Chaos; Navigating the Challenges of Aging Parents” is available February 18, 2025 on Amazon.
