Balance while caregiving

How do you find balance while taking care of a loved one? There’s no way to have perfect balance when you’re caregiving. But you can still be a great caregiver and still have great quality of life.

Purposeful retirement

How do I manage the loss of daily connection and identity in retirement? You can have a retirement full of purpose and connection, as long as you’re intentional about it.

Difficult conversations

How do I talk to my adult kids about what happens when I’m gone? It’s normal for adult children to feel uncomfortable talking about their parents’ aging. But sharing your ‘why’ can help.
