  • You’ll find insights you don’t know you need… until you do!

    Our 90 year-old mother has been healthy, active, image conscious and engaged in community until recently.

    Over the past year, Mom, who is widowed and lives alone, has had singular “incidents” that we are now forced to look at as a whole. She caused a fender bender, fell for an online scam, then she really fell in the bathtub, and finally we see a steep decline in self-care.

  • Variety of Shows

    The thing I love most about this podcast is the variety of shows: from solo episodes about Rebecca’s experience as a clinician and granddaughter to expert guests and “average” guests discussing their experiences (good and bad) dealing with their aging parents. I also love Rebecca’s willingness to be transparent and her ability to tackle difficult topics in a non-judgmental way.

  • Thank you!

    Thank you! I’m the first of my friend group having to navigate elder parent challenges and it can be so lonely and I also know my fiancé is tired of hearing me vent about the same old things so this podcast feels like a perfect safe space. I love the “recovering perfect daughter” identity - thank you thank you thank you!
