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.

As a former competitive athlete, I understand the importance of consistency when working to reach goals in all areas, while also dealing with these transitions of life. I’ve watched many friends and family struggle, wondering why they can’t stay motivated to be active, eat intentionally, and follow through on commitments they have made to themselves.In my late 40s, I figured out how crucial it was for me to take control of my physical and mental health in order to handle all of the pressures that adult children, aging parents, looming retirement, and weight gain from menopause were throwing at me. I made the conscious decision that life was too short to not practice the self care I needed in order to prioritize my own needs at this ageIf you are ready to stop procrastinating, I want to help you make that investment in yourself.
