As parents age, money can get more complicated—bill paying, account access, healthcare decisions, investment management, and eventually the possibility that someone else may need to step in. In this episode, Don and Tom walk through how families can start that conversation before a crisis hits. They cover when to begin talking, what adult children should know about accounts and spending, why durable powers of attorney need to be checked with custodians in advance, and the importance of reviewing wills, beneficiaries, and backup decision-makers. They also talk about the emotional side of these transitions, including independence, trust, and the danger of children projecting their own investing preferences—or financial self-interest—onto aging parents.Then they answer two listener questions: one about whether it's time to fire an evasive advisor charging 1% plus expensive funds, and another about alternative career paths in financial planning beyond the traditional CFP route.0:05 – Intro: the hard conversation families need to have about aging and money1:00 – When parents—or you—reach the point where financial help may be needed1:56 – Tom's family experience and the challenge of stepping in gracefully3:17 – Why families should talk early about money, spending, and where accounts are held5:24 – Account access, passwords, and why digital organization matters more than ever7:38 – Durable power of attorney: why you need one and why custodians should review it in advance9:01 – Backups for everything: POAs, wills, beneficiaries, and successor decision-makers10:02 – Why adult children should meet their parents' financial advisor before a crisis11:07 – When a trusted advisor can help if parents don't want children directly involved11:28 – How to approach the conversation as an adult child without expecting instant control12:28 – Don't project your own investing style onto your parents' retirement portfolio13:28 – The uncomfortable reality of greed and inheritance influencing family decisions13:40 – Why this belongs at the top of the planning checklist for older families14:07 – How to send your own questions to Talking Real Money14:58 – Listener question: Is it time to fire a wealth manager who won't answer basic questions?17:15 – Don and Tom's verdict on an advisor charging 1% while dodging accountability18:48 – Listener question: Are there good financial-planning career paths besides becoming a CFP?20:41 – The regulatory reality of giving investment advice for a fee22:32 – Relationship roles, planning roles, and the growing specialization inside advisory firmsQuestions?

Welcome back to Dial Emma, and to the last episode of our latest miniseries, The Truth. This week, we're exploring the unsayable truths about family, and the caregiving roles that we never signed up for.Our listener, a woman in her fifties whose parents are now in their seventies, wrote to me about the feeling of losing herself while taking on multiple roles in her parents' lives: administrator, technical support, taxi service, crisis manager. She asks a simple question: am I an awful person, for wanting freedom from the people I love?In this episode, I explore the specific exhaustion that comes from being needed, the feeling of your own middle age being consumed by managing somebody else's later life, and why we can feel grief, resentment, loss and love all at once.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appBook a place on my Woodland Wellbeing Day Retreat with Alice Crowe: https://www.alicecroweceramics.co.uk/product/woodland-wellbeing-day-retreat-with-emma-reed-turrell-alice-croweSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Navigating the care of our aging parents is one of the most profound, yet least talked about, transitions we face as adults. This is really common—we rarely sit down to discuss end-of-life wishes or logistics until a sudden medical crisis throws us into an emotional whirlwind. When you are managing this transition from a distance—whether due to life circumstances or the unique demands of military deployment and relocation—the weight can easily ripple into your marriage, leading to invisible strain and emotional disconnection. In this episode, I sit down with gerontologist Janice Goldmintz to explore how couples can navigate these heavy role reversals, manage complex family dynamics, and protect their relationship bond while honoring their parents' autonomy. What this really means is that you don't have to carry this heavy weight alone. You'll walk away with small, practical tools to stay on the same team with your partner, lean on external resources safely, and build your own emotional resilience toolkit so you can thrive, not just survive. >>>Make sure to like, review, and subscribe to get all the future episodes and help the podcast be found by others who would benefit the most.  Read the show notes for this episode here.    Free Relationship Pattern Assessment Are you having the same conversation over and over?

Do you owe your toxic aging parent everything... or nothing? Clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Stinson, author of The Obligation Myth: Rethinking What You Owe Your Difficult Aging Parent, joins the show to unpack what happens when a critical, dismissive, or covertly narcissistic parent starts needing care — and why "I do everything" or "I do nothing" was never the real choice. We dig into the specific family roles that get assigned in childhood — the scapegoat, the golden child, the invisible child, and the enmeshed child — and how each one carries a different wound, gets triggered differently, and needs a completely different approach to setting a boundary. Dr. Stinson also breaks down how fear, obligation, and guilt (FOG) get weaponized differently depending on which role you were handed, and why your role can shift as the family system changes around you. If you've ever walked into your parent's house and instantly felt five years old again, this episode will help you understand why — and what to actually do about it. Lisa D. Stinson, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist specializing in complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse recovery, adult children of dysfunctional families, and the psychology of toxic family obligation. Her expertise was forged through extensive experience as an active-duty Navy psychologist, where she predominantly worked with trauma patients. Dr. Stinson holds both a Master's degree and Doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, following her undergraduate studies at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

What would happen if your parents suddenly couldn't manage their finances? Many families avoid conversations about money, aging, and future care until a crisis forces the issue. By then, important information may be difficult to find and critical decisions may need to be made quickly. I'm discussing how to start conversations with aging parents, why access to financial accounts and legal documents matters, and several practical steps families can take to prepare before an emergency occurs. To learn how to help protect your parents' finances and avoid unnecessary stress down the road, tune in.

Are you feeling stretched to your absolute breaking point, caught between the demands of generations pulling you from both sides?  In this deeply empathetic and actionable episode, we sit down with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz and Tracy Marucci to unpack the invisible, heavy toll of "living in the middle." This isn't just about a busy schedule—it is a unique seasonal collision where your nest is supposed to be empty, but instead, it is crowded with conflicting emotional, physical, and financial demands. Together, our guests break down the distinct pressures of this life stage: The Caretaking Pivot: The profound emotional grief and physical exhaustion of managing aging parents who are losing their independence. The Boomerang Effect: Navigating the complex dynamics of adult children moving back home after college or dealing with early-career struggles, shifting the boundaries of your relationship. The Midlife Identity Crisis: Finding yourself in a silent mourning period for the "empty nest" freedom you were promised, while simultaneously running on empty. Dr. Saltz provides crucial psychological tools to recognize caregiver burnout, manage boundary-setting guilt, and protect your mental health. Tracy Marucci shares raw, first-hand perspectives on surviving the day-to-day chaos of serving as the family anchor when you feel like you are drifting yourself. Whether you are currently managing doctor appointments for your parents while cooking dinner for your twenty-something, or you see this season on your horizon, this episode is a comforting reminder that you are not alone—and a guide on how to keep from losing yourself in the middle.

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Raising kids while caring for aging parents is more common than ever—and often overwhelming. We talk with Robyn Wind, the GRAND Voices Support Coordinator for the National Center on Grandfamilies at Generations United, about the realities of sandwich generation caregiving and practical ways foster, adoptive, and kinship families can find support. In this episode, we discuss:Can we start with a working definition of the term “sandwich generation”?How have you seen that definition evolve in recent years? From your work with the National Center on Grandfamilies and Generations United, what are you seeing right now that suggests this is becoming a bigger issue? What are the most common pressures you hear caregivers talk about?Where do you see caregivers feeling the most “pulled apart” between generations for whom they are caring? What are the moments when they feel like they can't meet everyone's needs at once?Are there differences in how this shows up for: Parents of young children vs. teens? Kinship caregivers or grandparents raising grandchildren? Many of our listeners are already parenting children with trauma or complex needs. How does that layer onto sandwich caregiving? Do you see unique challenges for kinship caregivers who may already be caring for grandchildren and are now also caring for aging spouses or siblings? What are some ways systems unintentionally fail these families?

The kind of person who's been helping others perform better for 40 years doesn't usually admit they're struggling. Craig Harper did.His dad is in the hospital. The drive is five hours return. The calls from clients still come. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, one of Australia's most recognised performance coaches said something he'd never said publicly before.That he's lonely.This conversation is for anyone who gives more than they get. Who holds it together at work and unravels at home. Who knows exactly what to tell others and struggles to apply it to themselves.Craig doesn't have a tidy answer here. But he does have hard-won perspective on where your energy actually goes, who you let close enough to tell the truth to, and what it takes to keep showing up when life gets genuinely heavy.Honest, uncomfortable, and worth your time.0:00 — Who motivates the motivator? Craig Harper on why this is the question helpers never get asked.1:30 — "I'm feeling pretty shit, to be honest, mate." How this conversation started.2:07 — Craig says publicly for the first time: "Sometimes I feel really lonely."5:34 — Mum and dad at 87. What's actually been going on behind the curtain.10:28 — Energy out, not in. How Craig thinks about his performance threshold when life gets heavy.12:10 — When doing a podcast feels like calm instead of work. Craig explains the difference.16:45 — Who do you belong to? Craig on connection, loneliness, and what actually fills the cup.17:09 — Vin from school. Why Craig's best mate is the one who tells him he's full of it.18:49 — The inner circle test: if the 4–5 people around you are 80% the same in five years, you'll probably be okay.23:35 — The friend who shouldn't have survived. Craig's story about the person who inspired him more than anyone he's coached.28:17 — Something Craig says here is going to land differently for anyone who's always been the strong one.30:09 — Why willpower doesn't work. What Craig uses instead when the drive back from his parents feels heavy.33:50 — "Am I acting in love?" The one question Craig asks himself to pull himself back.37:05 — One size fits one. Why the advice that works for everyone else might be the wrong advice for you.40:26 — Who actually inspires Craig Harper? His answer is not who you'd expect.43:07 — Two body signals that tell Craig he's running on empty before he consciously knows it.47:19 — The send-off.

The promise of owning an elderly parent's home may be attractive for family caregivers. Caring for aging parents may involve more work than you think, especially if a parent has dementia or Alzheimer's. Along with being a caregiver, you may give up income, health insurance, retirement savings, a social life, and the right to call your own shots because of depending on an elderly parent for income and a place to live.Trading your life to care for a parent, with a future promise to own real estate, may not be practical if your parent needs the home's equity for a reverse mortgage to pay their bills or to sell the home to pay for assisted living, memory care, or nursing home care. It's impossible to predict the future, and a promise today may need to be broken tomorrow.So while giving up a job or career to live with and care for parents might seem like a good plan, caregiving expert, educator, and consultant Pamela D.

In Episode 80 of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy and Shaun Peterson sit down with John Diehl, Senior Vice President of Applied Insights at Hartford Funds, to discuss one of the most emotional and important conversations families will face—caring for aging parents. Drawing from his work with the MIT AgeLab, John shares practical insight into recognizing early warning signs of aging, navigating difficult family conversations, and planning for future care before a crisis occurs. The discussion explores the emotional and financial realities of caregiving, the importance of preserving dignity and independence, and why avoiding these conversations can create lasting stress and conflict for families. The episode also dives into topics such as long-term care costs, fraud targeting seniors, powers of attorney, family wealth transfer, and the importance of passing down not only assets—but values, wisdom, and legacy. Through personal stories and real-life client experiences, Billy, Shaun, and John highlight how financial planning has evolved far beyond investments into helping families prepare for life's most difficult transitions. Takeaways Aging conversations are difficult, but avoiding them often creates greater emotional and financial stress later. Families should begin discussing caregiving, health concerns, and future wishes before a crisis occurs. Early warning signs of aging can appear gradually and may impact driving, finances, memory, and daily routines. Preserving dignity and independence is one of the most important parts of caring for aging parents. Financial planning today involves much more than investments—it includes family communication, caregiving preparation, and legacy planning. Long-term care costs can significantly impact retirement and family finances if not planned for early. Powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and estate planning documents are essential for every family. About our Guest:  John Diehl has been with The Hartford and Hartford Funds for more than 30 years. He's a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and also holds Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) designations. As Senior Vice President of Applied Insights, John leads Hartford Funds' research efforts with the MIT AgeLab as well as other thought leaders.

Before Your Parent's Dementia Diagnosis: 4 Things Every Family Must Do NOW (From a Daughter Who's Lived It) If you have a parent over 70, this episode could save your family $35,000, a year of your life, and the kind of stress that breaks marriages and fractures families. After four years of navigating dementia caregiving for multiple family members — including her mother-in-law with Alzheimer's, her father-in-law with vascular dementia, and now signs in her own family — Shelly Niehaus is sharing the proactive caregiving roadmap she wishes someone had handed her family before "the phone call." This is the episode every adult child with an aging parent needs to hear — before a dementia diagnosis lands in your lap. Most dementia and caregiving resources are built for families already in crisis. This one is different. This one is for the daughter, son, or spouse who has felt the flutter in their stomach but doesn't know where to start. The one quietly watching. The one quietly worrying. The one who doesn't have a plan — yet. In this deeply personal episode, Shelly walks you through the 4 areas of dementia caregiving you cannot avoid — and how to start on every single one of them today, without a diagnosis, without a family meeting, and without anyone in your family agreeing that something is wrong. In this episode, you'll learn: The Sunday phone call that changed everything: "How long do I pack for?" "I have no idea." Why the families who struggle most aren't the ones who don't love enough — they're the ones without a plan AREA 1 — Legal: Why the window to put Power of Attorney documents in place is open RIGHT NOW, and closes the moment your loved one loses capacity (and why a notarized POA is NOT the same as a complete POA) AREA 2 — Medical: Why you have to ask for a cognitive evaluation by name — and why your parent's primary care doctor probably won't bring it up AREA 3 — Financial: The slow unraveling nobody is watching, and the early sign of cognitive decline most families completely miss AREA 4 — Safety & Logistics: The conversations nobody wants to have (driving, firearms, home safety) and why naming a family quarterback BEFORE the crisis matters more than almost anything else The legal mistake that cost Mark and Shelly a year of their lives untangling frozen accounts and inaccessible Social Security The $35,000 air ambulance that could have been avoided with one earlier conversation The Truth About Watching: the 3am wake-ups, the fear, the dread, the grief that starts where the worry starts "I can't do round three. I don't have it in me." — and why Shelly is doing it anyway The one question that determines whether your family walks through this season with peace or chaos

Doug and I are walking through the next season the Lord has for us right now, and it has me reflecting on so much. It's a season we walked through 14 years ago when Doug's parents were living in our home and we were caring for his sweet mom in her final days. And now we find ourselves here again, this time with his dad. As I share a bit of what this season has looked like for us, I want to come back to the truths that have anchored me, and what God's Word says about honoring our parents and loving well in this stage of life.
