I'm 45. I'm in the middle right now. I feel like I plateaued ten years ago, but I'm still moving up.” In this episode, I talk honestly about aging, the struggle with aging parents, and why I'll never resonate with my mom. I share what it's like to care too much, to realize that the roles have reversed, and to feel like your parents—your superheroes—no longer understand you. I open up about generational gaps, acceptance, walking as the happy pill, and the hard truth that “you can't help people who don't want help.” This is about learning to step back, love others as they are, and love yourself more.

Welcome to a very personal episode of my retirement journey — one that doesn't include beaches, books, and bucket lists. Not yet, anyway.This video dives into the emotional reality of being part of the "Sandwich Generation," but in my case, it's more like a triple-decker. I'm pulled in three directions: my six grandkids (ranging from 2 to 19), my aging parents — including a father with severe dementia — and my own retired husband who's eager to travel and explore. Sound familiar? You're not alone.In this heartfelt video, I share the guilt, the pressure, and the constant balancing act that defines this phase of life for so many of us. Retirement was supposed to be freedom — but for many, it's a season of caregiving, decision-making, and emotional overwhelm. I talk about the heartbreak of watching my father's decline, the worry of not being present enough for my grandkids, and the mental tug-of-war between duty and desire.It's raw, it's honest, and it's a conversation we don't have often enough. If you're navigating retirement while caring for aging parents and supporting younger generations, this video is for you. Whether you're feeling torn, tired, or just need to hear someone say, "me too," I hope this message brings you comfort, validation, and maybe even a little clarity.Don't forget to subscribe for more real talk about retirement, and share your story in the comments — let's build a supportive community together.Please join our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/lifestartsatretirement

Many adults with schizophrenia rely on family members for daily support, often depending on parents in their 50s or 60s. As these parents grow older, they face mounting physical and emotional challenges — along with the pressing question of who will care for their child in the future. In this episode of Inside Schizophrenia, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives with schizophrenia, and co-host Gabe Howard dive into the unique struggles of aging parents caring for an adult child with schizophrenia. Joining the conversation is Maye Jepson, a mother and caregiver to an adult son with schizophrenia. As a passionate advocate and a master's-level counselor, Maye offers invaluable insights on navigating the caregiving journey and preparing for the future. Maye Jepson lives in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and, along with her husband Phil, is the caregiver/TRUST PARTNER and parent of Jason Jepson who has a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Remembering the uncertain days when her family first learned of her son's mental illness, Maye formed a Facebook support group — Parenting Thru Mental Illness — hoping to give and share resources for those who are newly entering the world of mental illness. In the past, Maye has volunteered with several international boards, including Stonecroft Ministries, Imago Dei Arts, and Global Partners in Hope. In addition to a Bachelor of Science degree, Maye has a master's degree in counseling from Marshall University. Like her son, Maye volunteers with the Share Network where she shares her perspective on mental health as a parent, wanting desperately to help a young adult child maneuver the challenges of schizophrenia. She works as a Care Guide for Johnson and Johnson's Connected by Hope program. Maye serves on the Advisory Board of Students with Psychosis because she believes in the importance of shedding light on mental health issues from the youngest to the oldest consumer. Maye and her son Jason were Finalists for the Social Health Network's Best Team award, and they were the recipients of the Students with Psychosis Family Advocacy Award. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage and let others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has written Lil Broken Star: Understanding Schizophrenia for Kids and a tool for schizophrenics, To See in the Dark: Hallucination and Delusion Journal. Fun Fact: She has wrestled alligators. To learn more about Rachel, please visit her website, RachelStarLive.com. Our cohost, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most delicate yet essential discussions families need to have: aging and finances. It's not just about planning for the future—it's about ensuring clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved. Many parents assume their children are only interested in their inheritance, while adult children are more focused on logistics—whether their parents are financially secure, who will make decisions, and what kind of support will be needed.At the same time, adult children often think their parents only want to talk about maintaining independence or that they're unwilling to discuss financial matters. In reality, many parents want to share their wishes but struggle with how much detail to provide. Some are hesitant because they fear their preferences may be ignored or overridden. Others want to pass on their financial values, ensuring their wealth is used to support family members or causes they care about.The key to bridging these communication gaps is to approach the conversation with curiosity rather than control. Keeping discussions casual and starting with shared goals—like ensuring the family is prepared—can help ease tension. If starting the conversation feels awkward, using a real-life example (or even a made-up one) can make it more natural. A financial professional can also be a valuable resource in facilitating these discussions, helping to clarify complex topics like estate planning and long-term care preferences.   Amy explains how this might work.A structured yet informal family meeting with a financial advisor can ensure that everyone understands the financial landscape, responsibilities, and expectations. Whether it's deciding who will handle the bills, managing digital assets, or simply settling who gets a sentimental ceramic cat, these discussions help eliminate surprises and prevent misunderstandings down the road.The bottom line: these conversations don't have to be overwhelming. By starting small, approaching with curiosity, and focusing on shared goals, families can navigate aging and financial planning with confidence. And if it all feels too daunting, professionals like Amy Walls at Thimbleberry Financial are available to help guide the process. To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.
