Parenting doesn't end when your kids grow up — it just changes. And for many, that shift can be confusing, frustrating, and even painful. How do you move from being the authority to being a supportive "peer"? And what do you do when your hopes for your adult children don't align with who they've become? Today, we're joined by Dr. Francine Toder, a clinical psychologist to discuss her new book Your Kids are Grown: Parenting 2.0 - With Strategies for Moving On. Drawing on decades of research, therapy, and her own lived experience, Dr. Toder shares practical wisdom on how to navigate this often-overlooked stage of family life. You'll learn how to let go, listen with empathy, and focus on your own growth while building stronger, healthier relationships with your adult kids — and perhaps, rediscovering yourself in the process. Francine Toder joins us from California. __________________________ Bio Francine Toder, Ph.D. is an emeritus faculty member of California State University, Sacramento and is a clinical psychologist retired from private practice.

CEOs are expressing increasing confidence and displaying resilience as they navigate a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape, according to the latest EY CEO Outlook, with ongoing volatility acting as a catalyst to rethink supply chains, business models, markets and investment priorities. The research, which involved more than 1200 CEOs globally, including 40 senior CEOs here in Ireland, found that while global economic sentiment remains muted, with almost six in ten (57%) of global CEOs expecting geopolitical and economic uncertainty to last well beyond a year, Irish CEOs are notably more confident in their own performance. Six in ten (60%) Irish CEOs expect profitability over the next year, while sentiment in relation to revenue growth is also positive. This confidence stems from a pragmatic but proactive approach to strategy, with leaders increasingly prioritising AI and automation, business model transformation and capability-building through M&A. Particularly notable is the focus from Irish CEOs on regionalisation, with 77% saying that producing and sourcing closer to home has become a long-term strategy. Seven in ten (70%) CEOs have placed regionalisation at the core of their strategy, across operations, supply chains, research and technology. While Irish CEOs remain confident, the survey also provides some cautionary signals, as they are facing a complex mix of financial and operational pressures. Notably, nearly eight in ten (78%) cited optimism around input costs, up from 48% in May. However, the cost of energy was cited as an area of particular concern, with 50% of leaders saying it is directly affecting operational performance. Regulatory complexity is another challenge, with a third citing competing regulations as a barrier to change. Talent constraints are another key area of concern, with confidence in the ability to attract and retain talent declining sharply from 55% in the previous research to just 35%. The drop is most pronounced in high-demand sectors, particularly those requiring digital and technical skills. Globally, most CEOs anticipate that prolonged uncertainty will persist, with 57% of CEOs expecting uncertainty to last beyond a year. Despite this, the survey's CEO Confidence Index - which measures sentiment across strategy, operations, and investment- stands at 83, up seven points since May. Helena O'Dwyer, Partner and Head of Strategy at EY-Parthenon Ireland, said: "Our latest CEO survey finds that, in spite of the ongoing global geopolitical and economic headwinds, CEOs are expressing confidence in their organisation's future and their ability to lead through uncertainty. Following a period earlier this year when many firms adopted a 'wait and see' approach, we are now seeing a shift toward action. Nearly six in ten Irish CEOs say they plan to increase investment in portfolio transformation and strategic M&A over the next 12 months. What stands out from our conversations with clients is a clear focus on divesting assets that are no longer delivering value, simplifying operations, and sharpening core capabilities. As geopolitical change reshapes global trade flows, regionalisation is emerging as a cornerstone of strategy. Interestingly, CEOs view this shift to regionalisation and localisation not as a temporary adjustment, but as a long-term strategic move, with leaders reconfiguring supply chains and operations to stay closer to customers and reduce global exposure." Building for performance and resilience Irish CEOs are backing their confidence with action. Beyond those accelerating transformations (58% are planning to reshape their business this year), a further 40% plan to maintain current investment levels, signalling a sustained commitment to reshaping business portfolios. Funding strategies are measured; many are turning to debt or divesting non-core assets, while internal growth continues to be a key driver. Mergers, acquisitions and partnerships remain central to CEO strategy, with 98% ...
September has been a record-breaking month for global markets, with the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ hitting all-time highs.

Join our group and design your retirement. Six Fridays starting on October 3rd. Learn more here. _________________________ Is there more to a great life than happiness and meaning? Dr. Shige Oishi thinks so. He's the author of Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life, and he defines psychological richness as a life filled with diverse, interesting, and perspective-shifting experiences. Unlike the well-trodden paths of happiness (contentment) and meaning (purpose-driven focus), psychological richness is about exploration, challenge, and even taking on uncomfortable challenges —because growth lives outside the comfort zone. And retirement is a catalyst to explore this third dimension of life. Yet, psychological richness doesn't require dramatic change. It's quite accessible through small shifts, and by simply trying something new. Try new foods, meet someone new, or change your routine. And seize opportunities to be spontaneous and playful. Listen in and learn more about how psychological richness can enhance your life in retirement. Shige Oishi joins us from Chicago. _________________________ Bio Dr. Shige Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He is the author of Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life. Dr Oishi is one of the foremost authorities on happiness, meaning, and culture.

Drawing from her “Joyspan Matrix” and decades of experience, Kerry, a nationally recognized advocate for positive aging, offers a fresh perspective and new thinking on thriving in later life for your consideration. We discuss: The importance of joyspan alongside lifespan and healthspan What she's learned from her longest running case study (her Mom) Lessons from her grandmothers' contrasting approaches to aging The four pillars of the Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give Why connection is as vital as medicine How purpose can change our biology and well-being Practical ways to spark curiosity and joy through personal projects Kerry Burnight joins us from Southern California. ________________________ Bio Dr. Kerry Burnight, America's Gerontologist, is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to “Dr. Kerry” for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity. Her approach to aging is based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan and even healthspan don't address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don't like your life. Burnight introduces the critical concept, “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. She earned her PhD in Gerontology at the University of Southern California. Dr. Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. She was an invited speaker to the U.S. White House at the Elder Justice Summit and at the U.S. Department of Justice. She has appeared on CBS News, NBC News, The Doctors, Money Matters, and The Dr. Phil Show. ___________________________ Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half Website On CBS Mornings with Gayle King and team (4 minutes) ____________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like Thinking Better to Live Better – Dr. Woo-kyoung Ahn Ageism Unmasked – Dr. Tracey Gendron The Joy Choice – Dr. Michelle Segar ____________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

A 2012 Olympian in diving, she grew up immersed in the sport—coached by her parents, competing at Stanford, and training for years beyond. When she reached her dream of competing at the London Games, she also knew it was time to move on. In this conversation, Cassidy Krug shares the lessons she learned about navigating major life transitions—from sport to career, and from an “all-in” life to an “à la carte” one. She talks candidly about the identity shifts, the uncertainty of new beginnings, and the importance of reflection, interpretation, and community. Her story offers inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone facing their own turning points, especially those contemplating or entering retirement. Cassidy Krug joins us from Los Angeles. _______________________ We Discuss The emotional challenges of retiring from something when you still love what you do Why we tend to cling too long to what we do—and what helps us let go The critical role of interpreting your story, not just reacting to change How asking for help (and informational interviews) opened new doors in her career Creating an “à la carte” life after diving, balancing career, creativity, and relationships The value of curiosity and trying new things—even when you're used to being an expert Why investing in community matters so much after leaving a team or workplace The best advice she received (and what she wishes she had) about embracing change _________________________ Bio Cassidy Krug is the author of Resurface: A Guide to Navigating Life's Biggest Transitions.

The Signal Beneath the Noise Serious operators obsess over the next print, but my podcast/YouTube guest this week, Bankrate senior economic analyst, Mark Hamrick, argues the industry is missing the structural signals that actually set the cost of capital and shape demand. Start with this premise: Data credibility is a macro variable. When the quality of national jobs and inflation statistics is questioned, it is not just an esoteric Beltway quarrel; it becomes a pricing input for Treasuries and, by extension, mortgages, construction loans and exit cap rates. As Hamrick puts it, the path to good decisions for households, enterprises and policymakers ‘is lined by high quality economic data, most of which is generated by the federal government.' Hamrick's concern is not theoretical. He links the chain plainly: if markets doubt the numbers guiding the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, you can ‘envision a scenario where there's less demand for our Treasury debt,' forcing higher yields to clear supply – an economy‑wide tax that lifts borrowing costs from mortgages to autos and narrows the Fed's room to maneuver. What Happens If Trust Erodes? The near‑term catalyst for this anxiety is unusual: the Labor Department's head statistician was fired after unfavorable revisions, and an underqualified nominee has floated ideas as extreme as not publishing the data at all. Hamrick's advice for investors and executives is simple: pay attention. This may not break the system tomorrow, but it introduces risk premia where none previously existed. Through a real estate lens, the translation is straightforward. Underwriting already contends with volatile inputs on rents, expenses and exit liquidity; add a credibility discount on macro data and your discount rate moves against you. Prudent sponsors should stress‑test deals for a modest upward shock in base rates – an echo of Hamrick's ‘economy‑wide tax' – and consider how thinner debt markets would propagate through construction starts and refis. Housing's Lock‑In: Inventory, Not Prices, Is the Release Valve The ‘lock‑in effect' remains the defining feature of U.S. housing. Owners sitting on sub‑3% mortgages are rationally immobile, starving resale inventory and suppressing household formation mobility, a dynamic Hamrick equates with today's ‘no hire, no fire' labor market: stable but sluggish churn. Builders fill some of the gap, but affordability remains constrained by national price firmness and still‑elevated mortgage rates relative to the pandemic trough. What happens if mortgage rates dip to 6.25% or even 5.5%? Don't expect a binary ‘unlock.' Hamrick argues for incremental improvement rather than a light switch: lower rates would expand qualification and appetite gradually, and, crucially, free inventory. He is less worried that cheaper financing simply bids up prices; the supply response from would‑be sellers is the more powerful margin effect. For operators underwriting for‑sale housing (build to rent or single-family home developments), the tactical read is to focus on markets where latent move‑up sellers dominate and where new‑home concessions currently set the comp stack. He also reminds us of the persistent, national‑level truth: prices have been unusually firm for years; in the U.S., homeownership is still the primary path to wealth – advantage owners, disadvantage non‑owners. Wealth Transfer: Inequality In, Inequality Out The widely cited $84 trillion Boomer‑to‑GenX/Millennial wealth transfer via inheritance won't repair the middle class. It will mainly perpetuate asset inequality: assets beget assets, and the recipients most likely to inherit are already nearer the ‘have' column. That implies continuing bifurcation in housing demand (prime school districts, high‑amenity suburbs) alongside a renter cohort optimizing for cash‑flow goals rather than equity growth. For CRE, that supports a barbell: high‑income suburban nodes + durable rental demand where incomes grow but deposits lag. Renting Without Shame and the Budget Reality Check Hamrick is refreshingly direct: there is no shame in renting as, perhaps, there used to be. For many households, renting is a rational bridge to other financial goals; build emergency savings, avoid surprise home maintenance expenses, and keep debt service from getting ‘too far out over your skis.' For CRE owners, this fortifies the case for professionally managed rental product with transparent total‑cost‑of‑living and flexible lease options. For lenders, it argues for cautious debt-to-income ratios and expense reserves in first‑time buyer programs. Tariffs, Inflation, and the New Dashboard Hamrick closes with a monitoring list to stay on top of dominant economic trends: labor market strength (monthly employment; weekly jobless claims), the inflation complex (Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), and Personal Consumption Expenditures index (PCE)), and the full housing tape (mortgage rates, existing/new sales, builder confidence, starts) plus, of course, one political‑economy input now impossible to ignore: tariffs, with the effective rate at the highest level since the Great Depression. For CRE, tariffs are not an abstract: they seep into materials costs, fit‑out budgets, and the headline inflation path that steers the Fed. Sponsors should build tariff scenarios into Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contingencies and model procurement alternates. Actionable Takeaways for CRE Professionals Price a credibility premium: Run sensitivities for higher Treasury yields if data trust wobbles; Pay attention to how easily the government can sell its debt and the extra yield investors demand on longer bonds. Both shape interest rates, which then filter into real estate cap rates. Underwrite inventory elasticity, not sticker shock: As rates ease, model inventory release ahead of price spikes; focus on submarkets with pent‑up sellers. Lean into renting's rationality: Product that aligns with household cash‑flow priorities will capture durable demand while affordability resets. Track tariffs as a construction line‑item and macro tailwind to inflation: Feed this into budgets and hold periods. My conversation with Mark really brought home how connected real estate is to the bigger capital markets picture. If you want a sense of where cap rates are heading, keep an eye on the bond market – because that's where the story starts. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

Stepping beyond America's borders might be the smartest move for savvy investors right now. Phil Wool of Raliant Capital makes a compelling case for international equities—particularly emerging markets—at a time when U.S. stocks trade at historically high valuations.The numbers tell a striking story: U.S. equities currently command a Shiller-CAPE ratio of 38 times earnings—three standard deviations above historical averages. While this doesn't predict an imminent crash, it strongly suggests lower-than-average returns over the next decade. Meanwhile, international markets offer better growth prospects at more attractive valuations.Wool challenges the oversimplified narrative that international stocks have performed well this year solely because of dollar weakness. He highlights how emerging markets contain significant technology exposure, with many companies either competing with or supplying critical components to U.S. tech giants driving the AI revolution. This mirrors patterns from the dot-com era, when companies supplying internet infrastructure in emerging markets ultimately outperformed many headline-grabbing U.S. names.For investors concerned about selecting winners in unfamiliar markets, Raliant's "quantamental" approach offers a solution. Their systematic strategies analyze billions of data points to identify companies with strong fundamentals flying under the radar. They incorporate market-specific factors that pure fundamental investors might miss, like foreign institutional investor holdings in South Korea or retail investor behavior in Taiwan.Recent trade policy developments, including the Japan-U.S. trade agreement, demonstrate how market overreactions to political theater create opportunities for patient investors focused on fundamentals. These dislocations generate alpha for systematic strategies that can identify when stocks have unreasonably discounted good news or failed to properly price in positive developments.Ready to diversify globally? Consider using the ACWI as your benchmark, with approximately 60% in U.S. stocks and 15% in emerging markets—then adjust based on current valuations and opportunities. With today's pronounced valuation disparities, overweighting international exposure might be the prudent choice for investors seeking both diversification and potential outperformance in the coming years.
