About The Series
As our parents age, they often face a life transition due to changing health needs, finances, downsizing or end of life. As children, these transitions become our Parent Projects. The Podcast is a resource of stories, interviews and tips to help families replace the guilt and fear with love and laughter.
Most people become family caregivers with little to no knowledge or firsthand experience. Assuming responsibility for care planning, legal and financial issues, and managing age-related health conditions—all while juggling your own life—is enough to make any caregiver think “what have I gotten myself into?”
