Fading Memories: Alzheimer's/Dementia Caregiver Support

Show me the money is about having essential conversations with your parents about their finances. Talking to your parents about their financial matters isn’t easy territory; you need to know what to say & what not to say. My guest, Cameron Huddleston is an award-winning, financial journalist. Despite her comfort with financial conversations and her Moms openness on the subject, trouble loomed. They didn’t discuss the importance of long-term-care insurance early enough for her Mom. In this episode, Cameron will give us tips for talking with our siblings (something I could have used)about your parents’ finances. She also discusses ways to tackle conversations about estate planning, documents, long-term-care, and when it’s time to move. Our conversation is a taste of what you’ll get in her new book, “Mom and Dad we need to talk”. This book gives you advice on every step plus exercises to help you get comfortable. Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk is the essential guide for having productive financial conversations with your parents that lead to meaningful action. This podcast episode helps you get started too.

Heart and Soul: Pandemic Loss and Creating a Caregiving Podcast

Heart and Soul: Pandemic Loss and Creating a Caregiving Podcast. Welcome to episode #216. I, Jen, can’t believe I’ve been podcasting for four years. I still feel like a newbie. This episode is a little bit of my story, including what it was like losing my Mom during the pandemic. I also talk about what I’ve learned from doing this show, and a little bit of behind-the-scenes into how the show gets made. When Jen started out on her podcasting journey, she planned on sharing all she knew. That didn’t last long. After tapping into her less than deep well of knowledge, Jen branched out & spoke to local people in the caregiving niche. It didn’t take long to have to venture further out and talk to people worldwide! Jen will bring more of her personal stories in season 5, which starts May 2022! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More Episodes from Jen: My Journey With Family Alzheimer’s & Memory Loss Special Episode – What Do You Remember?
