    Navigating LTC Insurance Claims with Bill Comfort

    Send us a text 📋 Long-term care insurance can be a lifeline—or a landmine—if you don’t know how to navigate the claims process. I sat down with my colleague and mentor, Bill Comfort, to talk about something we don’t discuss nearly enough: how to confidently navigate a long-term care insurance claim when the time comes. From why claims are more complex than most people expect, to what families and professionals need to know before filing, this conversation is packed with insight, practical tips, and eye-opening stories that every advisor, caregiver, and policyholder should hear. We also talk about the growing wave of claims coming in the next decade—and how the professionals around those families can make all the difference in helping them receive the care and support they deserve. 🎧 If you’ve ever wondered how to help a loved one (or client) get the most from their policy, this one is a must-listen.

    A Clearer Path to Aging Well: The Overlooked Role of Eye Health with Dr. Ravi Goel

    Send us a text 👁️ There’s more to an eye exam than meets the eye... What if one simple exam could reveal far more than just how well you see? I sat down with Dr. Ravi Goel to explore a topic that touches every one of us—but rarely gets talked about. We covered far more than vision care. This conversation opened my eyes (literally!) to some surprising connections between eye health, aging, and long-term planning. Whether you’re caring for yourself or someone you love, this is something you’ll want to hear. We also touched on a couple of resources that could be game-changers for families navigating care decisions. 🎧 Take a listen—you might never look at a routine eye exam the same way again. #EyeCare #VisionHealth #HealthyAging #SteadfastCarePlanning #SeniorWellness #CarePlanning #AgingWell #Cataracts #Glaucoma #PreventiveCare #Podcast For additional information about Kelly, check her out on Linkedin or www.SteadfastAgents.com.

    Send us a text Thinking about retirement—or helping others prepare? Here are 3 key takeaways to keep in mind: 1.

These guideposts help shape retirement into a season of meaning, impact, and joy. 3. Family Conversations Are More Powerful Than You Think Talking with your loved ones—especially adult children—about your plans brings clarity, peace, and stronger stewardship across generations. It’s not just about money. It’s about preparing hearts and minds for what’s ahead.

    Pill Pile-Up: Navigating the Dangers of Medication Overload in Older Adults with Dr. Nancy Taylor

    Send us a text 🎙️ What are the hidden dangers of polypharmacy and how it affects older adults? Kelly chatted with Dr. Nancy Taylor about this and here are the key takeaways from their conversation: 🔹 Polypharmacy Awareness: Polypharmacy refers to using multiple medications at the same time, often leading to unintended side effects or complications. It’s crucial to regularly reconcile medications, especially after adding new prescriptions. 🔹 Communication is Key: Effective communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential. Schedule appointments with your healthcare provider with a clear agenda to address your medication concerns and ensure everything you’re taking is necessary and safe. 🔹 Consider Deprescribing: Deprescribing is the process of tapering or stopping medications that might not be required anymore. It's important to involve your healthcare team, including pharmacists, who can offer insights into safe medication management.
