    WHEN LIFE REWRITES YOUR STORY - Dr. Denise "Neesey" Nussbaum

    Today’s guest is someone whose story reminds us that retirement doesn't necessarily mean stepping away—it can mean stepping into an entirely new purpose. Dr. Denise "Neesey" Nussbaum has done just thta....and she decided to rewite her story! And what a story it is! Dr. Denise “Neesey” Nussbaum spent more than two decades as a professor of sociology in Southern California, studying issues including identity, inequality, trauma, and discrimination. When she retired to Maui, however, those subjects moved from the classroom into real life. Seeing the struggles of vulnerable and unhoused families in West Maui, Neesey and a small group of residents founded Aloha Ranch in 2019. Then came the devastating Lahaina wildfires of 2023. Suddenly, thousands of people were confronting something many of us can barely imagine—the loss not simply of houses and possessions, but of neighborhoods, security, community, and the lives they once knew. Neesey and Aloha Ranch became part of the effort to help survivors rebuild, including assisting families as they transitioned from hotels into temporary homes at Ka La‘i Ola. Neesey is also an author. Her debut thriller, The Ashes Know Her Name, explores many of the same human questions she has encountered throughout her life and work: trauma, identity, loss, resilience, family, love, and what it takes to begin again.  Eventually, most of us experience a chapter of life we didn't choose. It may be retirement, the loss of someone we love, leaving a longtime home, illness, displacement, or simply realizing that the life ahead is going to look very different from the life behind us.  The question becomes: When life changes the story without asking our permission, how do we find purpose, identity, community, and hope again? Is it possible to rewrite our story?

    Dr. Larry Troesch - Are We Expecting Too Little Of Our Kids

    ARE WE EXPECTING TOO LITTLE FROM OUR KIDS? Have we confused protecting our children with preparing them for life? Are we raising a generation of confident, capable young adults—or teaching them that accountability, discipline, and consequences are optional? On this thought-provoking episode of Senior To Seniors, I sit down with Dr. Larry Troesh, a veteran educator with over 35 years of experience and author of The Changing Landscape of American Education.  We tackle some uncomfortable questions about entitlement, parental responsibility, classroom discipline, and what American education may have lost along the way. Were schools better years ago, or have we simply forgotten what really matters?  Parents, grandparents, and educators—this is a conversation you won't want to miss! #SenioToSeniorswithJimMazziotti #SeniorToSeniors #JimMazziotti #Parenting #Education #Accountability #Grandparents #RaisingKids

    NORTH TEXAS REAL ESTATE- THE NUMBERS AREN’T TELLING THE WHOLE STORY

    NORTH TEXAS REAL ESTATE: THE NUMBERS AREN’T TELLING THE WHOLE STORY North Texas real estate is changing—and if you’re making decisions based only on the headlines, you may be missing what’s really happening.Across 44 North Texas markets, closed sales fell 7% compared with August 2025, and sales were down in 29 of the 44 areas surveyed. Yet the average sales price actually rose 1.2%. How can sales fall while average prices rise?That’s exactly why we need to look beyond the averages.In this episode, I break down what’s happening in McKinney, Plano, Prosper, Princeton, Celina, Frisco and other North Texas communities, including the impact of affordability, inventory, higher-end sales, builder competition, concessions, and changing buyer behavior. After 34 years in real estate, one thing I know for certain: the market you remember isn’t necessarily the market you’re in today.Whether you’re buying, selling, downsizing, or protecting the equity you’ve spent years building, understanding the story behind the numbers matters.

    Is Now The Best Time To Buy Or Sell A Home (You May Be Surprised)?

    IS NOW THE BEST TIME TO BUY IR SELL A HOME? Could this fall be your best opportunity to make a move? Even with mortgage rates creating affordability challenges, the fall market can bring some real advantages for buyers: more homes to choose from, less competition, more negotiating room, and prices that have eased from their summer peak. Realtor.com identifies September 27th to October 3rd as the nation’s best week to buy in 2026, but the opportunity doesn’t end there—many markets (like in North Texas) see favorable buyer conditions throughout October.  If buying or selling is on your mind, understanding what’s happening in our local market matters more than trying to perfectly time the headlines. I’m Jim Mazziotti, REALTOR® and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), living and working in the Del Webb at Trinity Falls community in Mckinney, Texas. Let’s talk about whether this fall makes sense for you.
