In this episode, Dr. Corinne Auman sits down with George Fuller, founder of Fuller Life Navigating and author of Life Compass Living, who served as lead caregiver for all four of his and his wife's parents through the end of life and learned that most of the crises we dread are actually predictable. George calls these predictable transitions life quakes, and he shows keenagers how a plan and the right conversations can soften nearly every one of them. You will learn his simple framework of facts, power, and ability, why hope is not a plan, and how to build a family of choice you can genuinely count on. George also opens up about honoring his father's wishes through Alzheimer's, why relationships matter more than money, and how every small step toward planning leaves you better off. It is an honest, practical, and reassuring conversation about showing up for the people you love before a crisis forces the question.
