Tune into the podcast that aims to make the tough but important conversations with parents and aging loved ones a little easier. Because talking with them now about topics from downsizing and caregiving to finances and final wishes could save everyone stress later. Straightforward, reliable resources for Gen X and Millennials have been hard to find, so I decided to create one. I’m no expert on this subject, but I’m popping on my reporter cap to find experts to give good guidance on retirement planning, health proxies, grief and more. So… how’s your Boomer?

    Embrace the Gray Monster

    By 2030, all Boomers will be 65+ — for Gen X and Millennials that means if you haven’t done some caregiving for a parent yet, you soon. It's one of the reasons why I started How's Your Boomer? but finding my people out there has been slow going. So I was thrilled when I came across Gray Monster a smart, cheeky, free newsletter that’s geared towards supporting folks, supporting their folks as they age, founded by Kim Elliott. Drop in to learn more about Gray Monster and how we can all do better for caregivers and those they care for.

    Hospital "Go Bag" for Boomers

    Should your Boomer have a hospital "go bag" packed and at the ready? Probably. Older adults (average age 77) account for 70% of all ER to hospital admissions. We connected with Dr. Stephanie Mueller, MD, MPH, to talk about how to prepare for an unexpected-yet-(kindof)-expected hospital stay. https://howsyourboomer.substack.com/publish/post/191278563
