    Downsizing With A Heart with The Furniture Bank of Central Ohio

    Whether you’re anticipating a move, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for ways to give back, this conversation is filled with practical tips, community resources, and inspiring stories about how ordinary items can turn a house into a home of hope. Welcome to "Looking Forward Our Way." In this episode, hosts Brett Johnson and Carol Ventresca discuss the sometimes daunting topic of downsizing, a reality many of us face when life changes require a new living situation. Packing, moving, and deciding what to do with cherished possessions can be overwhelming, but there’s a compassionate alternative you might not know about. Joining them is Phil Washburn, President and CEO of The Furniture Bank of Central Ohio. Phil shares insights into "Downsizing with a Heart," a social enterprise program designed to ease the transition by handling donations and disposal, all while funding the Furniture Bank’s mission to help families in need. Together, they unravel the emotional and logistical challenges of downsizing and highlight the impact of furniture donations—not just on donors, but also on thousands of families rebuilding their lives. You'll hear wisdom, compassion, and actionable advice from the heart of Central Ohio’s nonprofit community. If you like this episode, please let us know.

Every donation helps local families in transition and keeps furniture out of landfills, giving your household items a second life.Planning Ahead Reduces Stress: The best advice? Start early!

    Property Taxes In The News Again And Again

    Brett and Carol sit down with Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano for an in-depth conversation about the property tax process, skyrocketing home values, and the upcoming triennial property value update. As property tax concerns reach new heights alongside rapidly rising home valuations, Auditor Stinziano brings much-needed clarity on what his office does—and doesn’t do—when it comes to taxes. Together, they break down the history of Ohio’s property tax system, the recent legislative efforts for relief, and practical steps homeowners can take to ensure their property values are accurate. Learn how property taxes fund essential community services, what changes may be coming, and how you can prepare for the next round of assessments. Whether you’re a longtime homeowner or just curious about local government, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. 3 Key Takeaways: You Can Impact Your Property Valuation: Homeowners should review their property record card for errors in square footage, bath count, or features. Corrections can mean more accurate—and sometimes lower—property taxes.Recent (and Upcoming) Legislative Changes: Four new property tax relief bills have been passed, mainly increasing the owner-occupied tax credit. However, not all proposals (like modernizing the homestead exemption) have been enacted. So staying informed and voicing your support matters.Resources to Prepare and Appeal: Franklin County’s "Know Your Home Value" website is a one-stop shop for homeowners to preview tentative values, review comparable sales, and estimate the impact of new levies. If you believe your assessment is off, informal and formal appeal avenues are available. If you like this episode, please let us know.

    From Back Pain to Balance: Building Resilient Health with Dr. Coffman

    Healthy aging isn’t just about years—it's about living well NOW to enjoy vibrant decades ahead! Or as we jokingly say in this episode, "two-steppin' your way to better health!" We had the pleasure of featuring Dr. Jacob Coffman of Optimize Chiropractic. The conversation isn’t just about pain relief; it’s about mastering mobility, building healthspan, and making sustainable changes for the long run. Here are our top 3 takeaways: Healthspan should MATCH lifespan: Don’t just aim to live longer; aim to maximize the years you’re strong, mobile, and active. Dr. Coffman highlights that the average person spends about 12 years in poor health—let’s reduce that gap!Personalization is key: One-size-fits-all care doesn’t exist. Whether it’s strength training, lifestyle tweaks, or balancing work/life demands, effective plans are tailored to each person’s goals and realities.It’s never too late to start: No matter your age or starting point, small, consistent steps—like upping your daily steps, increasing fiber, or focusing on balance—can lead to meaningful improvement. We love Dr. Coffman's reminder that we should set realistic goals, move consistently, and fiercely protect our function as we age. Baby steps, done regularly, deliver big results!
