Being an only child has its perks. But life gets REAL as an ADULT only child when you fully grasp the prospect of having to balance your own life with sole responsibility for assisting your parents as they age. Caregiving can place strains on your family, career, and mental and physical health. Siblings can tackle this as a team. But as an only child, how will you handle the stress of bearing sole responsibility for financial decisions, hospital visits and/or emergencies of aging parents? Join me every two weeks to discuss ways to create and maintain a prosperous, healthy life for yourself while adequately preparing for your parents’ lives at retirement and beyond.

Episode 23 - Estate Planning Lessons We Can Learn from the Late Princess Diana
In this episode, we discuss a few estate planning lessons we can take away from the Late Princess Diana. This week, Oprah Winfrey's interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dominated the news and social media. During the conversation, Prince Harry mentioned that he is living off of the inheritance left for him by his mother, Princess Diana.
I researched some of the details of her estate plan and it's execution, and developed these takeaways based on what Princess Diana did well and what could have been better: 1) Have An Estate Plan 2) Have Your Estate Plan Created By Attorney/Lawyer Who Specializes In This Area and 3) Be Thoughtful About Who You Designate As The Executor And Trustee Of Your Will Or Trust -

Episode 22 - The Habit You Should Develop Now To Be Best Prepared To Care For Your Aging Parents In The Future
In this episode, I discuss the importance of developing the habit of prioritizing yourself in order to be the best caregiver possible to your aging parents when it's time to step into that role. I bust what I consider to be a myth about self-care and discuss what I kind to be a better way to define and practice it. In terms of how we go about developing this habit of self-prioritization, or self-care, I discuss the importance of starting small. To do this, I recommend the philosophy of and strategy defined in the book "The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results" by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan.

Very Informative and Relatable
I am not an only child. However, I am the sibling who has been responsible for my parents care, since I can remember. This Podcast was so informative and relatable. The lessons learned and guest speakers ensure a fresh dialogue and the content is interesting and helpful. This is a difficult and emotional topic to tackle while making the listener want to hear more but that’s exactly what Kim has done!
Parents of only children should listen!
I’m the mom of one son, and listening to her perspective as the child is a blueprint on what I need to do later in life.
Thanks!
Thanks for doing this. Being and only child with many only children friends, these topics are very relatable. I’ve only listened to a few of these so far, but can’t wait to be listen to the rest and upcoming topics. I often sit back and think about how other only children handle situations or if there’s commonality in our responses as a result of being an only child. Again, thank you for doing this and keep up the great work.
