Engaging and honest

Rick and Clancy do a great job at capturing the good, the hard, and the unknown of their new life stage. They are a fun and engaging couple to listen to, as they invite us into this journey. The episode on "Role Reversal" is especially relatable for many who are shifting their energy from caring for children to caring for aging parents.
