What happens when the roles reverse and you find yourself parenting your parents?
In this episode, Lauren Bernick sits down with Kim Barnes, co-founder of Parenting Aging Parents, to talk about the challenges and unexpected realities of caregiving. They dig into how to start tough conversations before a crisis hits, the truth about long-term care insurance, what you really need to know about Medicare and Medicaid, and why community support is a lifeline for caregivers.
They also explore dementia, the hidden risks of certain medications, and why caregivers must prioritize their own health if they want to show up fully for their loved ones.
If you’re navigating this season, or know it’s coming, this conversation is packed with insights and practical wisdom you won’t want to miss.
