61: Pre-Plan for Caregiving Needs with Special Guest Mim Senft

from Take Back Retirement · host Stephanie McCullough, Kevin Gaines, Mim Senft

Today, we sit down with Mim Senft, author, keynote speaker, and facilitator for national conferences. She is the Co-Founder and Managing Director at Motivity Care, a company that takes the complexity out of caregiving management by providing personalized "chief of staff" support. Mim has over 25 years of corporate experience in project management, benefits design, and health and wellbeing program strategy and implementation. She holds certifications in group benefits, worksite wellness and property casualty insurance. Listen in as Mim shares her journey in the elder care space⁠ or, as she calls it, the "silver economy." She dives deep into the critical, yet commonly-overlooked steps needed to prepare for an individual's caregiving needs⁠—and how Motivity Care streamlines the entire process. Mim discusses the huge amounts of time and money lost by family members who unexpectedly have to take on the role of caregiver—and it's always unexpected! She speaks on the value of a reciprocal "care partner" relationship and how anyone can begin laying the foundation for their own caregiving needs right now!
