Ep.4 - The Day You Realize You're the Parent Now

This week on The Brazen Maven Society, Gabriela Brown and Sasha Travassos discuss the challenges of parenting aging parents, highlighting the emotional and practical aspects. Gabriela shares her experience with her father's decline, noting signs like physical deterioration and home neglect. They emphasize the importance of early intervention and professional support, such as geriatric care managers and home health services. Statistics reveal that 23-29% of U.S. adults care for both children and aging parents, often during their peak career years. They stress the need for advanced planning, including powers of attorney and financial preparations, to ease the caregiving burden. The next podcast will delve into senior care options and financing.
