When Life Asks you to Recalibrate

from Boomer Banter, Real Talk about Aging Well

After six years of weekly episodes, host Wendy Green shares an honest, vulnerable update about stepping back from the podcast's regular rhythm. In this solo episode, Wendy talks about what it's really like to become a primary caregiver for her mother—not just the practical challenges, but the emotional recalibration, the identity shift, and the hard choices about where to focus limited time and energy.This isn't a goodbye. It's a recalibration."We're all in transition. You're aging. I'm aging. Some of us are caregiving. Some of us are grieving. Some of us are just trying to figure out how to hold onto who we are while everything around us changes."Wendy will continue to release episodes when she meets guests with particularly relevant insights or when she has the bandwidth to record meaningful solo content. Episodes will no longer follow a weekly schedule, but will be released when there's something real to share.Substack: Thriving Through Time Wendy is writing regularly about her caregiving journey, purpose, health, and connection as we age.
