Somewhere along the way, most of us picked up the same story about aging. It goes like this: you peak, and then everything is a slow slide downhill. Your knees, your memory, your energy, all of it headed one direction. Here’s the thing. That story is wrong. And now we have the research to prove
Today my mom turns 90 years old, and I am sitting here trying to wrap my head around everything that number holds. Think about it. She was born in 1936 in rural Star City, Arkansas, back when the world hadn’t even heard of television yet. Ninety years is not just a long life. It’s practically
Celebrating Mom When the World Feels Out of Reach Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and for many of us, it looks a little different than the brunches and flower deliveries we grew up with. When your loved one has mobility issues, chronic illness, or other health challenges that keep them homebound — or when they’re
We had a bit of a scare last week. Mom came down with stomach and digestive issues early in the week, which left her not wanting to eat, and swallowing became painful. The nurses gave her stronger pain medication to help, but it hit her hard. She became disoriented, confused, withdrawn, and was sleeping very
Recently, I had the opportunity to be a guest on the AI Powered Caregiving podcast to talk about something most families avoid until they can’t anymore: Is your home truly ready for you as you age? As a Senior Home Coach™ and Realtor®, I don’t just sell houses. I help older adults and their families
I’m doing something a little bold. I’m removing at least one item every single day from my house until I hit 3,000 followers on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Yes, 3,000. Why that number? Because my friend Todd Emerick, moving expert and former guest on my podcast, says the average American household has 3,000+ items inside
With the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie drawing national attention, many families are quietly asking themselves a difficult question: “Would I know if my parent was no longer safe living independently?” It’s a hard thing to even consider. No one wants to believe their capable, strong, independent parent might be at risk. But stories like this
Mom has been receiving hospice services for a few weeks now, and from my seat, it’s going really well. Mom, on the other hand, feels like they are there too much and paying too much attention to her. I actually like it for those very reasons. The extra set of medical eyes on her each
Recently, I had the privilege of being featured on “Empowering Seniors” with America’s Senior Home Coach Katherine Ambrose on PBS Kansas to talk about something that has become deeply personal to me: empowering seniors through education, conversation, and yes, podcasting. This segment was not about real estate. It was about something bigger. It was about
I want to add some important clarity here because increasing level of care is actually a really good update. Mom is doing great. Truly. She is thriving in the Residential Care Home where she lives, and I am deeply grateful for that every single day. The environment, the consistency, the care, the people… it’s been
Yes, fun still counts. And no, it doesn’t require a stroller. If you live in Dallas–Fort Worth long enough, you earn the right to skip lines, park closer, and choose experiences that actually feel good. Loud for the sake of loud? Hard pass. Fun with flavor, culture, and good conversation? Absolutely. Here are five of
If you feel like scams are getting harder to spot, you’re not imagining it. Technology has made communication faster and easier but it has also made fraud more sophisticated. Today’s phishing scams are not just badly written emails with obvious red flags. Many are polished, personalized, and emotionally manipulative. Some are now being helped along
