    Rewire Or Retire?
    Apr 24 2026
    If you tried retirement and miss the challenges, community and purpose of work, you may be ready to try something new- become a entrepreneur! You have the skills, experience and desire so perhaps starting your own project or company is the next step.

    Our guest, Jannette Anderson, is no stranger to creating a business, and says age is not a barrier if you have the interest and support you need. Her company, Maturepreneur, fights ageism by helping older adults who are seeking the challenge and dream of business ownership.

    Love Will Keep Us Together: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
    Mar 13 2026
    Thousands of grandparents are raising their grandchildren in a full-time parenting role, even though we do not often think of them as “caregivers.” Many who expected a slower pace of life in their later years now find themselves stepping back into parenting because of a variety of family circumstances.

    Our guest, Cynthia Green of the Edgewood Kinship Program, explains why this is happening and how these grandparents are navigating the challenges and rewards of raising grandchildren today.

    If the words “estate planning” intimidate or bore you, you’re not alone. But estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or the elderly. It’s something everyone needs, at any age. Even if you feel like you don’t have enough assets to justify a plan, putting one in place ensures your wishes are honored and your voice is heard when it matters most.

    Estate planning attorney Howard Rosen breaks it down in plain, practical language and explains why there’s no better time than now to get started.

    Is Aging a Burden?
    Jan 16 2026

    What’s really behind that statement? Is it fear of losing independence, or discomfort with shifting roles between parents and adult children?

    Our guests unpack where this feeling comes from and share practical ways to support loved ones who may resist accepting help.
