How's Your Boomer?

About How's Your Boomer?

Tune into the podcast that aims to make the tough but important conversations with parents and aging loved ones a little easier. Because talking with them now about topics from downsizing and caregiving to finances and final wishes could save everyone stress later. Straightforward, reliable resources for Gen X and Millennials have been hard to find, so I decided to create one. I’m no expert on this subject, but I’m popping on my reporter cap to find experts to give good guidance on retirement planning, health proxies, grief and more. So… how’s your Boomer?
