In this episode of Mind Your Nest, host Jennifer H. Rosen explores how to approach difficult family conversations about aging parents, health changes, finances, and inheritance with honesty and compassion. From navigating sensitive discussions after hospitalizations or major life transitions to understanding family dynamics in blended families, Jennifer shares real life insights on when and how to start these talks.

She reflects on her own family experiences and offers guidance on addressing fears around being perceived as greedy, managing emotional reactions, and balancing curiosity with respect. This episode also examines the realities of inheritance expectations, the importance of advanced planning, and what happens when parents are unprepared or unwilling to share information.

Listeners are encouraged to lead with love, ask thoughtful questions, offer help without judgment, and forgive themselves along the way. If you are struggling with how to talk to your parents or siblings about money, health, or end of life planning, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and reassurance that doing the next right thing truly matters.
