About this listen

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

    My favorite vet-on-speed-dial (and dear pal) Dr. Kate Wissel, DVM, believes that everyone, no matter their situation, can benefit greatly from a human-animal bond. Pets can help decrease stress and loneliness, elevate mood and provide purpose. But, there’s different criteria for older pet lovers to consider before welcoming Rover into their life.

    Tonight's Menu: Discussions on Dying
    Jan 15 2026

    We’ve not shied away from heavy topics (finances, family dynamics, grief) on How's Your Boomer? But today's episode with Angel Grant on honoring end-of-life wishes is the weightiest one yet. True to her name, Angel, co-founder of Death Over Dinner, brought light and a gentle touch to one dense topic.
