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?

  • Embrace the Gray Monster

    Embrace the Gray Monster
    Mar 31 2026

    By 2030, all Boomers will be 65+ — for Gen X and Millennials that means if you haven’t done some caregiving for a parent yet, you soon. It's one of the reasons why I started How's Your Boomer? but finding my people out there has been slow going. So I was thrilled when I came across Gray Monster a smart, cheeky, free newsletter that’s geared towards supporting folks, supporting their folks as they age, founded by Kim Elliot. Drop in to learn more about Gray Monster and how we can all do better for caregivers and those they care for.

  • Hospital "Go Bag" for Boomers

    Hospital "Go Bag" for Boomers
    Mar 18 2026

    Should your Boomer have a hospital "go bag" packed and at the ready? Probably. Older adults (average age 77) account for 70% of all ER to hospital admissions. We connected with Dr. Stephanie Mueller, MD, MPH, to talk about how to prepare for an unexpected-yet-(kindof)-expected hospital stay.

  • Passing the Caregiving Baton

    Passing the Caregiving Baton
    Mar 6 2026

    Tune in for my chat with Barry Jacobs, clinical psychologist, author, healthcare consultant, and family caregiving expert. He’s also a Boomer so I tapped him for his take on how Gen X and Millennials can prepare as the caregiving baton is passed from Boomers to us (if you aren’t already in the race).
