Planning for aging parents is hard. It’s even harder when there’s no financial safety net.

In this episode, Dr. Jay and Bri walk through the real-life challenges of supporting parents who may not have the means—or the plan—for their long-term care. From boundaries and Medicaid to power of attorney, family dynamics, and even “granny pods,” they share strategies that help childfree adults show up for their family without losing themselves in the process.

We'll cover:
- How to approach difficult conversations with empathy (and honesty)
- What documents matter—and how to access or create them
- The difference between helping and overextending yourself
- What long-term care might really cost you
- Smart ways to support without going broke
