In this episode, Sara sits down with Senior Care Advisor and Executive Coach Amy Spring to explore the multifaceted journey of aging and senior care. Amy shares her expertise on the practical, emotional, and social dynamics that families encounter as loved ones grow older, from navigating healthcare to preserving independence and dignity. They discuss the unique challenges of the “sandwich generation,” where many adults today juggle care for both their children and aging parents—often without a clear roadmap. Amy emphasizes the importance of open, ongoing conversations around aging and the need for proactive preparations, including contingency plans to honor loved ones’ desires should circumstances change. Together, Sara and Amy offer invaluable insights to help families approach this journey with respect, love, and peace of mind.
