What's the biggest difference between a senior and a young person selling their home? Lori Williams sat down with Tricia Spurrier, a Real Estate Agent specialized in senior transition to discuss the facts, fears and processes that seniors face when it's time to "move on".

Tricia, who has been working in the senior world for over 20 years, reveals the bigger obstacles that seniors face when a home has become too much to manage, and shares her tips for the adult children going through the process of helping parents get 'unstuck' from their stuff. In this episode, Tricia also shares what to do when your home represents your life, and how the power of language can help shift seniors' emotional connection to the home and help them move forward. 

Takeaways from this episode:

-There are now more housing options for seniors than back in the 70s, and they offer different ways to improve seniors' quality of life.

-The overwhelming fear of the unknown is one of the biggest deterrents for people when it comes to 'rightsizing'.
