Starting the downsizing process is hard—but talking to your adult children about it can feel even harder. What if they resist? What if they worry you’re sick? Or worse, what if they avoid the conversation altogether?

In this episode of the Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we walk you through exactly how to have honest, calm, and proactive conversations with your adult kids about downsizing— before an emergency forces your hand.

We cover:

• How to start the conversation without alarming your family
• What to say when you have more than one child
• What to do if your kids are out of state—or not offering help
• Scripts and mindset shifts to guide the dialogue
• What success looks like: peace of mind, mutual understanding, and a lighter future

Whether you're ready to move next year or just beginning to think about it, this conversation is one of the most important steps you can take to simplify your next chapter—and protect your kids from unnecessary stress.

🎧 Listen now and get the words, wisdom, and confidence to start the conversation.
