Before You Build a Multi-Gen ADU: The Family Conversations That Come First


Listen Later

Thinking about a multi-generational home or adding an ADU but not sure where to start?

In this episode, Juli shares why the most important first step isn’t design, permits, or construction - it’s having the right family conversations.

Inspired by an email from a 73-year-old listener asking for help getting started with her family’s Multi-Gen Home, Juli walks through how to begin talking about multi-generational living with clarity and care, and shares practical conversation prompts around money, privacy, and boundaries.

You’ll learn:

  • Why uncertainty is a normal starting point
  • How to begin multi-generational living conversations
  • How to talk about money and shared expenses
  • How to discuss privacy, independence, and boundaries
  • What’s inside Juli’s Multi-Gen Family Toolkit
