As our parents age, we are often faced with challenges we had no idea we needed to be prepared for. We feel confused, sad and consumed all at once as we try to navigate all the ups and downs of this time of life.

Today’s guest, Lori Williams, is an expert in the area of senior living. Having seen first hand the difficulties encountered with getting the services her grandmother needed, she turned that experience into a career direction.

Today’s episode covers her entrepreneurial journey into Senior Services along with her adoption journey and encouragement for our daily challenges.

Key Ideas:

Never be afraid to try new things

Get creative with how you “work around” possible limitations
