Can you honestly say that you are #1 in your field? That every day you show up to Play Big and make an impact? Well for a lot of us, me included, sometimes we don't think playing big is even possible. You might feel the same way as a lot of women do, once you started a family pushing yourself to achieve the epitome of greatness in your career kind of fell down a few notches on your list of "to dos." Many of you might be dealing with a major obstacle in life that as stopped you in your tracks and you don't know how to pick yourself up and regain the energy and drive to push forward. All of that is completely normal and very common. That is why we invited Sharon Lechter to join the conversation today. Not only does Sharon have an impressive resume in the field of finances and mentorship she, like many of you is reigniting her fire after dealing with tragic heartbreak. Her Play Big movement will hopefully inspire you too.

A great mother's days gift is to reassure the mom in your life that she will be financially ok as she gets older. That when the time comes to consider a senior living community, assisted living or nursing home everything will be taken care of without worry. Taking on the responsibility as a caregiver to my parents is honestly something that terrifies me. I know I am not alone. We all want to care for our parents as well as they cared for us. That is why this week we are dedicating time to weed through the horror stories we've all heard. Why are some seniors "kicked out" of their care facility? Why is it a struggle for seniors to get Medicare/Medicaid to help pay for the cost? Why are seniors who have worked so hard their entire lives left with nothing and unable to pay for the care they need? Eder Law Attorney at Harris Beach Lisa Powers is here to walk us through the important things that we need to know. Also joining the conversation are listeners Lori Viola and Lloyd Ruffle who have both been through it. They share their stories and personal experience. Teaching us the valuable lessons they learned through the process. We hope this episode gives you some clarity and peace of mind. Our plan is to have Lisa come back in once a month to answers all your questions.
