Aging is a stage of life that many of us are either confronting personally or experiencing through the eyes of loved ones. Discussing it can be uncomfortable and overwhelming, especially when there is some resistance or hostility toward extra care as you or your loved one gets older.

In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Caregiving Corner CEO Jennifer Szakaly shares practical and compassionate advice for families navigating aging and caregiving. It's the audio of a webinar held in April 2025 by The Charlotte Ledger and Caregiving Corner, which provides care management and counseling services for older adults and their families.

Szakaly talks with Ledger managing editor Cristina Bolling about practical strategies to help families prepare for the aging journey with less stress and more support.
