"What Happens When the Wrong Child Ends Up in Charge?"

Families often assume things will work themselves out.

Until they don't.

When aging, illness, caregiving responsibilities, financial decisions, or incapacity enter the picture, long-standing family dynamics can quickly become very real. The child who always steps up. The sibling who disappears. The parent who refuses help. The conflicts nobody saw coming.

In this episode, we explore: ▪️ Caregiving and sibling dynamics ▪️ Powers of attorney and decision-making authority ▪️ Financial abuse and manipulation warning signs ▪️ Why inheritance disputes are rarely just about money ▪️ How families can have difficult conversations before a crisis occurs ▪️ What healthy planning actually looks like beyond the documents

This podcast was created because we believe some of life's most important conversations deserve more attention. Estate planning, aging, family relationships, caregiving, grief, legacy, and life's transitions affect all of us, yet many people feel like they're navigating them alone.

Our goal is simple: create a space where these conversations feel approachable, honest, and human.
