I’m with Margo Tucker, the founder and president of Tucker Senior Life Care and the author of Aging Guidebooks. For over 30 years, Margo has been a leader in the care management field—helping families navigate the healthcare system, access local resources, and advocate for their loved ones.

Her work is deeply personal and profoundly impactful, offering guidance, education, and emotional support to families facing some of life’s most vulnerable transitions.

Today, Margo is here to talk about her Traitor Within—the internal voice that creeps in during moments of doubt, and how she found strength not just in caring for others, but in turning inward and healing herself.
