Downsizing our aging parents: No, you aren't parenting your parents. But it does come with a lot of important questions, like: 1. Is my loved one safe at home? If not, how can we make it safe?  2. How do you move a lifetime into a smaller space?  3. What should stay, what should go, and who makes that call?  4. How much does this cost?  5. When should we start talking about it and what should we say? Listen to this entertaining conversation with our Laura Olivares and Lara DiPaola, and the team at the Midlife Sh#t Show!
