Acerca de esta escucha
"Mom and Dad need help with all their stuff, and honestly, I'm getting worn out trying to help them."
When seniors are downsizing from the house they've been in for over 50 years, it can be overwhelming. Repeatedly we hear: "I don't know where to start." Often there are tears. They need help dealing with all the stuff - whether it is the stuff in their home or the emotional stuff they are faced with.
Boomer kids are looking for direction too. "Why won't Mom do what I want?", and "My brother won't help me." The popular line: "We're going to get a dumpster."
Transitions is a monthly column to guide seniors and their children through these changes. It is about the emotion and the commotion of making the transition. With ideas for both generations, the goal is to coach, encourage, and guide folks through the process.
This is a collection of 50 of those columns. The stories often aren't just one person's story. If they feel familiar, it is because there are many of us sharing the same challenges. You aren't alone.

The Long Run begins with the story of Ben Andrews and his quest to become one of America's top milers, a quest that starts strongly, but seems doomed when he later faces obstacle after obstacle, not the least of which are his own fears and insecurities. Ben often finds that his dreams–both athletically and later in business–seem just beyond his reach. But each time he is ready to quit, an unlikely mentor comes his way to tell him "not yet".

You got into real estate because you wanted flexibility, freedom, and a big upside. Instead, you’re working 24/7, freedom is the last thing you feel, and every dollar is a struggle.

Join the growing ranks of full-fee agents who are charging their worth and reclaiming their lives. The Full Fee Agent is a proven blueprint for getting more business and, more importantly, doing business in a better way.

In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long—in an effort to be a selfless mother—had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does?

Most organizational books on the market profess to have a one-size-fits-all solution to home organization. Common anthems are to: go paperless, get rid of everything that doesn't spark joy, and capsulize your wardrobe. While some find success using these methods, the majority of American women are facing decades of delayed decisions piled high in unmarked boxes and shoved in storage rooms bursting at the seams. Fifteen-minute-a-day organization tips and color coordinated plastic boxes are no match for the memories and clutter contained in those rooms.
