What do you do when your parents are aging… and their house is full of a lifetime of memories, stories, and stuff?

In this episode of More AND Less, Allison Moore sits down with estate sale expert, reseller, and longtime friend Michelle Witteveen for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about navigating the sandwich generation — caring for aging parents while managing your own family, home, and season of life.

Michelle brings a rare and powerful perspective: she’s not only a seasoned estate sale shopper and reseller with a trained eye for hidden treasures, she’s also walking through this season personally as a daughter helping her parents navigate a house full of meaningful belongings.

Together, Allison and Michelle explore:

• What estate sales really are — and how they work
• How to spot value (and hidden gems) in a home full of “stuff”
• Why estate sales feel like therapy… with better souvenirs
• How to gently help aging parents downsize without hurting feelings
• Why hearing the story behind items matters more than the items themselves
• Practical, compassionate steps families can take before an estate sale is ever needed

Whether you’re curious about estate sales, interested in reselling or vintage finds, or quietly wondering what lies ahead as your parents get older, this conversation will help you approach it all with more clarity, more compassion, AND a lot less overwhelm.
