It's a familiar scene: supporting aging parents. And it's one of the most emotional - and often overwhelming transitions many women face in midlife.

In this episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Laura Tamblyn Watts - CEO of CanAge, Canada’s national seniors’ advocacy organization, elder law lawyer, and author of the book Let’s Talk About Aging Parents - to explore how families can approach caregiving conversations with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.

They discuss the realities of the sandwich generation, the emotional shift of role reversal, and what can happen when difficult conversations are delayed. Laura also shares insights from her legal and advocacy work supporting older adults and their families.

While healthcare systems may differ between Canada and the U.S., many family challenges are universal - including guilt, sibling dynamics, timing decisions, and preparing for later-life transitions.

This conversation offers practical guidance and emotional reassurance for women balancing their own life changes while supporting aging parents.
