EP 130 - The Good, The Bad, The Messy: Family Dynamics with Aging Parents (LIVE with Madeleine, Katie & Dale)

Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast

Family dynamics can get… complicated — especially when senior care decisions enter the picture.
In this LIVE episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, Dale Corpus is joined by co-hosts Madeleine Fortich and Katie Perez to unpack the real-world messiness that families face when aging parents need more support.
We’re talking:
• What happens when siblings disagree about care?
• How to reduce guilt when placing a parent into senior living
• Power of Attorney drama
• Setting boundaries as the “default” caregiver
• And why fair isn’t always equal when it comes to caregiving
🧠 Plus: A rapid-fire “Fact or Fiction” segment that busts common myths about family responsibility, legal planning, and senior transitions.
Whether you’re the planner, the caregiver, or the sibling who lives out of state — this episode is for you.
