WHO THIS WEBINAR IS FOR

This Webinar Is For You If:

  • You’re an empty nester supporting aging parents financially or emotionally
  • You’re helping with bills, housing, healthcare, or caregiving decisions
  • You feel pulled between being a good child and protecting your future
  • Family conversations feel tense, unclear, or emotionally loaded
  • You want to help without quietly sacrificing your retirement

This Webinar Is Not For:

  • Anyone looking for medical or legal advice
  • Families unwilling to have honest conversations
  • People who want emotional support without financial clarity
  • Those expecting a one-size-fits-all solution

When Parents Age, Roles Reverse — And Everything Gets Complicated

It often starts with something small.

A bill you help pay.
A medical decision you help make.
A conversation you didn’t expect to be the one leading.

Before you know it, you’re balancing:

  • Your parents’ needs
  • Your own retirement plans
  • Sibling dynamics
  • Emotional stress you never planned for

Most empty nesters aren’t struggling with wanting to help — they’re struggling with how much, how long, and at what cost.

This webinar exists to help you find clarity before guilt, resentment, or financial stress sets in.

What You’ll Gain From This Session

After this webinar, you’ll have:

  • A clear framework for supporting aging parents without harming your own future
  • Confidence in making financial caregiving decisions (even when emotions run high)
  • Tools to balance generosity, boundaries, and sustainability
  • A way to evaluate when to step in — and when to step back
  • Language for having calmer, clearer family conversations
  • Peace of mind that you’re helping intentionally, not reactively

A Clear Way to Support Your Parents — Without Burning Out or Breaking Your Plan

Caring for aging parents doesn’t have to mean financial confusion, emotional overload, or constant second-guessing.

In this webinar, you’ll learn a practical, repeatable decision-making framework that helps you:

  • Understand the true financial impact of caregiving
  • Set boundaries without guilt or conflict
  • Balance compassion with long-term retirement security
  • Make decisions that reduce stress instead of creating more
  • Turn caregiving into a sustainable family system — not a crisis
