Today, I’m talking to Linda Fodrini-Johnson. Linda has been a Geriatric Care Manager and Aging Life Care Expert for nearly 40 years. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified care manager, Linda works to help families avoid potholes and misinformation and find peace in the course of family caregiving.

In her book, The Empowered Caregiver, she provides adult children of aging parents with ideas, lists, scripts for touchy conversations, critical questions for doctors and lawyers, and other resources collected over the course of her career.

In our conversation, Linda and I discuss how her own struggles with aging parents and caregiving transformed her life and career, how to destress your life as your parents get older, and her valuable insights on how to deal with a parent that is suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia.
