Today, I’m talking to Marie-Therese Connolly. MT Connolly is a lawyer working in the courts and in Congress to tackle an ongoing and fundamental issue of elder abuse–both physical and psychological–as well as financial exploitation and wrongful deprivation of rights.  She was instrumental in architecting the federal Elder Justice Act. She also founded the DoJ’s Elder Justice Initiative and authored the Elder Justice Roadmap.  In her book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she addresses the challenges of aging, how things go wrong, and offers powerful tools we can use to forge better and healthier lives for ourselves, our families, and our communities. In today’s conversation, MT and I discussed how we can protect our parents and grandparents, what our culture teaches us about aging (and conversely, what aging teaches us), and why it’s a great time to get old–even though our support systems appear to be broken.  GET A FREE ACCESS TO MT CONNOLLY’S BOOK TITLED, THE MEASURE OF OUR AGE: NAVIGATING CARE, SAFETY, MONEY AND MEANING LATER IN LIFE Here's all you have to do...

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why elder abuse has been a longstanding problem in our society and our world.  How we as people underestimate the power of aging and its challenges.  What happened as MT fought for the Elder Justice Act, what went wrong, and what she’s optimistic about. Why so many people don’t realize how many resources they need to cover long-term care, to stay in their homes, or get other support they might need.  How to evaluate retirement communities and care homes. The common risks of families taking on caregiving. Why old and young people are meant to spend time together and learn from one another.  The special challenges facing solo and childless retirees–and the importance of building community.  How to protect yourself and your loved ones from financial exploitation.  Also, our Market Outlook Webinar is coming soon!

Today, I’m speaking with Krista St-Germain. Krista is a Master Certified Life Coach, grief expert, and host of the Widowed Mom Podcast, where she specializes in helping widows move forward and love their life again. When her husband was killed by a drunk driver just 3 ½ months after their wedding, her life was flipped upside down. As she worked through her loss, she realized that she can leverage her loss to make her life better and has helped others do the same. Her Moms Go On program has given hundreds of widowed moms the tools they need to create futures they can get excited about. In today’s conversation, we dig into the biggest reasons people avoid talking about grief, the magic that can be found in post-traumatic growth and how grief doesn’t always work in the 5 stages that we’ve always heard about.  GET A FREE ACCESS TO KRISTA’S ONLINE WIDOW GRIEF COURSE Here's all you have to do... Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. Step 2.) Text the word GRIEF to 866-482-9559 and we’ll make sure you get signed up for free. It’s that simple! In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why grief is so much more than just the feeling of bereavement.  How traumatic loss gives us the power to redefine our lives, find new meaning, and live more authentically. Why Krista believes that the five stages of grief (DABDA) has become outdated, and what it means to truly and authentically navigate grief and the ways it affects our lives. What Krista would’ve done differently to prepare for traumatic loss. How to rethink our relationship to money as we navigate grief.  What–and what not–to say to people who have lost loved ones.  Show Notes: RetireWithPurpose.com/413 Rate & Review the Podcast: RetireWithPurpose.com/review Sign Up to Casey's Weekend Reading Email!
