The Angie Graham Podcast
You’re in healthcare - but no one told you it would feel like this.
The award winning Angie Graham Podcast is where real conversations replace red tape. If you're a young professional trying to lead, care, and stay sane in this industry, an established leader looking for something new when all the old tricks are no longer working or just need a place that talks about you because it's about you , you're in the right place.
We talk senior living, healthcare and leadership, and what it really means to care - for others and yourself.
No spin. No scripts...sometimes. Just the truth behind the systems - and how YOU can make them better.

Downsizing Without Losing the Stories with Matt Paxton
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Big moves create big stress, especially when the move is into senior care. In this episode, Matt Paxton (Clutter Cleaner, Filthy Fortunes) shares a simple, repeatable plan to downsize without crushing the family. Matt’s first step is clarity: pick where you’re going and set the deadline. Then make a “legacy list” of five items, the pieces that hold the stories you want to keep. After that, choose your real must-haves based on space, not guilt (sometimes buying new costs less than moving old).
From there, it’s the hard part: the other 95% of the house. Matt walks through fast ways to check value (Google Lens, eBay sold listings), where items sell best (local vs online), and why “family heirlooms” like dining room sets and china often have zero market now. He also shares practical tactics for pre-sorting photos and paper, plus what to do if a loved one keeps collecting in a smaller senior living apartment.
