What if downsizing didn’t have to be overwhelming?

In this episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, I’m joined by Andriana Mendez, a Certified Senior Move Manager® and co-owner of Custom Moving Solutions—a Bay Area-based company helping older adults and families with downsizing, packing, moving, and full property cleanouts. She’s also the creator of Sensational Seniors™ Workshops, a powerful community education series helping seniors feel more in control during life transitions.

We talk about:

✅ How to downsize without feeling overwhelmed

✅ Why letting go of items is so emotional—and how to move forward

✅ The biggest mistakes families make during a senior move

✅ What to expect from a full-service senior move manager

✅ How her free workshops are changing lives

If your family is starting to think about moving or downsizing, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical strategies.
