The In-Between Years: Aging Parents and the Conversations We Try to Avoid
Caregiving doesn't come with instructions, and no one's ever fully prepared to manage aging parents, unexpected transitions, and complex end-of-life decisions. Whether you've been thrust into caregiving overnight or are just beginning to ask hard questions, you're not alone. Brought to you by the experts at Krause Agency, The In-Between Years brings you real, respectful conversations with caregivers, professionals, and those navigating the elder care, grief, and long-term care planning. We'll share stories, explore "what now?" moments, and answer questions like:
- What do we wish we’d talked about sooner?
- What advice do we have for those just stepping into caregiving?
- What’s changing in elder care, and how can we prepare?
All stories are told with care, privacy, and dignity in mind, because these are sensitive moments that matter.
Episodes are only 20 minutes long—tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

The Importance of Planning Ahead with Attorney Dale Krause, J.D., LL.M.
In the first episode of The In-Between Years, Holly Westervelt sits down with Attorney Dale Krause. Dale is an experienced estate planning and elder law attorney, but still faced the issue so many other listeners do—his mom required long-term care without having a plan in place. Listen to Dale detail his experience as he and his siblings navigated his mom's caregiving plan and faced tough decisions like moving cities and selling her home. Dale also provides key insights as an attorney in the estate planning space, including why he believes every family should have a long-term care plan in place and how the future of long-term care needs may shift as Baby Boomers age.
