Walks with Mom
Aging is not for the faint of heart.
I’m Kim, a proud Generation Xer, and I’m here with my Baby Boomer mom, Karren. Together, we tackle the tough—but necessary—conversations, share the hilarious (and sometimes embarrassing) moments, and open up about the stories that truly touch the heart.
Come with us as we explore what it means to navigate these years with our aging loved ones.
This is Karren, and I just want to say thank you for spending this time with us. Please come back for more laughs, more connection, and more real-life moments.
You’re always welcome, and I hope something from today stays with you as you travel through your own life story.
So grab a cup of coffee—or maybe a glass of wine—invite your friends or family, and join us for Walks with Mom.
Walks with Mom
Three Types of People in Aging—Which Are You? Part 1 of 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Walks with Mom, the conversation explores the different types of people encountered throughout the aging journey—and why no two experiences look the same. The Wise, the Foolish and the Simple.
Wise: A. There is wise and there is wise. Financial advisor would say. But I have decided to put some investment in my grandchildren’s college education.
Foolish: Think that the next doctor will take care of any medical problems and I will be fine and as fit as ever. Or that they have, so let’s not worry about my diet or about any exercise.
Simple: Only hear part of what the doctor or other advisors say. Are okay if they don’t fully understand.
Listeners are invited to reflect on an important question: which type are you, and which type are you becoming as you age?
From fiercely independent seniors to those who embrace support, the episode shares real-life examples that highlight how personality, mindset, and family dynamics shape the senior experience.
With insight from the senior industry, this discussion sheds light on patterns many don’t recognize until they are living them firsthand.
At its core, the episode emphasizes one meaningful truth—investing in family matters. The choices made today influence future relationships, care, and connection. This episode offers thoughtful perspective, practical insight, and encouragement to approach aging with intention, awareness, and compassion.
Come with us as we explore what it means to navigate these years with our aging loved ones.
