  Episode 27 Planning for aging: Who Will Take Care of Us? Midlife Wake-Up Call

  Aug 16, 202630 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Faded to Fabulous, midlife experts Vicki Kirby and Kim Lovely focus on the “top of the sandwich” in the sandwich generation: aging parents—and the wake-up call it creates for planning our own futures. They stress being proactive before a crisis (like a fall) and share practical conversations to have early, including wills, living wills, healthcare proxies, account access, bill-paying, and clear wishes around long-term care. They discuss common barriers like resistance, fear, and cognitive decline, plus hard topics such as driving safety, complicated parent relationships, and caregiver stress. The hosts share cost realities for nursing homes, assisted living, and in-home care, explain Medicaid spend-down and the five-year look-back, and encourage boundaries about what adult children can realistically provide. 00:00 Proactive Care Talks 00:16 Podcast Welcome 01:36 Sandwich Generation Focus 02:44 Yuck and Yum 03:31 Online Criticism Stories 06:13 Aging Population Stats 07:21 Start the Hard Conversations 08:37 Key Planning Questions 09:26 Handling Parent Resistance 11:44 Small First Steps 13:45 Costs and Care Options 14:37 Home Care Reality Check 15:30 Medicare and Money Talk 15:44 Medicaid Spend-Down Rules 16:52 Planning Your Own Aging 17:11 Wills and Healthcare Proxies 18:12 Trusts and Power of Attorney 19:24 Retirement and Long-Term Care 21:31 Stubborn Parents and Decluttering 22:21 When Seniors Should Stop Driving 22:58 Dementia and Safety Decisions 26:11 Tough Family Dynamics 27:24 Setting Boundaries and Wrap-Up Support the show ✨ Join the Faded to Fabulous Community Support Our Mission!

  Episode 26: Smart, Savvy, and Starting Now! Money in Midlife

  Aug 2, 202629 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail On Faded to Fabulous, host interviews women’s financial coach and educator Pam Richardson about “Money in Midlife,” focusing on why many women feel fear and avoidance around finances at 50 as retirement approaches alongside responsibilities like children, aging parents, divorce, or sudden widowhood. Pam shares her personal money recovery story after overspending, debt, and multiple inheritances, and explains how shame and underlying emotions drive avoidance, including resistance to wills and estate planning. The conversation covers student loan burdens, the common fear of running out of money, and how money habits differ by personality. Pam advises younger women to protect themselves with “yours, mine, and ours” accounts and recommends regular “money dates,” open family discussions, and planning to balance future security with living now. She highlights financially confident behaviors: negotiating, assembling a financial “dream team,” tracking numbers, and learning from risks.

  Episode 24: Finding Yourself Again- One Adventure At A Time with Tracy Miller

  Jul 5, 202625 min

  Send us Fan Mail Finding Yourself Again One Adventure at a Time with Tracy Miller On this episode of Faded to Fabulous, Kim and Vicki interview holistic health and life coach Tracy Miller, founder of the Women’s Wellness Exchange and creator of Adventures Within. Tracy shares how she reinvented her work over 20 years and, during COVID after being laid off, began hosting nature-based retreats that emphasize safe, optional adventure for women—especially 50-plus—such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and whitewater rafting, plus travel experiences like France. She discusses common barriers women face, including busyness, guilt about leaving family, and fear of trying new activities, and stresses giving oneself permission and removing pressure. The conversation explores midlife identity shifts, grief and letting go, vulnerability, and using discomfort as a signal for growth, with Miller advising women to “shake things up,” seek silence, and create space through solo time or travel. She directs listeners to adventureswithin.us and mentions future trips and ideas like mother-daughter retreats and destinations such as Patagonia and Peru. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:29 Tracy’s Coaching Journey 02:27 Adventures Within Origins 03:52 Retreats and Safe Adventure 05:21 Barriers and Permission 09:29 Midlife Identity Shifts 13:51 Letting Go and Grief 17:38 Shake Things Up Reset 21:04 Solo Travel and Ripple Effects 22:41 How to Join and Closing To start your own adventure please visit: https://adventureswithin.us/ Support the show ✨ Join the Faded to Fabulous Community 💝 Support Us!

  Send us Fan Mail Swiping, Healing, Hoping: Dating After Divorce in Midlife In this “Faded to Fabulous” episode on dating after divorce, the hosts share SurveyMonkey results and discuss “gray divorce” (divorce increasingly common ages 45–60, roughly doubled since the 1990s), noting that one in four divorces involve adults over 50 and women initiate 65–70% of divorces. Survey respondents were largely from long-term marriages (mostly 10–20+ years); common hardest parts included managing kids, finances, custody time, loss of the family home for gatherings, judgment, and starting over. Reported divorce reasons included marrying too young, alcoholism, abuse, infidelity, emotional neglect, and growing apart. Dating topics included fears (rejection, trust, body image, blending families), app fatigue, and “icks” like fish photos, poor communication, sexting, old photos, and unsolicited explicit pictures, plus red flags such as love bombing and lying; many emphasized knowing what they want, being picky, and learning independence, with a positive story of finding love at 64. 00:00 Biggest Dating Icks 00:28 Podcast Intro and Topic 01:31 Why Survey Anonymously 02:42 Gray Divorce Explained 05:16 Remarriage Stats and Trends 06:49 Divorce Realities and Survey Results 10:29 Dating After Divorce Questions 11:39 Modern Dating Terms 12:07 Ghosting Breadcrumbing Intentions 13:37 Catfishing and Online Risks 13:47 Catfishing Cautionary Tale 15:17 Survey Dating Status 16:17 Fears and Insecurities 16:55 Upsides of Midlife Dating 17:48 Apps and Profile Icks 19:23 What I Wish I Knew 20:21 Red Flags and Love Bombing 21:05 Lessons and Community Support 22:10 Age Gaps and Lifestyle Match 24:43 Hopeful Love Story Ending Support the show ✨ Join the Faded to Fabulous Community 💝 Support Us!
