Most people don’t plan for the moment when a family home suddenly becomes a responsibility.

A health scare. A loss. A parent who can’t live independently anymore.

And overnight, adult children are forced to make decisions they were never prepared for.

In this conversation, Ken Corsini—founder of Red Barn Homes, LLC, and creator of Family Nest Estate Solutions—breaks down what really happens during these life transitions, why traditional real estate approaches often miss the mark, and how serving families before talking about property completely changes the outcome.

This isn’t about chasing deals. It’s about building trust, offering options, and creating businesses that actually make life easier during one of the hardest seasons families face.

If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or someone thinking about stepping out of a W-2 role, there’s a bigger lesson here about purpose-driven business models and where real opportunity is heading over the next 10–20 years.

Grief doesn’t come with instructions—especially when kids are involved.

This conversation goes straight into the moments parents quietly panic about:

• What do you say when a child asks where someone went?
• How do you support grief without trying to “fix” it?
• Why healing isn’t about moving on—but learning how to carry loss forward.

Julia Dunn, Clinical Director at Olivia’s House, brings years of experience working with children and families navigating death, illness, and anticipatory grief.

She breaks down how kids actually understand loss, why honest language matters, and how resilience is shaped long before tragedy hits.
