  • From HGTV to Helping Families: Ken Corsini on Building Businesses That Make a Difference | Bodacious Estate Conversations | EP 109
    2026/01/29

    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.

    Key Discussion Points

    00:00 – Why estate transitions catch families off guard 01:43 – The real problem families face when parents must move 03:11 – The largest transfer of real estate wealth in history 04:38 – Why traditional probate marketing turns people off 06:15 – Convenience vs. maximizing value: giving families real options 08:37 – Building a true one-stop, white-glove estate solution 10:03 – Turning service into a scalable, nationwide business model 11:52 – The “silver tsunami” and what it means for entrepreneurs 13:35 – Why entrepreneurship removes the ceiling on impact 14:20 – How TV exposure accelerated business growth 18:08 – Where the entrepreneurial mindset really comes from 25:14 – A very real (and very unexpected) lesson in risk and responsibility 32:17 – Final reflections on service, purpose, and long-term vision

  • Compassion in Action: How Olivia’s House Supports Grieving Families | Bodacious Estate Conversations | EP 108
    2026/01/15

    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.

    Key Discussion Points

    00:00 – Why adults fear “saying the wrong thing” about death

    02:30 – Why vague language (“passed away”) can confuse children

    04:40 – How Olivia’s House supports families in real time

    06:30 – Why losing a pet can hit harder than losing a relative

    07:45 – Grief triggers, routines, and why they’re signs of healing

    09:30 – Why grief is lifelong—but pain isn’t

    10:30 – Reconstruction: how loss reshapes identity

    12:00 – Resilience, narratives, and what kids absorb from adults

    14:00 – Inside Olivia’s House programs and age-based support

    16:00 – Why showing up consistently matters more than perfection

    18:00 – Community response after tragedy

    19:00 – Julia’s personal path into grief work

    21:00 – Why talk therapy isn’t always right for kids

    23:00 – Creative and movement-based healing

    26:00 – Living with illness and empathy through experience

    28:30 – Why there’s no “quick fix” for grief

    32:00 – Supporting families before death happens

    34:00 – How to get help, volunteer, or support Olivia’s House

    This is about compassion without clichés, support without judgment, and understanding grief as a lifelong process—not a problem to solve.
