Caring for Your Aging Parents Podcast

Episode 043: Meet Your New Host! A New Chapter for Caring for Your Aging Parents

Lynn Smargis started Caring for Your Aging Parents to help families through one of adulthood’s hardest jobs. Now she hands the show to Janet Berry-Johnson, a CPA and Certified Financial Education Instructor who helps Gen X adult children get ahead of their parents’ finances. In the first of three handoff episodes, Lynn explains why she’s stepping back and what she looked for in a successor. Janet shares how a career in tax led her to Daily Money Management, what she is dealing with in her own family, and what changes (a closer look at the money side of caregiving) and what stays the same (the mission, the audience, the tone).
