Remarkable Futures is a podcast for families navigating the financial, emotional, and practical realities of planning for a loved one with special needs.
Hosted by Stephen Norton of Able Planning, the show brings real conversations to the forefront—about long-term care, independence, advocacy, and peace of mind.
In this first episode, Stephen is joined by Helen Bosch and Marty Schwartz, parents who share their personal journey navigating life and planning for a loved one with special needs. They speak candidly about the questions they didn’t know to ask, the challenges they faced along the way, and the lessons they wish they had learned sooner.
Their story reflects what so many families experience—uncertainty, resilience, and the deep responsibility of wanting to do the right thing for someone you love.
This episode sets the foundation for the Remark(able) Futures podcast. It’s not about products or quick answers. It’s about listening, learning, and planning with intention.
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or professional supporting individuals with disabilities, this podcast is here to inform, encourage, and remind you: you are not alone—and your story matters.
