Age Old Questions: The Aging Parents Podcast
A podcast that explores the challenges of supporting aging parents with wisdom, humor, and honesty.
Navigating the role of supporting an aging parent can leave you feeling frustrated, guilty, worried, and alone. I'm here to provide guidance, interview experts, and share stories from people just like you so you'll feel more connected, prepared, and less stressed. We have big complicated lives to live, and this is part of the whole thing. I want to empower and inspire you to enjoy, to laugh, to ponder, to grieve and to really engage in this part of life. - Ellen.
Ellen Koebel is a physical therapist who works in the homes of older adults. She has helped hundreds of families navigate the practical and emotional challenges of aging and illness.
