  1. Being a Caregiver for Mom from a Son's Perspective with Mark Steven Porro Guidance Point Advisors, LLC. 59:45

Ep 103: Many of us imagine our Retirement years filled with Travel, relaxation, and time to pursue long-neglected hobbies. But for some, the reality of retirement brings new responsibilities, particularly in the form of Caregiving for a loved one. While caring for a parent or a loved one can be rewarding, it can also be incredibly challenging—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Today, we’ll explore the complexities of caregiving: How do you balance the emotional weight of watching a parent age with the practical needs of their care? What do you do when the roles of parent and child are reversed? And how can we find lightness and connection even in the most trying moments?

Whether you’re currently caring for a loved one, anticipating that responsibility, or simply want to hear a story of resilience, love, and humor, this episode will be filled with insights and inspiration for anyone navigating the caregiving journey.
