Caregiving often starts quietly, but its impact can quickly reshape careers, finances, and family dynamics.
How prepared are you if a health event forces immediate decisions? And who is included in the conversations that matter most?
In this episode, I speak with Lina Supnet-Zapata, Chief Executive Officer of Mir Senior Care Management, Inc. & Care Consultants, about the realities families face when caregiving begins without a plan.
