"I was young, I was in my 30s when this started hitting me head on and none of my friends were going through this, nobody really understood. When\\u2019d say, you know, no, I really can\\u2019t do that tonight or I can\\u2019t attend this event or what have you. Many times, it was because I was busy taking care of my mom but often times it was because I was just exhausted.\\u201d

Did you know that one in four millennials is a caregiver? Nobody teaches us how to prepare for or how to care for our parents as they get older. But how do you have those discussions when you move from being their child to being their caregiver?

Our guest today is Kelli Bradley who is the founder of The Devoted Daughter that provides families with resources as they transition to becoming caregivers for aging family members. Kelli didn\\u2019t start her career in senior care. It wasn\\u2019t until her mother was diagnosed with diabetes that Kelly became her full time caregiver. It was only then that she realized that there weren\\u2019t many resources to turn to for support.

So, she created one of the leading in-home care companies, serving thousands of families, but she wanted to help even more people navigate this emotional period and that\\u2019s where her book Always Her Daughter\\xa0 comes in. Also, she has a course called The Devoted Daughter Playbook.

In our conversation, we talk about how Kelly afforded not just the finances of taking care of her mother but the time. How do you balance managing your mother\\u2019s life and your own? How to assess assisted living facilities and nursing homes? And how to empower your siblings who may not be as helpful or cooperative as you to get on board and chip in?

Kelli\'s Book: Always Her Daughter. A memoir and professional guide based on her experience in senior care.

The Course: Playbook for aging parents. How to have the talk with your parents: how to take away the keys? When is it time to move? Step-by-step get your questions answered. \\xa0
