Caregiving Shouldn't Cost You Your Retirement or Your Sanity

Maybe your parents said "we have everything handled" and you're starting to wonder if that's true. Maybe you're already the one managing appointments, finances, and the group text with siblings who live three time zones away.
Chat with Nat is the show for the moment right before the crisis — and the messy middle of it, too. Every episode digs into the real questions families don't ask each other until it's too late: What does care actually cost? What does Medicare not cover? Who's the medical power of attorney, and does anyone actually know where that paperwork lives?
No jargon. No lecture. Just the conversation you've been putting off, made easier to have.
Meet Nat
Before this podcast, Nat spent 20 years in corporate finance and 7 years in persona finance as a wealth strategist. She knew the products, the strategies, the spreadsheets. What she didn't fully understand — not really — was what it feels like to sit across from your own parent and realize the money conversation can't wait anymore.
Chat with Nat is the show she wishes had existed back then. Every week, she talks with families, financial pros, elder-law attorneys, and caregivers who've lived it — so you don't have to learn everything the hard way.
