This has been a much-requested topic - how do we support our family members who may be growing older and needing more help while still in the busy kid-years?

Lauren Smith is a gerontologist and licensed nursing home administrator, currently working as a consultant working with multiple healthcare entities to plan for emergencies; she is also a mother of 3 (ages 3, 6, & 8). Lauren shares lots of wisdom from what she has observed in families over the years, and discusses strategies for navigating this difficult life stage.

In the Q&A, a listener writes in asking for guidance in dealing with "non-work, non-urgent unappealing tasks" -- she struggles and ends up putting them off week after week.
