What families can say if they feel a discharge isn’t safe
The biggest mistakes made during senior care emergencies
How to recognize when it’s time for assisted living, memory care, or added support
Why pre-planning before a crisis is critical
What a senior placement advisor actually does—and how they help at no cost

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?

Guest: Seth Leibsohn
Host: Cheryl Scheidell, Reverse Mortgage Specialist, Barrett Financial Group

Reverse mortgages are one of the most misunderstood financial tools available to seniors today. In this episode, Cheryl Scheidell is joined by Seth Leibsohn for a candid, thoughtful discussion that cuts through fear, myths, and outdated information.

This episode focuses on education, consumer protection, and personal responsibility.

In this episode, we discuss:


Why reverse mortgages developed a negative reputation


How today’s FHA-insured reverse mortgages have changed


The real obligations homeowners must meet


Common myths vs. real risks


Who should consider a reverse mortgage—and who shouldn’t

Seth Leibsohn Interviews Cheryl - Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You with Cheryl from Barrett Financial

🎙️ Episode Overview

Estate planning doesn’t have to be intimidating—and it’s not just for the wealthy. In Part 1 of this two-part series, host Cheryl Scheidell sits down with her longtime friend of over 30 years, financial advisor and estate planning specialist Jayson Walker of Netvest Financial, to break estate planning down in simple, real-world terms.

This episode focuses on the foundational pieces of estate planning, common misconceptions, and the costly mistakes families often make when planning is delayed or incomplete. Cheryl and Jayson explain why estate planning is about protecting your family and your home while you’re living, not just what happens after you pass away.

🧠 Topics Covered in Part 1
What estate planning really is (and what it is not)
Who needs an estate plan (hint: more people than you think)
Why estate planning often feels overwhelming
The biggest and most common estate planning mistakes
Additional mistakes families make that create confusion later
The difference between Wills and Trusts
What probate is and why families try to avoid it
How poor planning can lead to stress, delays, and unnecessary costs

🎧 Why This Episode Matters

Many families don’t realize the problems they’ve created until it’s too late—often during a health crisis or after the loss of a loved one. This episode helps listeners understand why proactive planning matters and sets the stage for Part 2, where solutions and strategies are discussed in greater detail.
