A guide to downsizing from your family home 

In this month's very special edition of the Prime Book Club, I sit down with The Hon. Bob Carr to talk about his deeply personal memoir, 'Bring Back Yesterday: On losing the love of my life, and doing what it takes to survive'

It's a soul searing account of the sudden passing of his beloved wife of 50 years, Helena.

You can find Bob's book at all good retailers and online here: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Bob-Carr-Bring-Back-Yesterday-9781761473135

Today, I'm getting personal. Turning 50 this year has been a major wake-up call for my health, and a reminder to check the systems I have in place to support me as I age, starting with my health insurance.

In this episode, I chat to renowned GP Dr. Ginni Mansberg about the midlife changes we should all be preparing for, and Lenette Gear from Australian Unity, to explain exactly how our health cover should be working for us in the next phase of life.
