In this episode of Solving Life’s Next Chapter, host Lydia Wietsma  with Raquel Uggiano co-host welcomes Tina Patterson and Chuck Wolf, owners of Caring Transitions, to discuss what families don’t expect when it’s time to downsize, relocate, or manage a loved one’s estate.

Tina and Chuck bring years of hands-on experience helping seniors and families through overwhelming transitions—often during emotional or unexpected life events. They share practical guidance, compassionate insight, and real-life examples of how Caring Transitions steps in when families feel stuck or don’t know where to begin.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why downsizing becomes emotional faster than most families realize

• How decades of belongings and memories can create hidden challenges

• Common mistakes people make when trying to handle transitions alone

• How to reduce stress when timelines are tight or health declines unexpectedly

• What Caring Transitions does—from sorting and packing to estate sales and relocation

• Tips for adult children supporting aging parents

• How professional support can save time, money, energy, and family relationships

Whether you’re a senior planning ahead, an adult child stepping in to help, or a professional who works with aging families, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and actionable steps to navigate life’s biggest transitions with dignity and confidence.
