About This Podcast
Aging is not for the faint of heart.
I’m Kim, a proud Generation Xer, and I’m here with my Baby Boomer mom, Karren. Together, we tackle the tough—but necessary—conversations, share the hilarious (and sometimes embarrassing) moments, and open up about the stories that truly touch the heart.
Come with us as we explore what it means to navigate these years with our aging loved ones.
This is Karren, and I just want to say thank you for spending this time with us. Please come back for more laughs, more connection, and more real-life moments.
You’re always welcome, and I hope something from today stays with you as you travel through your own life story.
So grab a cup of coffee—or maybe a glass of wine—invite your friends or family, and join us for Walks with Mom.
