Following Cynthia’s insightful session, this engaging panel brings the conversation to life through candid discussion, real-life scenarios, and a touch of humor.

Our panelists — including professionals and individuals with lived experience — will explore what actually happens when families sit down to talk about independence, driving, finances, housing, and future care. What works? What backfires? What do we wish we had said differently?

Through relatable examples and honest storytelling, the panel will unpack common stumbling blocks, share practical communication approaches, and offer perspective from both sides of the conversation. Expect thoughtful insights, meaningful takeaways, and moments of levity that remind us we’re not alone in navigating these complex transitions.

This interactive session will also include audience questions, providing an opportunity to explore real concerns in a supportive, solution-focused environment.

Together, we’ll reframe difficult conversations not as confrontations — but as opportunities for clarity, dignity, and connection.
