Today’s episode is my reflection on the Wonderful Women of Wellness series.

By addressing mental health, exploring unconventional practices like aromatherapy and erotica, delving into spiritual healing, and the need for us to consider eye health the series provided a rich tapestry of insights. 

Wellness is important for everyone regardless of gender, age, size ethnicity or any other demographic we may select for ourselves.  A special thank-you goes out to the wonderful ladies who shared their knowledge with us: Nicole Everett, Dr. Monica Hayes, Vicky Spray, and Dr. Amanda Mathews.

Vickie Spray is a healer who helps other healers. She understands what it takes to heal personal wounds and then to commit to using that healing, spiritual studies, and mystical wisdom, to assist other humans on their journey of healing. She reads souls and she reads energy, and she knows that this time in human history has been prophesied, expected and is now upon us.

The world needs more healers, and these healers need support. Embracing Humans is here for healers, want-to-be-healers, and existing healers. Healers can learn how to experience freedom from the doubts, their confusion and inner saboteur.

Episode 127 What Will You Do When Your Aging Parents Ask to Live with You?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 9:26 — 13.0MB) | Embed

Subscribe: RSS | More

I saw a statistic recently, that stated 52% of young adults currently live with their parents.  While that stat seems high it is not surprising.  Intergenerational households are becoming more common, partly due to economic pressures and longer life spans.

When I was growing up, my parents and maternal grandparents’ houses were next door to each other.  At times it felt as if we all lived under the same roof.  I loved it!  There were wonderful opportunities for bonding with my grandparents.

Sometimes, our intergenerational blending happened because our adult children moved back home with us including bringing their spouses and/or their own children too.  Younger Milestone Divas such as those of us in our 50s, 60s and some 70s are sandwiched between the returning adult children and the aging parents who are not ready or don’t want to move to a senior living community or nursing home.

We may feel more confident and in control with our children, but what do we do when our parents want to live with us?  That situation brings a whole new set of issues.  Primarily, financial and logistical as well as emotional and social.

Childcare is a major expense for many families, so asking grandparents to babysit can ease the financial burden. Of course, there’s also the priceless benefits of giving grandparents and grandchildren more time to spend together so they can develop a closer relationship.

If you and your family are enjoying such an arrangement, you’re not alone. According to the American Grandparents Association, 72% of their members take care of their grandchildren on a regular basis and 13% say they are the primary caregivers.

While there are many advantages, there are also some potential pitfalls that you can avoid with proper planning.  Here are some tips to help you create a safe and satisfying experience for you, your children, and your grandchildren.

Chances are that you don’t remember your first birthday.  That special milestone when everyone around you were so excited just because you existed.

As the decades passed by, each one signified a special milestone.  In your 20s you were probably happy to leave your teenage life and enter adulthood.  In your 30s and 40s, career and family took center stage.

By the time you reach your 50s, 60s 70s and beyond, your milestones take on a totally different meaning.  The Cup of Glo Podcast honors women aged 50 and older by using the reference Milestone Divas.  Not solely because of a number, but because Milestone Divas love life and strive to live their lives out loud, every day!

Today somewhere and everywhere, there are Milestone Divas having birthdays.  For those ladies who have already embraced their Milestone Diva status, today’s discussion is a gentle reminder for you.  For those of you with some hesitation, know this, none of us can put time on hold or turn back the clock, we will continue to age, so we might as well have fun doing it.
