You Know the Conversation Needs to Happen. You Just Don't Know How to Navigate It.
A 5-week, self-paced program that teaches you the communication skills to handle any conversation with your aging parents — not a script to memorize, but a way of showing up that works no matter what comes up. Kick off call 10.2.26.
Doors close: 10.1.26
You've rehearsed the conversation in your head a hundred times.
Total package price: $1269 $297
Maybe it's about their driving. Their finances. Whether they should still be living alone. Whatever it is, you know it needs to happen — and you keep putting it off, because every time you've tried, it's gone sideways. Defensiveness. Silence. A conversation that started with love and ended in tension.
You're not bad at this. You just haven't been given the tools.
In 5 weeks, you'll have answers to the four questions every adult child is quietly carrying:
1. How do I trust what I'm seeing? You notice things (the missed bill, the new dent in the car) and second-guess yourself. You'll learn how to recognize the three R's to a pattern with your aging parent.
2. How do I navigate the role shift? You didn't sign up to parent your parent. You'll learn to talk about this role shift.
3. How do I find the time? One of the best tools I've helped people with, is recognizing their own values and how that aligns with their behavior. You'll do this exercise and so will your aging parents. Both parties should gain clarity about how to spend time.
4. How do I talk about it without starting a fight? Not with a script. With the skills to stay curious and grounded, so the conversation stays connected even when it gets hard.
Here's the thing: no script would have saved you in that moment anyway. The right words for one conversation are the wrong words for the next one — because every conversation, every parent, every day is different.
What actually changes things isn't a better line to say. It's a different way of showing up — one that lets you navigate whatever comes up, in any conversation, instead of just getting through one scripted moment.
That's what this program teaches: not words to memorize, but communication skills you'll use for the rest of this relationship.
Hi! I'm Tami!
I've spent 15+ years in senior living, watching countless families reach crisis point simply because no one taught them how to have the conversation sooner.
I'm trained in Motivational Interviewing, the same communication approach used in healthcare to help people navigate change without triggering resistance.
Today, I help families communicate about aging with empowerment and autonomy, not persuasion, so change lands inside a relationship, not against one. This program is everything I wish every family had before things got hard.
Is this right for me?
- The conversation is hard because my aging parents get defensive.
- My aging parents don’t really engage in “the conversation” with me.
- I want to empower them rather than push them.
- They seem resistant to my ideas.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Loved everything so far"
"You've helped me so much in just a month, from clashing with my aging parents, to connecting."
- Genna
"My life changed forever"
"My parents thank you for the values exercise. After they did it, they've been having such deeper conversations. My mom texted me separately afterward to say, 'Wow, you heard us so well in that conversation.'"
- Angie
"Highly recommend this."
"I now know — post program — when I need to have these conversations, the goal isn't telling aging parents what to do, it's pulling the plan out of them."
- Rachel
"They finally opened up."
"Week 1, I tried talking about my parents' ambivalence with them, and they opened up — way more than they ever do!"
- Angie
Is it for you?
Who this is for:
You want real connection with your aging parent, not control over them
You can see the train wreck coming and would rather talk now than clean up later
You’re open to a new mindset, not just a new script
You never want to hear “you made me do this”
You’re having proactive conversations, not safety conversations
You want new communication skills for this conversation and beyond
Who this isn't for:
You only want to be direct — no interest in a different approach
You want control, not connection
You’ve already decided your parent is “just stubborn"
You’re so concerned about safety it’s time to be direct — a free consult is a better fit than this class
Who this COULD be for:
This program teaches you how to have the conversation — the kind aimed at change, decisions, next steps. If you're navigating memory loss with a parent, that kind of conversation often isn't the right tool anymore. This program isn't built for those with dementia, however many families find the skills helpful in communicating.
That's why we include a separate bonus resource for connecting with someone who has dementia—built around reflective language and meeting them in their world, not "having a talk."

Frequently Asked Questions
Gain a better understanding of how this program will help.
Will I get scripts to follow for specific conversations?
No — and that's on purpose. Scripts only work for the exact conversation they were written for. This program teaches you the underlying communication skills (curiosity, presence, navigating resistance and staying grounded) so you can handle whatever actually comes up, in any conversation, not just the one you prepared for. Rooted in Motivational Interviewing you learn the effective way to talk about change with aging parents.
How much time does this take each week?
About 10-15 minutes a day for the video, plus time for the weekly challenge and workbook — as much or as little as you want to invest in the reflection prompts.
Is this self-paced or live?
This is a self-paced program you can start anytime and move through on your own schedule. Finish it in 5 weeks, or several months. Everyone (self-paced and upgrade) is invited to a live kick-off call on October 2nd at 12pm PT to walk through what to expect.
What if my situation is more complex than a "hard conversation" — like a health crisis or major care decision?
This program builds the communication foundation that makes those bigger conversations more possible. It's not a substitute for professional care planning, but it will change how those conversations go.
Do I need my parent to participate too?
No — this program is for you. The tools and mindset shifts are things you apply on your end, though many people find their parents respond differently once they do.
What are some things covered in this program?
Week 1: Creating a safe space, understanding ambivalence, trust what you are seeing
Week 2: Shifting Roles and role traps, Understanding empathy and sympathy and stating your intention
Week 3: Curiosity, becoming an asker instead of a teller, the stages of change
Week 4:Reflective statements and how values drive behavior
Week 5: Putting it all together with the SNAACKS framework
If you want 1 on 1 support, you get 50% off 1 on 1 consulting for 10 weeks from purchase date. Plenty of time to try new skills and get support.
What if this isn't the right fit once I get started?
If you go through Week 1 and it's not landing, email me within 7 days of purchase and I'll refund you, no questions asked. I'd rather you feel confident saying yes than worry about being stuck.
What if I do everything right and my parent still resists?
They might. And that's not a sign you did it wrong.
This isn't about finding the magic words that unlock cooperation — it's about mindset and delivery. The same sentence said from anxiety lands completely differently than that sentence said from curiosity and calm. That's what we're training: how you show up, not a script to recite. But even the best delivery can't guarantee someone else's response. Resistance isn't a personality flaw or a failure on your part — it's part of how communication works when two people are navigating change together.
And if your parent is living with dementia or another form of cognitive decline, I want to be honest with you: their executive functioning may not work the way it used to, and that changes what's possible in any given conversation. No approach — mine or anyone else's — can guarantee an outcome when the brain itself is part of what's changed.
What I can promise is this: you'll finish this program with an expanded understanding of communication and connection, so you're more equipped to set both yourself and your parent up for the best possible chance at a positive conversation — this time, or the next one, or the one after that. That's the part that's actually yours to build.
