A daughter's journey: Supporting my ageing parents

Watching a parent's independence slip away is one of the hardest things a family can face. It rarely announces itself. It starts small: an unpaid bill, a strange decision, a bit of confusion, and before you know it you're dealing with a full-blown financial and emotional crisis.

Francesca de Gasparis shares her own family's journey through exactly that. Joined by WellsFaber financial planner Mike Moore, they unpack what it actually takes to support ageing parents without losing sight of their dignity, and how planning early can spare your whole family the stress later.

Cheryl and Mike walk through what it actually took to go from a two-income household to figuring out rent, school fees, and a career reset almost overnight, and why the real value of a wealth manager often has less to do with product advice and more to do with stability, trust, and being a steady sounding board when everything else feels uncertain.

Financial Fitness for the Aging Mind

Cognitive decline doesn't just affect memory, it quietly affects your finances too. This episode features Dr Craige Dietrich, the Memory Doc, and Mike Moore from WellsFaber, unpacking a risk few wealth managers or clients talk about openly.

Craige and Mike explore the line between normal age-related forgetfulness and more serious decline, the vulnerability it creates around fraud and complex decisions, and why bringing a trusted family member or advisor into the loop early makes all the difference later.
