Solo Aging Series (Virtual)
Join Marni Blank, founder of Begin with the End, for a three-part series designed to give solo agers and those preparing for that possibility the practical tools, emotional support, and community connection they need to plan with confidence.
Session 1 (September 17): Building Your Support System
Who shows up when life changes? Take an honest look at your current support circle, identify gaps, and understand why the right people in the right roles matters more than we think.
Session 2 (October 1): Practical Tools for Planning Ahead
This session walks through what documents, decisions and systems to have in place, how to choose the right support and how to organize your financial and digital life so someone can step in if needed.
Session 3 (October 15): Taking Action: Mindset, Legacy, and Making it Stick
Here we'll address the emotional barriers that keep us stuck, reframing planning as something we do for ourselves and not a sign of decline.
This is a virtual presentation and a link will be provided one hour before each program.
Presented in partnership with Cambridge Neighbors.
