Boomer Banter is real talk about caregiving, purpose, and connection. Host Wendy Green shares her own experience caring solo for her 96-year-old mother at home, the good days, the hard days, and everything in between. Rather than offering advice, Wendy opens up about what it actually feels like to be a solo caregiver: the exhaustion and the small victories, the loneliness and the moments of unexpected closeness, and the ongoing question of how to hold onto her own purpose and friendships while caring for someone she knows she won't have forever. This show is for you if you're asking: ->What does solo caregiving really look like, day to day? ->How do I stay connected to my own friendships and identity while caregiving? ->How do I find purpose in caregiving, and beyond it? ->How do I navigate the hard days without losing the good ones? ->What does it mean to care for a parent who is aging, but not declining with dementia?

Go Outside to Go Inside: Finding Calm in Five Minutes
Aug 4, 202616 minS9
Life doesn't always give us the luxury of slowing down. Between caregiving, family responsibilities, appointments, and the endless to-do list, taking care of ourselves can easily become one more thing we never quite get around to doing. In this solo introduction, Wendy shares how caring for her 96-year-old mother has changed not only her daily routine but also the way she thinks about self-care. Looking for ways to restore calm in an often unpredictable day, she revisits one of her favorite conversations from the Boomer Banter archives with certified forest therapy guide Angie Stegall. Together they explore the practice of forest bathing —not hiking, exercising, or identifying trees—but simply slowing down, becoming present, and engaging your senses in nature. The best part? You don't need hours in the woods. Angie explains how even five minutes in your own backyard can help quiet your mind, reduce stress, and reconnect you with yourself. Whether you're a caregiver, recently retired, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's constant demands, this episode offers a simple reminder that peace is often closer than we think. In this episode, you'll learn: What forest bathing really is—and what it isn't. Why slowing down can actually improve your patience, mood, and sense of well-being. How mindfulness and nature work together to calm a busy mind. A simple five-minute practice you can try today, even if you don't have time for a hike. Why going outside may be one of the best ways to reconnect with yourself.

Before my mom moved in with me, I had a morning routine, a clear sense of purpose, and a podcast I had spent six years building. Then everything changed. In this episode I'm talking honestly about what happens when caregiving reshapes your life in ways you didn't anticipate — the loss of independence, the loss of your former self, and the strange grief of watching someone you love let go of living while you're still fighting to stay engaged with life. This is an episode about transitions. Specifically, the part nobody talks about enough: the Messy Middle. That uncomfortable, murky stretch between the life you had and the life that's still taking shape. If you're in it right now — whether because of caregiving, retirement, loss, or any other major life shift — this one is for you. We'll talk about why the Messy Middle is not a sign that something is wrong, what it actually takes to move through it, and why choosing life — even on the hard days — is still a choice worth making.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
