Join us for a conversation on making exercise more interesting and join the experiment of trying something new (with a friend) once-a-month.

It can be laden with emotion. And, kids often end up involved. In this episode, Amy and Pat speak with Chrissie Ammann, a Sales and Marketing Director with Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America. With decades of experience helping seniors (and their kids) navigate decisions about the when, where and how  to make a decision to move out of their home and into a community, she offers wisdom about what to consider and the journey to reframe the decision as a new beginning...rather than the beginning of the end. As always, Amy cries.
