Holiday gatherings can be busy, loud, and full of nostalgia, yet they can also carry quiet clues about how a senior in your life is truly coping. In this bonus episode, Teri sits down with geriatrician Dr. Amina Jabbar to explore how to spot those subtle signs with warmth rather than worry. Dr. Jabbar shares a thoughtful perspective on aging that blends clinical experience with real-life stories, helping you understand what matters most, what can wait, and how to start supportive conversations that honour your loved one’s independence. It is an episode about noticing what is new, cherishing what remains, and creating the kind of safety net that grows from genuine connection.
