    Together, we dive into questions like: How do you manage competing responsibilities without burning out? What skills from business can help with caregiving, and vice versa?

  • Episode 53- Strong Boundaries, Safe Choices: Self-Defense for the Golden Age
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Tamar Frank, Tamar is a clinical social worker a self defense instructor and holds a black belt in Karate, and explore the crucial but often overlooked skills of setting boundaries and practicing self-defense for older adults.

    From recognizing early warning signs to asserting yourself clearly with loved ones, we cover practical tips for maintaining safety, confidence, and healthier relationships. We also discuss the unique challenges faced by the elder Anglo community and those navigating life in a new country, where language barriers and dependence on others can make boundary-setting more difficult. Even if you never need to use physical self-defense, learning the techniques, can empower your body and mind, supporting stronger everyday communication and self-protection.

    My name is Mirit Hoffman, an elder law lawyer and gerontologist based in Israel. I help older adults and their families stay in control through practical legal planning, including wills, estate planning, enduring powers of attorney, prenups, and financial agreements for second marriages. I also advise on cross-border issues for those making aliyah or retiring in Israel. My goal is to provide clear, compassionate legal solutions that support aging well and protect family relationships
