Big moves create big stress, especially when the move is into senior care. In this episode, Matt Paxton (Clutter Cleaner, Filthy Fortunes) shares a simple, repeatable plan to downsize without crushing the family. Matt’s first step is clarity: pick where you’re going and set the deadline. Then make a “legacy list” of five items, the pieces that hold the stories you want to keep. After that, choose your real must-haves based on space, not guilt (sometimes buying new costs less than moving old).
From there, it’s the hard part: the other 95% of the house. Matt walks through fast ways to check value (Google Lens, eBay sold listings), where items sell best (local vs online), and why “family heirlooms” like dining room sets and china often have zero market now. He also shares practical tactics for pre-sorting photos and paper, plus what to do if a loved one keeps collecting in a smaller senior living apartment.

In this episode, host Angie Graham sits down with Angela and Maggie, COO's of Davis Consulting, to pull back the curtain on life inside struggling nursing homes.

With backgrounds in long term care administration, hospital leadership and hands-on crisis work in facilities across the region, they specialize in stepping into buildings that are in trouble: survey tags, staffing chaos, low census and financial strain.

They talk about:

• Why so many long term care leaders are burned out
• How staffing shortages and pay competition are reshaping the field
• The lingering trauma of Covid for residents, families and staff
• What “federal focus” buildings are and why some close instead of recover
• Why culture and leadership matter more than any policy binder
• How Davis Consulting helps facilities move from panic mode to prevention

If you work in senior care, health care leadership or you’ve ever worried about where your loved one might live, this conversation will hit close to home.

Angie sits with Sheri, a mother who lost both of her identical twin sons to overdose, and who has stayed sober through unimaginable pain. She traces family history, her own addiction and recovery, the boys’ paths, and the hard truths about stigma, relapse, and faith. Ben from River City Recovery adds context on risk after treatment and why connection matters. This is a raw, compassionate conversation about grief, honesty, and helping the next person stay alive.
