Aging, retirement, and caregiving are some of the most difficult conversations farm families face — not because of paperwork, but because of identity, fear, and unspoken responsibility. In this episode, Heidi Olson breaks down why these conversations are so often avoided, how informal caregiving quietly begins, and how unspoken roles can create resentment and stress inside both the family and the operation.

Heidi shares a practical, compassionate framework for starting these discussions early — without blame, pressure, or forcing decisions. This episode is about replacing crisis-driven choices with calm, intentional planning that protects parents, successors, and the farm itself.
