"What's Next? Conversations with Boomers"
What’s Next? Conversations with Boomers is a candid, cross-generational dialogue exploring life after the milestones—career shifts, retirement, relationships, family, reinvention, and everything in between. Hosted by Barb Desmarais, a retired family & parenting coach and public speaker, each episode dives into honest stories and lived wisdom from Boomers navigating their “what’s next?” moments, offering insights that resonate across generations. Thoughtful, curious, and sometimes funny, the show bridges perspectives and sparks conversations about how we age, adapt, and continue to dream.

The Many Faces of Retirement (Part 2): Kevin Never Moved Out
Tim Wade returns to chat with Barb on another scenario that boomers face at the heels of retirement--when their adult children stay living at home and experience "failure to launch." They discuss their own children and what they went through while cohabitating with them in their early adulthood, how to establish ground rules when they're not minors anymore, and Mela weighs in on why this is happening--the economy, education, the job market, and the looming hopelessness that contributes to our children's stuntedness to find their own way.
