Tune in to this series of podcasts – Planning for the Unexpected
Join me and my co-host Amanda Armstrong as we take you through this series of six podcasts which can help you to be better prepared for those unexpected life events.
Podcasts can be found on YouTube.
This series is presented on behalf of the Older Women’s Network.
Death is of course, inevitable, but often it is unexpected. Most of us would rather not think too much about it. But planning for the unexpected can be liberating. It allows you to enjoy life because you have removed a future burden for yourself and your loved ones.
This new series from OWN presented by family lawyer Alice Mantel will take you through what you need to organise before you die, from writing a will, family conversations and decluttering. It can be a baffling area, and easy to put in the too hard basket for now. This practical and reassuring series will break down the steps and give you tips to approach planning for the unexpected in a positive and proactive way.
Preparing for the unexpected – Wills, Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardianships and more – Episode 1.
The gentle art of decluttering – Episode 2

LEAN IN AND LISTEN!
Welcome to the Baby Boomers Guide to Life in the 21st Century!
Produced by Jeffrey Furolo and hosted by Lex Marinos and Patricia ‘Little Pattie’ Amphlett, the Baby Boomers Guide is a radio series that can be heard on community radio station, Radio Skid Row.
The team has completed two seasons of radio programs, and most recently, a 34 session season of topics aimed at listeners over 55 years. Topics covered include: Health Services & Ageing in Australia; Sexuality, Relationships & Ageing; and The Brain & Ageing.
Based on my legal experience, I chatted with Patricia in the Two Cents Worth segment on three important topics:
Wills and inheritances: https://babyboomersguide.com.au/episode/s2-e1-ageism-discrimination-stigma/
Divorce & separation in later life: https://babyboomersguide.com.au/episode/s2-e5-intergenerationality-ageing/
Powers of an attorney: https://babyboomersguide.com.au/episode/technology-ageing-in-australia/
The series began with an interview with Australia’s first Age Discrimination Commissioner, the late Susan Ryan. Other notable speakers include former NSW Legislative Council MP Meredith Burgmann; and Deputy Commissioner of the ACCC, Delia Rickard.
Podcasts of the programs are available on the Baby Boomers Guide to the 21st Century website at https://babyboomersguide.com.au/episode/technology-ageing-in-australia/.
Season 2 is proudly supported by Older Women’s Network NSW and Ecstra Foundation.
