In this episode, Nathan and Jordan explore the emotional and financial crossroads many women face when their children move out.

They unpack the guilt around reducing financial support, the shift toward prioritising retirement, and why scarcity becomes real the closer you get to finishing work.

They discuss how to assess whether ongoing help for adult kids is sustainable, how to avoid unintentionally sacrificing your own future, and how a financial plan can clarify what's possible. They also explore downsizing, blended family pressures, and why putting yourself first is not selfish; it's necessary.

Based on real client stories, this episode will help you rethink support, boundaries, and the path toward a secure retirement.
