SHOWNOTES:
In this episode, I share why the greatest gift you can give a grandparent this Christmas isn’t something you buy but it’s genuine connection. I talk about how older adults often feel unseen or overlooked, and why asking questions, listening, and spending intentional time with them matters so much. I also introduce the Grandkid Investigator Kit, a simple tool I created to help families spark meaningful conversations and deepen relationships across generations, whether you're together in person or connecting from afar.
