Your Parent Porter™
Family Conversation Service
Have the conversations now, before a crisis forces them.
Keep them SAFE.
You stay CALM.
You know there are things you should
probably talk about with your parents.
What they want.
What they’ve planned.
What they haven’t planned.
Where important information lives.
Who to call.
What happens if something changes suddenly.
But these conversations are easy to avoid.
They can feel awkward, emotional, intrusive, overwhelming or like something you’ll get to “later.”
I know what later can look like.
After losing both of my parents, I realized how many questions I never thought to ask while I still had the chance.
That is why I created Your Parent Porter™.
You don’t have to figure out what to ask.
We guide the conversation for you.
Your Parent Porter™ is a private, guided family conversation service designed to help adult children and their parents uncover the information, wishes, concerns, and gaps that families often do not discover until something happens.
Using the Your Parent Porter™ SAFE Family Preparedness framework, we walk your family through the conversations
that are easy to postpone but incredibly important to have.
How It Works
1. We start with you.
We begin with a private conversation with the adult child or siblings
to understand your family, your concerns, and what you already know.
2. We introduce the process to your parents.
We meet together so everyone understands why you are doing this,
what the process looks like, and how the conversations will be handled.
This is not about taking control away from your parents.
It is about giving everyone more clarity while your parents
can still participate in the conversation.
3. We have the conversations.
Through guided private sessions, we ask thoughtful questions around
topics families often avoid or simply do not think about.
Depending on your family, that may include:
-Emergency plans and important contacts
-Home safety and everyday living
-Health and wellbeing awareness
-Digital access, passwords, and accounts
-Important documents and where they are kept
-Sentimental belongings and valuables
-Funeral or end-of-life preferences
-Future living and care preferences
-Professionals involved in your parents’ lives
-Family roles and responsibilities
-Gaps that may need professional attention
We are not replacing your estate attorney, financial advisor,
doctor, accountant, or other professionals.
We help uncover the questions and gaps so your family knows
when those professionals may be needed.
4. You receive a clear family action plan.
After the conversations, we organize what we learned and identify:
-What is already handled
-What your family now knows
-What is still unclear
-What needs attention
-What should be prioritized next
-Which professionals or resources may be helpful
Instead of walking away with more information to sort through,
you leave with clarity.
This may be right for you if…
Your parents are still independent, but you realize you do not actually
know what would happen if something changed.
You live in another city or state and worry that you are missing things.
Your parents say, “Everything is handled,” but you are
not sure what that actually means.
You and your siblings are not completely aligned.
Your parents avoid conversations about the future.
You have tried bringing these topics up,
but nothing ever seems to get finished.
Or you simply do not want to wait until an emergency to
find out what your family should have talked about sooner.
Your parents do not need to have everything figured out.
That is the point.
This is not about predicting every possible future scenario.
It is about creating more clarity now so your family has fewer unknowns later.

Ready to start the conversation?
My Big Why..
My parents were both in their 60s and doing the
best they knew how.
Then I lost them unexpectedly, one year apart.
I loved my parents deeply. But after they were gone,
I realized how many questions I had never thought to ask,
how much information I didn't know, and
how many things families are left trying to figure out
while already overwhelmed.
We didn't know what we didn't know.
That experience changed the way I look at family preparedness.
There are conversations to have, information to organize, questions to ask, and potential gaps to uncover long before a crisis forces your family to deal with them.
I created Your Parent Porter™ and the
SAFE Family Preparedness System™
to help other families see those gaps sooner.
Because my loss taught me something I can't unlearn:
The best time to figure this out is before you need it.
What MOST Families Miss Until It's a Problem
The conversations.
The emergency information.
The house.
The documents.
The changes nobody has discussed.
The responsibilities everyone assumes
someone else will handle.
These are the gaps families often overlook
until something happens.
Our SAFE Family Intensive will uncover those gaps,
organize what matters, and understand
what needs attention first.

About Nicole
After losing both of my parents unexpectedly within one year, I realized how many questions our family had never thought to ask and how much information families are left trying to find while already overwhelmed.
I founded Your Parent Porter™ and created the SAFE Family Preparedness System™ to help adult children uncover those gaps before a crisis forces the conversation.
As a licensed Arizona real estate professional, Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, speaker, author, and host of My Parents Lied to Me, I bring together the home, family, and practical preparedness questions that are too often handled separately.
The SAFE Family Preparedness System and related services provide educational and organizational guidance. Your Parent Porter does not provide legal, financial, tax, insurance, or medical advice. Families should consult the appropriate licensed professionals for advice specific to their situation.
