What happens when your aging parents are thousands of miles away — and something goes wrong?

Episode 53- Strong Boundaries, Safe Choices: Self-Defense for the Golden Age

In this episode, I sit down with Tamar Frank, Tamar is a clinical social worker a self defense instructor and holds a black belt in Karate, and explore the crucial but often overlooked skills of setting boundaries and practicing self-defense for older adults. From recognizing early warning signs to asserting yourself clearly with loved ones, we cover practical tips for maintaining safety, confidence, and healthier relationships. We also discuss the unique challenges faced by the elder Anglo community and those navigating life in a new country, where language barriers and dependence on others can make boundary-setting more difficult. Even if you never need to use physical self-defense, learning the techniques, can empower your body and mind, supporting stronger everyday communication and self-protection.
