There's been much talk about Gen Xers being able to handle the Coronavirus Quarantine well. But what about only children?! In this episode, I chat with April Preyar, a fellow only child, about how she tapped into our familiarity with "alone time" to thrive during this quarantine. We also discuss how she has leveraged her professional experience to eliminate racial inequity in the U.S. criminal justice system. In addition to being a successful criminal law attorney with 20 years of experience, she is an adjunct law professor, social media vlogger, Know Your Rights educator and boardgame developer. She is also a published author and visual artist.

Caregiving can place strains on your family, career, and mental and physical health. Siblings can tackle this as a team. But as an only child, how will you handle the stress of bearing sole responsibility for financial decisions, hospital visits and/or emergencies of aging parents? Join me every two weeks to discuss ways to create and maintain a prosperous, healthy life for yourself while adequately preparing for your parents’ lives at retirement and beyond.
