Youâll learn how to stop being the silent default and start leading with clarity and shared responsibility.

Dr. Barbara Sparacino
Triple Board-Certified Psychiatrist & Aging Parent Coach
Barbara has spent over 15 years on the front lines of medical, legal, and emotional crises â as a hospital psychiatrist, a daughter, and now a coach helping families navigate aging with clarity and confidence.
Sheâs guided hundreds of adult children through the chaos of caregiving, power of attorney confusion, frozen bank accounts, sibling tension, and the guilt that comes with doing it all.
As a triple board-certified adult, geriatric, and addiction psychiatrist, Barbara brings both clinical expertise and real-life compassion to every conversation.
Her mission?
To help you avoid the common traps families fall into when they wait too long â and give you a plan that protects your parent and your peace of mind.
âI went from avoiding the conversation to having everything signed in a weekend.â
âIâd been putting off power of attorney and healthcare proxy talks with my mom for two years. The Legal Protection Guide gave me exact scripts, checklists, and a step-by-step plan so it didnât feel overwhelming or âmorbid.â We sat down over coffee, used the workbook, and had everything completed and organized in one weekend. The relief I feel now is priceless.â
â Melissa, 49, only child, New Jersey
âThis would have saved us so much confusion when Dad was in the hospital.â
âWhen my dad had a sudden stroke, nobody knew who was supposed to make decisions or where his documents were (if they even existed). I bought the Legal Protection Guide after that crisis, and I wish Iâd had it sooner. Now, my momâs legal and medical documents are fully updated, and my siblings and I are all on the same page. No more guessing, no more âwhoâs in charge?â arguments.â
â Jason, 52, son of a stroke survivor
âAs a busy caregiver and mom, I just needed someone to tell me what to do next.â
âI donât have time to decode legal jargon or read a 300-page book. This guide broke everything down into simple steps: what documents we need, who we need to call, and what questions to ask. The checklists and templates made it so much easier to talk to our attorney without feeling intimidated. I finally feel like a competent âproject managerâ of my parentsâ legal life instead of a panicked daughter.â
â Priya, 46, sandwich generation caregiver
âIt stopped a sibling fight before it started.â
âEvery time we talked about money or âwho gets what,â it turned into tension. The Legal Protection Guide gave us a structure for talking about wills, assets, and decision-makers without it becoming a free-for-all. We used the âfamily communicationâ suggestions and agreed on a plan before seeing an attorney. My brothers even thanked me for taking the lead... which has never happened before.â
â Laura, 50, one of four siblings
Crisis doesnât wait â but you donât have to either.
