The Journey of Downsizing Part 1: The Psychology Behind Letting Go
The signs are clear: the house feels too big, the yard is unmanageable, and closets overflow with items you haven’t touched in years. But even when simplifying your life makes sense, letting go is far from easy.
In this eye-opening seminar, we’ll explore the emotional and psychological barriers that make downsizing so difficult. From saying goodbye to a home filled with memories to parting with possessions tied to the life you’ve built, we’ll uncover why it’s so hard—and how to navigate the process.
What You’ll Gain:
- Insight into the emotional challenges of letting go of a longtime home and belongings.
- Strategies and tools to help you and/or your loved ones prepare for downsizing.
- Resources and worksheets to guide you through the process—at your own pace.
Whether you’re thinking about downsizing now or just preparing for the future, this seminar will provide the clarity and confidence to take your next steps when you’re ready.

The Journey of Hospice and Palliative Care: The conversation no one wants—but everyone needs—to have.
When the conversation turns to hospice or palliative care, fear often follows. Many families avoid the topic altogether—until they can’t. But what if understanding these services could bring relief, not worry?
The Journey of Hospice and Palliative Care is a heartfelt, informative seminar designed to replace fear with clarity. Led by moderator Lee Ann Balta of Transiti, this discussion features a panel of trusted professionals—including a hospice expert, a clinical director, and a grief counselor—who guide families through the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of end-of-life care.
Together, we’ll explore the difference between hospice and palliative care, when and how to access them, what support families can expect, and how planning ahead can preserve peace and dignity in life’s final chapter.
Guests will walk away with:
- A clear understanding of hospice and palliative care—what they are (and what they aren’t)
- Practical steps for accessing care, reducing overwhelm, and planning for comfort at home
- Insight into what happens after a death at home and how to prepare ahead
- Compassionate guidance that honors both the person and the process
This event is part of Your Silver Journey, a free monthly educational series by Transiti that equips, educates, and empowers adults navigating life’s later transitions—with no sales pitch, just real answers from trusted experts.
