Grandma's Special Spoon

Kayla Hill cleaned out her grandmother's house before she owned a senior move management company. Five hundred printed emails. A tax return from the eighties. A spoon nobody could throw away. She says her family could have spent that weekend grieving instead of sorting, and that is the whole reason she does this work now. Full episode of Lifted with Patrick Merrill out now.

Most people have never heard of the National Association of Senior Move Managers - but it's the fastest way to find a vetted move manager anywhere in the country.

Kayla Hill runs Golden Bridges here in Quincy, IL, one of NASMM's A+ accredited companies. On LIFTED, she breaks down what senior move management actually covers - downsizing, estate cleanouts, even coordinating pet rehoming - and how to check a company's accreditation before you hire one.

Where's the Actuarial Data on This?

Every agent has heard it. The insurance company will not allow that breed. Judy Bellack advises the Pet Inclusive Housing Initiative and says the excuse usually falls apart the moment somebody asks for the numbers behind it. One question to the provider, and the restriction often turns out to have never been underwritten at all. Full episode of Lifted with Patrick Merrill out now.

The Sweetest Dog on the Planet

Judy Bellack's daughter was in her early twenties and about to have her first baby when she rescued a pitbull puppy. Judy and her husband were not sure about it. That dog went on to be there for the births of all four grandchildren, and she lived to fourteen. What happened next is the part that changed how Judy sees rental housing.

Judy Bellack's daughter rescued a pitbull puppy right before her first baby was due. Every rental application came back no.

Judy and her husband ended up covering the down payment on a house instead — because renting was never going to happen.

She joins me on LIFTED to explain why "pet friendly" and "pet inclusive" are not the same promise.

Six slides on what it actually costs to rebuild after losing everything.

Architect Marija Volkman has spent the year since the LA wildfires helping families rebuild. The teardown math, the hillside costs, and the one question she asks every displaced client: what do you wish you saved.

The Pregnancy Push

Megan Ware Marsh's coach gave her one instruction while she was four or five months pregnant with her third child: go hire yourself. She hired three people in 90 days, certain she'd end up broke. Instead it became the year her business grew 30 to 40 percent, while she was out for four months having a baby. Full episode of Lifted with Patrick Merrill out now.

Fired For Doing Too Well

Megan Ware Marsh was the top producer at the company she worked for. Her boss assumed she was quietly starting her own business and fired her before she'd made the decision herself. Two coworkers walked out behind her the same day. That's the moment that pushed her into opening her first mortgage brokerage. Full episode of Lifted with Patrick Merrill out now.

After 16 years in real estate, I know how hard it is to stop doing everything yourself.

Megan Marsh hired three people in 90 days, stepped away for roughly four months to have a baby, and still grew her business 30–40% that year.

This LIFTED conversation is about building the team and systems that make real freedom possible.

Two women, both 92, both in good health, both determined to put their houses back. Architect Marija Volkman does the math out loud: permits and construction put them two to four years out. She does not tell them no. She sits with what that actually means. Lifted with Patrick Merrill, full episode out now.
