Senior Truth Series - Kansas City

09/11/2026

We loved having Michelle with Compassionate Decluttering as one of our panelists in August!

I so enjoyed being part of the Lenexa Senior Truth Series panel and meeting so many wonderful people along the way.

I was grateful for the opportunity to talk about living with less and the freedom that can come from creating space for what matters most.

Thank you to everyone who came and made the conversation so meaningful. ❤️

81 attendees—a new Senior Truth Series record!

I’m truly humbled by the continued support of our community and so grateful for our Education Partners who help make these seminars possible each month.

Our August seminar, “Making Sense of ‘All the Stuff’: Organizing, Selling, and Donating with Confidence,” was packed with practical advice, thoughtful conversations, and plenty of great takeaways.

A big thank you to our panelists:

Maija Diethelm – The Maija Method shared practical strategies for organizing, decluttering, and making the process feel more manageable.

Michelle Hoff – Compassionate Decluttering helped us understand the emotions and memories tied to our belongings and why letting go can be about so much more than simply getting rid of things.

Jody Tucker – Professional Liquidator explained what happens to the things we no longer want, including liquidation vs. estate sales and what actually has resale value.

And a special thank you to Santa Marta, our featured Education Partner, for providing a wonderful gift basket for one lucky attendee!

One of the biggest takeaways: You don’t have to tackle everything at once—or do it alone. With a plan, the right resources, and a little help, “all the stuff” can become much more manageable.

Driving requires sharp vision. In Kansas, licenses for those 70+ are renewed every 3 years to check acuity and horizontal field of view. Annual eye exams are crucial, even if your prescription hasn't changed, to monitor for age-related changes and common eye diseases. Don't let your vision slide. Kristin has great tips!

What a great morning at the Senior Truth Series! Thank you to the 48 attendees who joined us for Your Next Chapter at Home: Exploring Housing & Equity Options.

It was fun to be both the host and the panelist.

✅ Julie Spaulding, Spaulding Real Estate, shared practical guidance on today's housing options and how to make a move with confidence when the time is right.

✅ Lee Smith, Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, explained how home equity and reverse mortgages can provide additional financial flexibility in retirement.

✅ Maija Diethelm, The Maija Method, encouraged us to start planning early and thoughtfully declutter so we can focus on what matters most in our next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in another engaging discussion. Our mission is to educate, empower, and equip older adults with trusted information and local resources—and we look forward to seeing you at our next Senior Truth Series seminar!
