In this episode of the Listen for Life Aphasia podcast, host Genevieve Richardson talks with Glenda Molina, a wealth advisor from Austin, Texas, about the importance of financial planning for individuals affected by strokes and aphasia. Glenda shares her expertise in helping clients achieve financial stability and freedom after health crises.

Glenda discusses her approach to financial planning, which includes consolidating accounts, ensuring access to resources, and creating a clear financial roadmap. She emphasizes the importance of early financial planning, especially for those with progressive neurological conditions, and highlights the role of long-term care insurance and cash flow analysis in maintaining living arrangements and care costs.
