THE SAGE PATHWAYS PODCAST · NEW EPISODES EVERY TWO WEEKS
The experts families wish they had met before the crisis, in conversation.
Elder law attorneys, financial advisors, physicians, Medicare specialists, realtors, and care providers — talking plainly with Sun-Hee Yoon about the decisions that shape how we age. No sales pitch. No jargon. Just the people who do this work every day, explaining what they know.
For families planning ahead or caring for a parent right now
For professionals who want to understand the disciplines next to their own
For experts who would rather educate than advertise
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR
Real expertise, in the order families
actually need it.
Expert conversations
Attorneys, advisors, clinicians, brokers, and care providers explain what they see families get wrong, what they wish clients knew earlier, and what a good decision looks like from inside their profession.
Caregiver stories
Adult children, spouses, and older adults share what the road actually looked like — the moment things changed, the calls they made, and what they would do differently.
What to do this week
Each episode closes with the concrete next step — the document to sign, the question to ask, the deadline to watch — so listening turns into action, not more anxiety.
Every guest is a working practitioner in one of the six domains Sage navigates. We ask the questions a daughter, a son, or a spouse would ask if they had an hour with that expert and no reason to hold back.

YOUR HOST
Sun-Hee Yoon asks what families ask — because she sits with them every two weeks.
As founder of Sage Lifestyle Concierge, Sun-Hee spends her days navigating legal, financial, healthcare, insurance, real estate, and housing decisions alongside Chicagoland families. She is a Dementia Connection Specialist, serves on the Illinois Family Caregiver Coalition Advocacy Task Force, and is a family caregiver herself. Those conversations are where every episode's questions come from.
Recorded at Narratent Studio in Chicago's South Loop · Produced with Allen C. Shelton and Desmon Walker
FOR EXPERTS: BE A GUEST
An hour of teaching that keeps working for you long after it airs.
Sage Pathways is not an advertising slot. It is a seat at the table for practitioners who explain their field generously — and that generosity is exactly what earns a family's trust.
The right audience, already listening
Families in the middle of aging decisions, and the advisors, attorneys, and clinicians who serve them — people who need what you do, at the moment they are deciding whom to trust
Credibility by association with an independent brand
Sage takes no commissions and recommends no one for a fee. Appearing as an educator on an independent platform says something about you that a paid ad never can.
A permanent, shareable asset
Your episode lives on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, is featured in Sage Insights, and becomes a link you can send to every prospective client who asks "how do you think about this?"
A professional production, and a real conversation
Recorded in studio with a production team, prepared questions, and a host who has already had this conversation with dozens of families. You bring your expertise; we handle the rest.
Guests appear as educators. Being featured on Sage Pathways does not place a guest in Sage's Trusted Alliance Network and never influences the guidance Sage gives a family — which is precisely why listeners trust what they hear.
NOW ACCEPTING
Guest contributors and founding sponsors for the [current season] cycle

FOR EXPERTS: BE A GUEST
Put your organization behind the education families are searching for.
A small number of organizations underwrite the Sage Pathways season. Sponsors are named in every episode of their cycle and in Sage Insights, receive the 2026 Special Edition placement described in the media kit, and align their brand with an independent, education-first platform rather than a directory or a lead-generation service.
