Annette’s Story: The Experience That Inspired Brightly

Annette’s Story is one of the most personal episodes of The Next Bit, because Brightly didn’t start as a business idea. It began with a family in over their heads. Hannah McQueen and Mark Leishman are joined by Girvan Roberts, who shares the experience of supporting her mother Annette through dementia, falls, hospitalisation, and the escalating realities of aged care in New Zealand. What began as a financial advice meeting between Girvan and Hannah quickly revealed the real issue which had nothing to do with money. It was a myriad of issues including healthcare complexity, timing pressure, family responsibility, and the emotional weight adult children carry when a parent begins to decline. This episode explores: Early signs of dementia The pressure of Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) Keeping a parent at home “as long as possible” The hidden workload on families Why aged-care decisions so often happen in crisis If you’ve supported an aging parent, this episode will resonate. Live well and independent for longer.
