Unavoidable, Adventures in Aging
The idea for Unavoidable came about when Sue, Shan, along with their two siblings realized their parents were not “Nucking Futs” they were just aging. As adult children of aging parents, they discovered they weren’t sailing this boat solo. Fast forward to today, Sue and Shan are facing the music that they too are not immune to the aging process and they are not about to keep mum about it! Cue the birth of their podcast, where they spill the beans and share their wisdom with the universe.
