Solo and Smart is a channel for adults navigating life independently—and wanting to stay in control of their lives before crisis forces decisions.

This channel is for people living alone, planning on their own, or aging without built-in family support who want clarity, confidence, and direction for what lies ahead.

Hosted by Carol Marak, creator of the Life Plan Assessment and a national voice in life and longevity planning, Solo and Smart explores the real questions independent adults face—health, housing, finances, legal planning, social connection, purpose, and personal agency.

Find:

Practical life planning frameworks for people living independently

Guidance for those planning for the future without family backup

Conversations that normalize independence without isolation

Tools that support confident decision-making at every stage of life

This channel goes beyond traditional retirement planning.
It is about staying self-directed, prepared, and in control—on your own terms.
