Hi there,
2025 brought a lot of firsts for me. I started my own business, I launched a podcast, and my husband and I moved our family to a new place we now call home.
If you’ve ever relocated or had to re-create yourself, you know it’s not all roses and sunshine. I’m still finding my footing. But through the change, I grew in ways I hadn’t expected and gained a perspective that was missing during my 12 years practicing law.
Fifty-five episodes of
The Death Readiness Podcast, countless listener questions, and deeply personal conversations with clients led me to create
The Death Readiness Playbook. It’s my collective answer to the gaps I kept seeing—the space between legal documents and real life, between what the law assumes and what families actually have.
Here’s the pattern I see over and over again: People tell themselves they’ll “get to” estate planning later. After the kids are older, after things slow down, after they find the right lawyer, after they can afford it, after they finally understand it.
But “later” keeps moving. Estate planning feels too expensive before you even know what you need, too complicated to tackle without help, too overwhelming to start without a clear entry point.
So people don’t start at all. And then — families are left making decisions in crisis, guessing at answers, and trying to piece together information that was never written down.
This new year can be a new start, even if you don’t feel ready…especially if you don’t feel ready. I created
The Death Readiness Playbook for you, for this exact moment.
