Brick for Phones (Save 10%)
If I die in a blizzard… does my kid know where the folder is?
That’s not anxiety.
That’s logistics.
In this episode, I’m talking about something we are terrible at as a society:
Preparing for death.
Not in a morbid way.
Not in a fearful way.
In a practical way.
Because if you’ve ever lost someone close to you, you know:
The week after someone dies is chaos.
Paperwork.
Phone calls.
Passwords.
Decisions.
Funeral arrangements.
Assets.
Access.
All while actively grieving.
In this episode I cover:
Why every parent needs a will (even if you “don’t have assets”)
Choosing guardians and putting it in writing
Why passwords are everything
What’s actually in my “death folder”
Trusts, beneficiaries, and pour-over wills
Making funeral decisions in advance
Why I update my obituary photo
Why you need access to your spouse’s financial info
Why you should sit down with aging parents now
How decline can happen fast
Why strength training matters as we age
How to make it easy on the living
This episode isn’t morbid.
It’s responsible.
We need to get better at dying.
That means:
Having the hard conversation.
Writing things down.
Organizing your life.
Making it simple for the people left behind.
You can be lighthearted about it.
You can joke about your obituary photo.
But you still need the folder.
Put your phone down — and go start one.
