This may be one of the hardest conversations you'll have with your parents but it will save a lot of frustration, waiting, and headache when the time actually comes. Today's episode is all around the legal side of end of life planning and how assets transfer over. I want to share the reality of what this looks like and I want to share what actions I took so I can properly grieve when the time comes and I'm not also worried about this side of it.

My eye is back on its bullshit if you've been watching my stories and I had to get another surgery that hopefully will permanently allow my retina to reattach but it's a long recovery road ahead. Only being able to see out of one eye at the beginning was rough and it got me to thinking about today's topic. I want to talk about the concept of glimmers in your life and recognizing these small moments of joy in life and how this can be a powerful resilience tool for your life.

Whitney Shanahan is a national pro choice advocate and former Democratic Congressional candidate in California. However Whitney grew up conservative Christian in the Bible Belt. She left the Republican Party and her conservative upbringing after Trump won the presidency.

While pregnant with her son in 2019 Whitney was questioned about what she had done to cause possible pregnancy complications - while seeking help in the ER. Because at that time, the red state she was living in was working to pass a 6 week abortion ban. Whitney went home from the ER shaken and scared - she researched and found that hundreds of women had been arrested and detained for their pregnancies and miscarriages.

Whitney immediately became an activist. Whitney has led hundreds of pro-choice rallies across the country, launched a petition to defend abortion rights with over 270,000 signatures, and built an engaged community of over 500,000 followers on TikTok, and 40,000 on instagram- including pro choice celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell.

In 2024 Whitney ran for US Congress in California and plans to run again.

In this episode, we discuss Whitney's story, common misconceptions around late term abortions, what women need to know about no fault divorces, and so much more!
