What happens with your spouse’s job, benefits and health insurance if they suddenly pass away? Would you know who to call?

In this episode of The Laila France Show, I sit down with award winning HR executive, bestselling author and international speaker Dustin Johns to discuss what every spouse should know before a crisis happens.

We cover who to contact, life insurance, beneficiaries, final paychecks, PTO, 401(k)s, COBRA, death certificates and the important questions families often don’t know to ask.

This conversation is for anyone who wants to make sure the person they love isn’t left trying to figure everything out alone.

Know who to call. Know what you have. Be prepared.

Know Before You Need To. 🩷

What happens when life changes unexpectedly and you’re left asking, Who am I now, and what comes next?

In this episode of The Laila France Show, I sit down with award winning global presence and branding strategist Elizabeth de Moraes for a deeply personal conversation about reinvention, confidence, identity, and finding the courage to step into your next chapter.

We talk about rebuilding after loss and major life transitions, recognizing the value of the roles and experiences you already carry, finding your voice, walking into new rooms knowing you belong there, and surrounding yourself with the right women who will support, challenge, and lift you as you grow.

Elizabeth also shares her own journey from being painfully shy to becoming a professional dancer, choreographer, international speaker, and coach, and why the parts of our past we sometimes underestimate may become some of our greatest strengths in what we build next.

Because reinvention doesn’t mean leaving your past behind. It means carrying what it taught you forward and having the courage to say yes to what comes next.

Know Before You Need To.

Welcome to the first episode of The Laila France Show. After suddenly losing my husband, James, at just 45 years old, I found myself navigating decisions and responsibilities I never imagined I would have to face alone. From funeral arrangements, finances, bank accounts, wills, estate planning, insurance, passwords, and probate to caring for my son while trying to understand what came next was overwhelming. I quickly learned how much we had never discussed and how many things I simply didn’t know.

These experiences became the reason why I created The Laila France Show: to bring trusted experts, practical guidance, honest conversations, and resources together in one place so women can feel informed, empowered, and better prepared for life’s unexpected moments.
In this episode, I share my story, what I learned through the experience, and the important conversations I believe every woman and family should have before the unexpected happens. We talk about knowing where important documents need to be kept, having access to financial accounts and passwords, reviewing wills and beneficiaries, understanding trusts and probate, discussing end-of-life wishes, and surrounding yourself with the right support system during times of loss and major life changes.

I have poured my heart and soul into this show and hope you feel the love.
