Welcome back to the podcast and to Episode 2, where we’re diving into a topic that everyone faces but few feel prepared for: difficult conversations. Today, I’m joined by my friends, and two incredible sisters, Jane and Nancy, who bring honesty, warmth, and real-world insight to the table. Together, we explore why tough conversations matter, how to approach them with confidence, and what they've learned from their own experiences.
Episode 1 – The Importance Of A Will
For this episode, I am joined by Sue O’Loughlin from Cornerstone Wills. Our conversation delves into the critical importance of having a Will, addressing common misconceptions, the consequences of not having one, and key considerations in the Will writing process.
We chat about the need for education on Wills, the role of Executors, and the impact of not having a Will on surviving family members.
We also discuss the importance of choosing the right Will writer, the costs involved, and the necessity of open conversations about estate planning.
Having a Will is one of the most important things you can do for your family, and peace of mind for you.
