In this episode of the "Journey to Joy" podcast, I, Moyra GOrski delve into the importance of planning for the unexpected with my guest, Jean Hansen, founder of Pathways in Life. Jean shares her personal journey of becoming a trustee for her parents' estate, driven by the need to ensure her sister with an intellectual disability would be cared for. This experience led her to create a business focused on helping others prepare for unforeseen life events.
We also touch on the emotional aspects of dealing with aging parents and the significance of family dynamics. Jean and I both share personal stories about our parents, highlighting the importance of having open conversations about end-of-life wishes and the impact of these discussions on family relationships.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of planning, advocacy, and the power of family connections in navigating life's unpredictable journey.
