In our third episode, Kim and Sarah sit down with Erin Bury and Leisse Wilcox to unpack one of the biggest taboos out there - death. The reality is that aging, illness, and ultimately, death, are a natural part of the human process. Yet, no one wants to talk about it for fear of sounding morbid or inconsiderate. What’s worse is that due to the lack of conversation around death, there’s also a lack of planning, which causes high losses and complicated processes for grieving families. The four discuss how Erin Bury’s company Willful is changing the narrative around estate planning, Leisse Wilcox’s experiences with illness and her perspective on death, and what listeners can do to be prepared.Learn more about Erin Bury: https://www.willful.co/authors/erin-bury Learn more about Leisse Wilcox: https://leissewilcox.ca/
