In this episode of Journeys of No So Ordinary People podcast Dr. Dave and Dr. Joe have a conversation with military spouse and Gold Star spouse Krista Anderson as she guides listeners through the vital but often overlooked practice of planning for the unexpected. Drawing on deeply personal experience—losing her husband, a decorated Green Beret, in combat—she emphasizes the importance of preemptively understanding and organizing essential logistics: everything from knowing how to shut off the main water valve and access household accounts, to ensuring vital documents like passwords, usernames, death benefits, and last wishes are accessible to loved ones. She encourages couples to approach tough topics like funeral preferences and estate details in a lighthearted, proactive way—like making planning part of a “date night.” Christa also underscores the value of consolidating all necessary information—bills, asset details, financial account logins, powers of attorney, wills, trust arrangements for children, and emergency contacts—into a centralized binder or cloud folder. Her practical advice extends to leveraging resources such as JAG offices, aid societies, and free estate-planning tools to simplify these preparations and reduce the burden on survivors.JONSOP https://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.com Krista Andersonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/krista-s-anderson/https://www.theunquietprofessional.org/krista@theunquietprofessional.orgDr. Joe Hamlett ⁠dr.joehamlett@gmail.com⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠PeltzCS@outlook.com⁠ ⁠https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠ https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.
