In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we’re diving into one of the most avoided — yet absolutely essential — conversations in personal finance: estate planning. Host [Your Name] sits down with Alexandra Sepulveda, Head of Legal at Trust & Will, to break down the myths, cultural taboos, and emotional barriers that often keep us from preparing for the inevitable.

Alexandra shares her deeply personal journey that began after a close brush with tragedy in her own family — and how that experience ignited her passion for helping others protect their legacy. Together, they discuss how to start the conversation with loved ones, why estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy, and how digital tools like Trust & Will are breaking down barriers to make legacy planning more accessible than ever.

From defining what an “estate” really is (hint: it’s everything you own!) to understanding the difference between a will and a trust, this episode is your crash course in protecting your hard-earned assets and ensuring your loved ones are cared for — without the financial chaos.
