The Legacy of Love: Estate Planning Simplified for Mothers
If something happened to you tomorrow… would your family know what to do?
Estate planning can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to keep putting it off, thinking you’ll get to it tomorrow. You know it matters, but you’re not sure who to trust or where to start.
Only 1 in 3 families have an estate plan in place. That statistic is sobering when you realize death is the only guarantee in life. Not taking action can cost your family time, money, and peace.
‘The Legacy of Love’ podcast simplifies estate planning for mothers in the sandwich generation—those raising children while caring for aging parents—so you can plan with confidence, ditch the overwhelm, and leave a legacy that reflects your values and your vision.
Episodes air weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays.
In each episode, you’ll:
• Learn from heart-led experts what a thoughtful estate plan really includes
• Navigate hard topics like challenging family dynamics and end-of-life care
• Discover practical tools beyond your estate plan to reduce overwhelm, support your decision-making, and plan comprehensively with clarity and confidence
Hosted by Sara Ecklein—a Licensed Professional Fiduciary, private trustee, and mother—this podcast offers guidance that goes far beyond legal documents. Because legacy isn’t a destination; it’s a living practice that evolves as you do.
Don’t wait for a crisis to start your estate plan. Start today—with intention, clarity, and love.
