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.

About Amy Shaw:
Amy Shaw never set out to become an end-of-life concierge. But after years of living abroad and raising ten children—four biological and six adopted—her world shifted when her husband Brian was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Together, they made a radical choice: to celebrate his life rather than fear the end. That journey inspired Walk the Red, Amy’s signature program that empowers individuals and caregivers with a compassionate protocol for dying well.
