Easter Sunday is about reflection, renewal, and what matters most.

It’s often the rare moment when families come together — across generations, across busy lives.

While you’re sitting around the table today, it might be the perfect time to gently start a conversation:

• Who would step in if something unexpected happened?
• Where is important information kept?
• What matters most to each of you?

Not because anything is wrong.
But because life doesn’t always give us time to prepare.

At Critical Info, we believe a little planning now creates a lot more calm later.

Your backup plan starts with a conversation.

In this episode, I sit down with Kathie Shearer, a funeral celebrant of over 20 years, to talk about what really stays with us at the end of life. From her professional experience and personal loss, Kathie shares a powerful truth — it’s the connections, the memories, and the moments of love that matter most.We also reframe end-of-life planning as something meaningful and grounding — not something to avoid, but a simple, thoughtful way to care for the people you love.

In this episode, I speak with funeral celebrant Kathie Shearer about what truly matters at the end of life. It’s not achievements we remember — it’s the love, the memories, and how someone made us feel. Through her personal loss and years of experience, Kathie shares why end-of-life planning isn’t something heavy, but a final act of care — like a love letter to those you leave behind.

Today we recognise the impact of the Good Friday Appeal.
For over 90 years, this incredible initiative has raised vital funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, supporting life-saving care, research, and equipment for children and their families. Every donation — big or small — helps ensure kids across Victoria receive the best possible treatment when they need it most.
If you’re able to, consider contributing or spreading the word. It truly makes a difference.

We explore what truly matters at the end of life, and what people actually remember.

In this episode, psychologist John Malouff explains why so many of us delay important decisions like writing a will or planning for end-of-life care, and what actually helps people move from avoidance to action. Because while death can feel confronting, the real impact lies in how prepared we are before it happens.

John shares practical psychological insights into why procrastination happens, what motivates people to take action, and how even small prompts can help us move from avoidance to preparation. Because while death itself may be confronting, the real impact often comes from what happens before and after it.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW.
Catherine and John Malouff talk about why so many people delay writing a will, completing an advance care directive, or having conversations about their wishes. Often it isn’t about laziness or indifference. It’s fear, uncertainty, and the simple fact that we don’t see other people openly doing it.

Today we remember the millions of lives stolen, silenced, and forever changed by slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. This day is not only about history — it’s about honouring resilience, acknowledging truth, and committing to a future rooted in justice and equality. We carry their stories forward.
