Join the waitlist today: don’t forget!

You’ll be the first to know when registration opens for this essential mini-course.

This program will transform the way you think about dementia.

Thursday September 25 12 pm PST (live & recorded for later viewing)

Dementia is so much more than memory loss. It touches every part of a person’s life, and every relationship around them.

The more we understand now, the better we can protect ourselves and the people we love most.

In this mini-course, we’ll explore what dementia really is (and isn’t), how it impacts individuals and families, what falls under the “dementia umbrella,” and early signs to watch for.

We’ll also cover practical steps for mitigating risk and how to seek help when needed.

I’d love to see you there.

Spots will fill quickly when registration opens so get on the waitlist today.

Wondering if Prep School is right for you?

Maybe you’re thinking…

❓ I’m not Canadian
❓ I don’t have kids
❓ I already have a Will

But the thing is, as long as you’re mortal, this class IS for you!

✅ Planning isn’t just about legal forms.
✅ You don’t need to be a parent to NEED a plan. In fact, I might argue it’s even MORE important for single/childless folks!
✅ And even if you have a Will, that’s just one very small piece of the puzzle.

Prep School offers a truly holistic, guided approach to getting your affairs in order — for all parts of life, including the end of it.

✨ Next session starts Sept 15th
✨ Join live or catch the replays
✨ New video-bank and ongoing office hours

Hit the link in my bio or comment “Tell me more” and I’ll send the info your way. 💌

ps: it sells out every time. I know there is never a “perfect” time for you to do this. But you gotta get it done!!

A death-denying society makes everything harder.

Today is the American day of Grief Awareness. We have our own day in November in Canada.

We are a death-illiterate AND a@grief illiterate society.

And that truly just makes everything harder.

Everything.

Sending my love to you, especially my American friends and followers, on this tender day.

Let’s learn together. It’s hard. But not as hard as not knowing…

And after all, we have each other ❤️
