The Empowered Estate

This is a gift for the one left behind to close up your life.

It’s inevitable they will need all the information in this planner.

Shelley and I combined our extensive experience supporting people after the death of their loved one and created the ultimate tool…with 2 different covers so you can choose which one suits you more!

If you’re waiting for a sign to start getting yourself organized, this is it. We’re on Amazon, how easy is that!

What if something happened while you were on vacation?

Would your family know:

Who your doctor is?
What medications you’re on?
Who to call first?

Emergencies don’t wait for the “right time.” That’s why the very first section of The Empowered Estate Planner is all about Emergency Info and Personal Details.

Today’s the day to open your planner and fill out one page - just one.

☀️ Just Released: "The Empowered Estate Planner - Before I Go" is
NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon featuring a new cover inspired by the natural beauty of British Columbia.

Summer in British Columbia is something special.
Still lakes that reflect the sky.
Towering evergreens that make you pause.
Mountains that remind you to focus on what will matter most in the end.

It’s a place, and a season, that invites us to slow down, take a breath, and think about the legacy we want to leave behind.

That’s exactly what inspired our newest cover of The Empowered Estate Planner. Rooted in the natural beauty of British Columbia, this edition carries the calm of a quiet paddle and the peace that follows when life’s loose ends are finally tied.

Inside you’ll find practical checklists, thoughtful prompts, and a gentle way to record your wishes, personal, legal, and everything in between.

Whether you're starting your own plan or encouraging someone you love to begin theirs, this guide offers what British Columbia offers best: calm perspective, grounded strength, and space to reflect.

Because peace of mind isn’t just about what you leave behind
It’s about how you live, love, and prepare - before you go.

📣 It’s here and NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON !

The Empowered Estate Planner has officially launched on Amazon.

This is more than a planner, it’s a gift. A guided space. A legacy of love.

This resource was born from years of walking beside families through some of life’s most difficult moments.

We’ve seen what it looks like when people are prepared… and when they’re not.

We created this for every family:
To give your loved ones a roadmap instead of a mess.
To offer peace of mind instead of panic.
To leave behind your voice, your care, and your thoughtfulness.

This is for the people we love the most…

Share your wishes, instructions, legacy messages, and the heart behind your decisions in one beautiful planner. It’s a keepsake your family will be grateful for, and the support your executor needs when the time comes.

📣Planner Cover Reveal

After weeks of behind-the-scenes work (and your incredible feedback!), we are SO excited to reveal the first official cover of The Empowered Estate Planner - a design inspired by the beauty and boldness of Alberta.

Like Alberta, this planner is grounded and resilient.

It’s made for the ones who plan ahead not out of fear, but out of love. The ones who want to leave things better for the people they care about most.

More beautiful designs are coming soon, because we know one style doesn’t speak to everyone. And legacy deserves to feel personal.

So, what do you think of Cover #1?

Today is Advance Care Planning Day. Let’s have the conversation nobody wants to start, but everybody needs to have.
💪🏼
13 years ago, my dad ended up in the hospital.
Fast.
No warning.
The kind of moment that splits your life into before and after.
And suddenly, my family and I were all standing around asking:�“What would he want?”�“Who’s allowed to make decisions?”�“Does he even have a plan?”
We were scared.
We were guessing.
We were grieving … and still trying to figure out what came next.
Here’s the truth:�💛If you’re over 18, you can make an advance care plan.�💛If you have opinions about how you want to live, be cared for, or die, you need to write them down.�💛If you love someone, this is one of the most powerful gifts you can give them.
It doesn’t have to be hard.�It doesn’t have to be perfect.�But it does have to be done.
That’s why we created The Empowered Estate …. to help you get clear, get organized, and actually finish the hard stuff, with guidance and support.
So today, in honour of Advance Care Planning Day, we’re inviting you to start with one small, brave thing:�💜Let someone you trust know what matters most to you, before it becomes urgent.
You don’t have to do it all today.�But you do have to start.
And we can help ❤️

Cremation is the most common choice in BC. But cremation is not the final step. If you don’t leave clear instructions about what to do with your cremated remains, your loved ones are left guessing.
⁣
Scattering in the ocean? Tucked into the garden? Turned into jewellery (yes being turned into a diamond is a thing).
⁣
The choices are vast, and personal.
⁣
If you don't make a plan, someone else will make it for you. And that can cause conflict, confusion, and even delay closure.
⁣
So tell us: If it were up to you, where would your ashes go?
⁣
Drop it in the comments or start the convo with someone you love.

With everything going on in the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by uncertainty.

So focus on what you can control. Getting your passwords written down, your accounts documented, thinking about your healthcare preferences and having those vulnerable conversations with loved ones. All these can bring real peace of mind. Not just for you, but for the people you love.

April is Advance Care Planning Month and there’s no better time to start.

We’re here to guide you, step by step, with tools, support, and a community to keep you grounded and motivated.

Let’s do it, together.
