HOW WE BEGAN...AND WHERE ARE NOW
For over 21 years, I worked as a legal assistant, guiding families through the legal side of losing a loved one—probate, court approvals, and the distribution of assets. On paper, it all looked orderly.
BUT when my own father-in-law passed away, I saw what families truly face behind the scenes.
We were left sorting through his belongings, trying to answer urgent questions: What did he own? Where was it? Who did he owe? Instead of focusing on grieving, we were juggling paperwork, searching for information, and managing chaos—all while working full-time and keeping life on track.
That’s when I made a promise: I would never leave my children with the same burden. I began building a system to keep everything organized and accessible, not just for legal purposes, but for life’s emergencies. Soon, I realized this system wasn’t just for my family—it was something every family needed. That’s how BEFORE YA DIE was born.
BEFORE YA DIE
Phase 1 – I combined two decades of probate experience with my family’s story to write Prevent the Chaos: A Plan to Make Life’s Emergencies (and Your Death) Easier on You and Your Family.
Phase 2 – I worked one-on-one with families, guiding them step-by-step to create their own personalized emergency plans. Because let’s be honest—it’s always easier when someone walks alongside you than when you’re left to figure it out alone.
Phase 3 – Today, I’ve taken the workshop online, making it possible for families everywhere to get their information organized. The self-paced, guided system helps people prepare no matter where they live—bringing peace of mind to anyone ready to take control before the next emergency happens.
