We're At The Age Love Looks Like A Plan

What happens when we stop treating death like a surprise? In this episode, Lauren Ponder joins us for a deeply human conversation about end-of-life planning, grief, legacy, and the courage it takes to talk about what comes next. Through her work with With Love Events, Lauren helps individuals and families navigate difficult conversations with compassion, intention, and even moments of humor. Together, we discuss the emotional weight families carry when plans are left unspoken, the beauty of meaningful celebrations of life, and how preparing ahead can become one final act of love for the people we leave behind. This episode is an invitation not to fear the conversation, but to finally begin it. More from Lauren: withlove.events
