Have you ever considered the weight and responsibility of being in charge after a loved one passed away?
In this episode of the Thank Me Later Show with Jini, we discuss the unique challenges and rewards of being a family's financial leader and being in charge of wrapping up a loved one’s affairs. Our guest, Teyonna Ridgeway, shares her personal experience of taking on this role years ago and how it heightened after losing her mom and being responsible for her affairs.
From choosing to take her mom off of life support to understanding the power of organization, in this episode you will get an up-close-and-personal look at leading with grace through grief.
Be sure to share this episode with someone who recently lost a loved one - they will appreciate your support! #thankmelater!
