What if planning for the inevitable could actually be an act of LOVE?

In Episode 70 of This Girl Podcast, Daisy sits down for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Lori Friedman, founder of The Love Policy, to discuss the importance of legacy planning, estate planning, and life insurance. Together, they explore how transforming the often-avoided topic of death into an open conversation about love can bring peace, comfort, and confidence to those you leave behind.

Daisy and Lori dive deep into the emotional side of end-of-life planning, the stigma around talking about death, and how reframing these discussions can offer peace of mind, financial security, and emotional comfort for your family during the hardest moments. Lori’s goal is to not only help families prepare practically, but to also transform the industry narrative — making planning for the inevitable feel less like a burden, and more like the best act of LOVE and beautiful final gift.

Lori shares her personal journey from decades in the insurance industry to creating The Love Policy Box, a simple yet powerful tool that helps families organize legal documents, prepare essential financial information, and ensure loved ones are fully supported after a loss. They dive into why life insurance is an act of love, how to start difficult conversations about end-of-life planning, and why proper preparation can save families from financial and emotional stress.

Whether you're looking to learn more about lestate planning for beginners, or how to protect your family’s financial future, this episode provides actionable advice and emotional insight to help you take the first step.
