Re-Release: Legacy Planning and Ethical Wills — The What and How of What Matters Most with Susan Turnbull
59m | Oct 7, 2026We’re revisiting our conversation with Susan Turnbull, originally released as part of our Death + Dying series, to explore the stories, values, and life lessons we want to share with those we love.
Susan is the founder and Principal of Personal Legacy Advisors and the author of The Wealth of Your Life: A Step-by-Step Guide for Creating Your Ethical Will. Her work helps people put their experiences, hopes, and personal wisdom into words that can connect generations.
In this conversation, Susan and Ashley explore ethical wills: personal legacy documents that communicate the emotional, spiritual, and ethical values we wish to pass on. They discuss how to begin reflecting on our own legacies, the fears and discomfort that can accompany conversations about death, and how this process can deepen our relationships while we’re here.
Whether you’re hearing this episode for the first time or returning to it, we hope it offers a starting point for meaningful conversations—and encouragement to share the things that too often go unsaid.
