When Brian died, Adrienne thought there was a will.

They had talked about it. He told her it was done. It wasn’t until after he died that she learned there was no will—and felt the rug pulled out from under everything she thought had been planned for her family’s future.

What followed wasn’t just grief. It was probate, paperwork, debt, uncertainty, and a thousand questions Adrienne never expected to answer while trying to keep her family afloat.

In this deeply personal episode, Adrienne shares what the past few months have really looked like: widow brain, decision fatigue, financial uncertainty, and the guilt and shame that can come with money struggles. 

If you’ve ever lost someone, worried about what would happen if you did, or found yourself responsible for things you never planned to manage, this conversation is for you.
