LWM 07 - Beyond the Estate Plan

In Episode 07 of Live with Mollie, I’m reflecting on my past work in older adult services and how it connects to the conversations I have now about preserving photo legacies.

My guest, Judith Guertin, a professional organizer and author of Beyond the Estate Plan also works with older adults. She recently took my class and brings her perspective on saving family memories and stories. We’ll explore why saving your photos matters more than ever.

Plus, I’ll share the latest news in the photo organizing world and answer a few questions from my viewers.
