Welcome to ”What’s Next? Navigating Life and Legacy in Alaska,” a podcast designed to help you prepare your family for the future, even when you’re not sure where to begin. Hosted by Liz Smith, an estate planning attorney in Juneau, this podcast offers much more than discussions about who gets what and when. Liz engages in pleasant and practical conversations with industry leaders and community practitioners, exploring questions like: - What is a trust? - What happens if something happens to you? - Do you need a will or estate plan? With the guiding principle of ”Live, Laugh, Leave a Legacy,” we’ll investigate building and leaving your legacy, supporting aging loved ones and parents, and the resources available to assist you. We’ll also delve into topics around birth (including special considerations for new parents), aging, and death that affect us all. Whether you’re feeling uncertain about how to prepare your family for when you’re gone or you’re interested in learning more about life transitions in Alaska, this podcast is here to help. Listen wherever you get your podcasts (you can also find the player at the bottom of the screen on our website). Please subscribe to help more people find us, and we’d love your feedback and ideas for future guests!

Overview:
Nim de Swardt, is a champion for co-generational connections. She understands that more can be achieved when people of all ages come together. Nim has dedicated her life's work to bringing together people of all ages and connecting them through their unique experiences.

As an experienced “lifestorian”, Nim envisions a world where people are connected to themselves and others through lived experiences. Nim is confident that her service can elevate the human experience and be used as an incentive for co-generational bonding. Nim is adamant that sharing our stories with others allows for knowledge to be passed from one generation to the next, and to her that is a win-win.
