In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I talk with author, coach, and six-time bestselling writer Maya Dionne, also known as The Bounce Back Widow. Maya shares the heartbreaking story of losing her husband suddenly on Easter Sunday, and the devastating impact it had on her and her two young children. She opens up about navigating guilt, trauma, and survival in the aftermath, and how she slowly began to reconnect with herself, symbolised by the hot pink shoes she wore to his funeral. We discuss: • Maya's journey into widowhood at just 27 years old • Facing grief while raising two young children alone • The pressure of societal and family expectations around funerals and grieving • How small acts of colour and courage helped her reclaim a sense of self • The role of intuition, self-trust, and personal truth in healing • Writing her bestselling book Bounce Back Better and empowering other widows • Why she calls herself “The Bounce Back Widow” and what that really means Maya's energy, honesty, and wisdom are both inspiring and grounding. If you've ever wondered how to rebuild after devastating loss, or how to rediscover the parts of yourself that grief can bury, this episode offers strength, hope, and vibrant encouragement. Awakening Hope I'd love you to join me for Awakening Hope, a free five-day immersive experience for widows and surviving partners, running 22–26 September 2025.

Pillars and Practices // Give and Serve  GIVING IS ABOUT AUTHORITY Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV)“You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Proverbs 3:9-10 (ESV)“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”  GIVING IS ABOUT OBEDIENCE Luke 6:38 (NIV)“Give and it will be given to you.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 (NIV)“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”  GIVING IS ABOUT PRIORITIES Proverbs 11:24–25 (NIV)“One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 (ESV)“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”   GIVING IS A VALUES ISSUE Malachi 3:8–12 (NLT)“Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! “But you ask, ‘What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?' “You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not fall from the vine before they are ripe,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. “Then all nations will call you blessed, for your land will be such a delight,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies.” Matthew 6:19–21 (ESV)“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  Our heart motive matters more than money. The story of The Widow's Offering (Mark 12:41-44) illustrates God's hope for our motivation toward generosity.  GIVING IS A TRUST ISSUE Matthew 6:26-33 (ESV)“Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you, by being anxious, can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Luke 6:38 (TLB)“If you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use to give–large or small–will be used to measure what is given back to you.”  GIVING IS ABOUT GOD'S KINGDOM ADVANCING 1 Corinthians 16:2 (ESV)“On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.”  SERVING IS THE SAME IN MANY WAYS - Generosity with our Time and Talents As we give of ourselves, we get our eyes off ourselves. We become less aware of our own needs as we serve others.  Finding Personal Fulfillment in Giving You are never more like Jesus than when you serve and give. Matthew 20:28 says, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”  Will We Allow God to Have Authority?

In this heartfelt episode of the Brain Soul Success Show, Dr. Louise sits down with Dawn Paterson, founder of The Wise Widow, to explore her courageous journey of turning deep personal loss into a mission of helping others heal. On September 1, 2023, Dawn's life changed forever when her husband of 32 years, Daryl, passed away. Just three months later, while still in the depths of her own grief, Dawn made the brave decision to transform her pain into purpose by creating The Wise Widow. With a background in adult education, Dawn brings both compassion and practical wisdom to her grief support programs—offering one-on-one connection calls, small group support, workshops, and retreats. Her vision is simple yet profound: no widow should ever have to walk this path alone. Dawn courageously stepped into the Brain System process with Dr. Louise. As she shared her story, she uncovered how the weight of grief was showing up not only emotionally, but physically and energetically. Through the Brain System TM, Dawn released layers of heaviness, reconnected with her inner strength, and gained a renewed sense of clarity around her mission. She described the process as deeply freeing—shifting her perspective from simply surviving to truly carrying her husband's legacy forward with light and purpose. We cleared energy on two properties and her son's house sold for $10,000 MORE!  We used the BRAIN System TM to clear the property they wanted and that came through with a twist! An even better property came up for less investment. YES!  The Power of the BRAIN System!   What You'll Learn in This Episode: How Dawn turned her personal tragedy into a purpose-driven mission The heart and vision behind The Wise Widow Why grief is not something to “get over,” but something to honor and gently transform How community and support can become sources of strength, connection, and even light Dawn's long-term dream to make The Wise Widow a household name for spousal grief support Dawn's firsthand experience of the Brain System—and how it opened a new path of healing and empowerment   Tune in to hear Dawn's inspiring story of resilience, legacy, and love.

Luke 18:1-8 Have you ever prayed for something over and over, and it felt like no one was listening? In today's episode, we hear Jesus tell a parable — a special story with a deeper meaning — about a woman who didn't give up. She kept going to a judge who didn't care about God or people. She begged for justice until he finally gave in. Jesus used this story to teach us something powerful: God is not like that unfair judge. God is good, just, and always listening to our prayers. In this episode, kids will learn: What a parable is. What justice means in words they can understand What it means to be persistent Why Jesus wants us to keep praying and not lose heart. Together we'll see how God hears us when we pray and promises to make all things right in His perfect timing. -------------------------------

When one spouse passes away, the survivor often faces what is known as the “widow's tax.” It is not an official IRS tax, but the impact of moving from married to single tax brackets. A couple earning $120,000 in the 12 percent bracket can see the surviving spouse pushed into the 24 percent bracket with the same income. This tax bracket compression happens at the most vulnerable time.Watch as James outlines three strategies that help protect a surviving spouse from this financial burden. Strategic Roth conversions can reduce future tax exposure by shifting assets from pre-tax to Roth while in lower brackets. Maximizing Social Security benefits creates a stronger income floor through survivorship benefits. Understanding and applying the IRS life expectancy tables for Required Minimum Distributions ensures more efficient withdrawals.These approaches require careful timing and planning, but they can ease the long-term financial impact on a surviving spouse. Proactive strategies today can secure greater financial stability for tomorrow.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

We've all seen grand gestures, but what about the small ones that go unnoticed? In Luke 21, Jesus watches as the wealthy fill the temple treasury with their offerings. Then, a poor widow steps forward and gives two tiny coins. It’s a moment that could have been easily missed, but Jesus sees it all. This episode goes beyond the coins and into the heart of the woman herself. What compelled her to give everything she had? Join us as we uncover her deep trust in God's provision, her unwavering desire to be a part of His work, and the profound truth that genuine generosity is measured not by our abundance, but by the will to give from our very core.

St. Jane Frances De Chantal - Wife, Mother, Widow and Foundress of the Visitation Order (August 12). While married, Jane ably managed her husband's estate to provide for the care of the poor and the disenfranchised. After the untimely death of her husband of nine years who was accidentally shot in a hunting accident, she retreated into prayer and an austere life. She met Francis de Sales in Dijon, France (in 1604) and together, they founded the Congregation of the Visitation, a Religious Order that welcomed women who were unable to join existing Orders because of their age or infirmity. By the time of her death in 1641, Jane Frances De Chantal had founded over 85 convents of Visitation Sisters.

St. Jane Frances De Chantal - Wife, Mother, Widow and Foundress of the Visitation Order (August 12). While married, Jane ably managed her husband's estate to provide for the care of the poor and the disenfranchised. After the untimely death of her husband of nine years who was accidentally shot in a hunting accident, she retreated into prayer and an austere life. She met Francis de Sales in Dijon, France (in 1604) and together, they founded the Congregation of the Visitation, a Religious Order that welcomed women who were unable to join existing Orders because of their age or infirmity. By the time of her death in 1641, Jane Frances De Chantal had founded over 85 convents of Visitation Sisters.

Tim Barker is the founder of ROI Ministry and author of BOOM: What To Do When Life Blows Up Around You. His journey into generosity began after rising from humble beginnings to great success—only to lose everything during a season of deep trial. In the middle of that valley, God answered a “dangerous” prayer Tim had prayed years earlier: that the Lord would do whatever it took to multiply his family's kingdom impact. Out of that refining season came ROI Ministry, an organization that has since helped direct millions of dollars to high-impact ministries around the world. In time, God restored what Tim had lost and entrusted him with a voice of influence in the global generosity movement.     Through ROI Ministry, Tim and his team identify the Top 10 ministries producing the greatest measurable kingdom impact per dollar, helping givers steward their resources with confidence and purpose. In his book, BOOM, Tim shares his own story as a living testimony that God can bring blessings out of brokenness and truly work all things together for His glory and our good.    Tim was one of the very first guests on The Finish Line Podcast nearly four years ago, and much has changed since then—for ROI Ministry, for Tim, and for us here at Finish Line. In this conversation, Tim digs deeper into the heart of high-impact giving and reflects on what it looks like to trust God through both abundance and loss, offering wisdom for all who long to walk faithfully in the life of generosity.   Major Topics Include: Making a difference from where you are now The need to be honest with God in tough times Moving from failure to fruitfulness Blessing others by letting them help you Hearing the Spirit's leading in the midst of trials Seeking God in times of silence Giving from your mind as well as your heart Embracing both Spirit-led giving and cost-effective generosity A call to invest more in the local church  What to look for in a high-impact organization  Thinking through measurable Kingdom impact per dollar QUOTES TO REMEMBER “God, what do you want me to do?” “My story is really about not giving up, because you don't know what God is doing through times of refining and where He's going to take you.” “It's ok to want to give up as long as you've decided in advance that you're not going to.” “Be honest with God.” “Ninety-seven percent of all Christian giving is going to nations that have already been evangelized, and less than one-third of one percent is actually making it to the billion lost, poorest people in the world who are 3,000 times more receptive to the gospel.” “I believe in testing God with the tithe.” “You will find joy, hope, and purpose in helping others in ways that make the greatest impact.” “If you have an opportunity to impact thousands of people rather than just a few, then impact the thousands.” “Eternity is going to be a long, long time, and the more people we impact here, the more we'll meet over there. And not that we get the credit—God gets the glory. He just gives us the opportunity to be in the game.” “When you've been faithful, you know that you're doing what God's called you to do, and you're doing it for the right reason, eventually you will see a harvest.” “As stewards of God's wealth, are we encouraging others to do the same thing?” LINKS FROM THE SHOW See our first interview with Tim Barker here BOOM: What To Do When Life Blows Up Around You by Tim Barker EQUIP ROI Ministry National Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills) Ronald Blue and Co.

For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”   Matthew 22:37 | Love God with All You Are   And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.   ​​1 Timothy 5:8 | Care for Your Family   But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.   Malachi 3:10 | Put Me to the Test   Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

Welcome to a new week here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast! I'm your host, Ashley Micciche. This past weekend, I was camping in 100-degree heat with my kids, while my husband had the wisdom to stay home in the air conditioning with our youngest. I was busy packing and stuffing four bikes, three camping totes, two propane tanks, and—yes—basically a partridge in a pear tree into our minivan. So instead of the usual short daily episodes, I'm mixing things up this week and bringing you one longer episode. One of the realities of being a financial advisor is death. Clients die, and it usually happens at least a couple of times a year. When it does, and there's a surviving spouse, part of my job is to make the financial transition as seamless and stress-free as possible. Because when you're grieving the death of a spouse, the last thing you want to worry about is money—or worse, the power being shut off because you couldn't log in to pay the electric bill. Over the years, I've helped many widows and widowers through this transition, and I've developed a Widow's Financial Roadmap. The key is to have this roadmap in place before something happens—before you get sick, become incapacitated, or pass away. If you don't, your spouse may be left without the information they need to keep the household running smoothly, and the stress of grief will be compounded by financial confusion. If you're new to the podcast, a quick introduction: I'm the co-owner of True North Retirement Advisors, a fee-only fiduciary financial advisory firm managing over $450 million in assets. For 17 years, I've helped my clients retire with confidence. And here on the podcast, I take complex retirement topics and turn them into clear answers in just a few minutes each day—so you can spend less time stressing about money and more time living. If you know someone who would benefit from this week's topic, please share the show. And if you have a burning question about your own retirement, visit truenorthra.com where you can book a free 15-minute call with me. Now, let's talk about the roadmap. I'm going to lay this out in order—what to do first, and what comes next. Hopefully, you've already checked some of these items off, but there may be a few you haven't thought about. Step 1: Create a Financial Inventory I've talked about this on the podcast before, but it's worth repeating. A financial inventory is essentially a table of contents for your finances. It should include: Bank and investment accounts (with balances, account types, and where they're held). Insurance and annuity policies. Will or trust. Social Security information. Tax returns. Marriage certificate. And eventually, your death certificate. Without this inventory, assets can be forgotten or lost. For example, maybe you still have a 401(k) at a former employer that your spouse doesn't know about. Without documentation, that money could remain unclaimed. This inventory should also include a list of your key advisors and their contact information—your financial advisor, CPA, attorney, insurance agents, and even the phone number for the bank where your checking account is held. One mistake I often see, especially later in life, is not consolidating accounts. People keep money scattered across five different institutions, a handful of bank accounts, and maybe an online savings account. That's a recipe for disaster. The more accounts you have, the greater the chance your spouse won't be able to find or access them. Once you've created your financial inventory, maintaining it is easy. Just update it once a year—adjust balances, note any new or consolidated accounts, and make sure contact information is current. It usually takes less than an hour. This is the single most important step for the long-term financial health of your surviving spouse. Step 2: Ensure Cash Flow Needs Are Met The next step is making sure bills continue to get paid. Your spouse needs a list of all recurring bills with: The name of the bill (mortgage, utilities, insurance, etc.). The approximate amount. How it's paid (auto-draft, ACH, check). The due date and frequency. This isn't just a budget—it's a cash flow map for your surviving spouse. When paired with the financial inventory, it allows them to step in immediately and manage the household without the lights getting shut off or the mortgage falling behind. On the flip side, you'll also want to document income sources—Social Security, pension payments, portfolio withdrawals, or other income. That way, your spouse knows not just what bills are due, but also what money is coming in, from where, and when. Step 3: Set Up a Password Manager If you remember nothing else from this episode, remember this: set up a password manager. A password manager securely stores all of your logins, and you only need to remember one master password. Some of the top options include 1Password, NordPass, and Dashlane. This tool is invaluable while you're alive because it improves security and eliminates the need to remember dozens of passwords. But it's especially critical when someone dies. Nearly everything is digital now—bank accounts, investments, utilities, email, social media, even photo storage. Without access, your spouse may spend hours digging through old notebooks or trying to reset passwords—sometimes unsuccessfully. With a password manager, all of that information is organized and accessible. You and your spouse can share logins through the manager, making it easy to cancel subscriptions, manage accounts, or simply retrieve family photos stored in the cloud. It takes a little time to set up, but once it's running, the manager prompts you to save new logins automatically. Over time, it builds a complete record of your digital life—one that your spouse can access when needed most. Step 4: Write a Letter The final step is to write a personal letter to your spouse. This letter isn't legally binding, like a will or trust, but it can provide enormous comfort. Think of it as a cover letter to the roadmap. It should include: A reminder of where the financial documents are located. Words of love and reassurance. Encouragement not to make big financial or lifestyle changes right away. Grief clouds judgment. Many surviving spouses are tempted to sell the house, change investments, or make other major decisions in the first few months. In most cases, those decisions can wait. Your letter can serve as a gentle reminder to pause and breathe before making big changes. Keep copies of this letter with your roadmap—at home in a safe, in a safe deposit box, and with your trusted advisors. That way, it can be easily found when it's needed most. In the First Few Months After a Death So what happens immediately after a spouse passes away? Order multiple copies of the death certificate. You'll need these to handle accounts and claims. Notify key professionals—your financial advisor, attorney, CPA, and insurance companies. Start claims and transitions—life insurance, Social Security survivor benefits, and retitling accounts. Keep bills paid. If your spouse didn't handle finances before, enlist the help of a trusted child, friend, or advisor to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Meet with a tax advisor. Your filing status will change, and that can have a big impact on your taxes. Longer-term changes—like adjusting investment withdrawals, selling the house, or revising estate plans—can wait until the fog of grief begins to lift, often 6–12 months down the road. At that point, you'll be in a clearer frame of mind to make big decisions. To recap, the Widow's Financial Roadmap includes four steps: Create a financial inventory. Ensure cash flow needs are met. Set up a password manager. Write a letter to your spouse. Do these now, while you're healthy, and you'll make life much easier for your loved ones later. That's all for this week's episode of the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast. Thanks for listening, and I'll be back next week with more!  

Elisha Does CPR 2 Kings 4 Chew the Bible Season 3This chapter highlights several miracles performed by the prophet Elisha, showing God's provision and power:The Widow's Oil (vv. 1–7):A widow in debt seeks help from Elisha. He instructs her to gather empty jars and pour her small amount of oil into them. Miraculously, the oil keeps flowing until all the jars are full, providing enough to pay her debts and sustain her family.The Shunammite Woman's Son (vv. 8–37):A wealthy woman provides hospitality to Elisha, building him a room. As a blessing, Elisha tells her she will have a son. Years later, the boy dies suddenly. The woman seeks Elisha, who goes to her home, prays, and stretches himself upon the boy, reviving him from death.The Deadly Stew (vv. 38–41):During a famine, Elisha's followers unknowingly cook a poisonous stew. Elisha miraculously purifies it with flour, making it safe to eat.Feeding a Hundred (vv. 42–44):A man brings Elisha 20 loaves of barley bread. Elisha distributes it to 100 men, and miraculously, there is more than enough, foreshadowing the miracle of Jesus feeding the multitudes.Your words were found and I ate them

Jesus teaches us through the parable of the persistent widow, that while we should pray without ceasing, we cannot forget Who hears our prayers and acts upon them in His good will. God is the only good and just being, therefore when we pray to Him we have assurance of His receiving them. So we pray in faith to the God who sits on the throne, knowing we need Him and He is listening and answering.

 I hope you're ready to listen in on an honest conversation about grief, growth, and finding new footing after profound loss!  I had the privilege of interviewing Linda Davis this week. This chat was rich in wisdom — not just about surviving widowhood, but about rebuilding yourself in the years that follow. Linda dropped more than a few gems that anyone moving through monumental change might want to tuck away for later. Here are the five that most spoke to me:Baby Steps Are Legit Steps She let herself take things minute by minute.  She honored what her instincts and emotions needed, one afternoon or evening at a time. You get to move slowly. That's not failing; that's surviving.It's Okay to Change Up Your WorldGuilt about rearranging your physical space? Let it go. Linda realized she needed her surroundings to reflect this new phase of her life.Pour Out Your Grief (In Whatever Medium You've Got)For Linda, collage became a unique lifeline — a way to track the rollercoaster of emotions after loss, visually and creatively. Follow Your Instincts, and Let Spiritual Growth Surprise YouLinda described how loss cracked her open spiritually — even when she hadn't thought a lot about such things before. Unexpected “signs” from her late husband, new feelings of connection, and a deeper sense of presence in the world around her emerged. Give Yourself Permission to Rebuild — and Love AgainYou are allowed to create a 2.0 version of yourself! Rebuilding takes confidence, but also courage to be a beginner. Don't pressure yourself to know all the answers, and don't apologize for whatever timeline, efforts, or interests emerge as you rebuild. It's a complicated, deeply personal road — but if Linda's experience holds anything universal, it's that healing and possibility co-exist. If you or someone you know needs encouragement after loss, please pass this episode along!

The healthcare system isn't broken… It's doing exactly what it was built to do.It's not about health. It's about profit.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Meanwhile, in Liberty Bluff... While chaos unfolds at the homestead, Consuela and Morgan investigate the mysterious death of Floyd Davis in Liberty Bluff. Their search for his widow leads them to the sheriff's office, where they find Sheriff Scelop - a rotund, incompetent iguana-man - snoring face-down at his desk beside an empty whiskey bottle. After convincing the flustered sheriff they represent financial interests regarding Floyd, they're directed to the Davis-Bluff house with a request to tell the widow to stop "rabble rousing." The Victorian-style house with its curated native plant garden seems larger inside than out, unnaturally cool and dark despite the desert heat. They meet the surly but welcoming housemaid Miss Margery, who leads them to Dalia Blundell – an exotic, eerie figure who immediately sets Consuela on edge with vampire suspicions, while Morgan finds herself oddly enthralled. Realizing their interests align in seeking justice for Floyd, Dalia takes them to her late husband's study. In Floyd's study, they discover two of his three precious journals, plus a surveyor's chain and compass -but the third journal remains missing. As they search, Consuela experiments with a sample of arcanite, triggering a magical flash that causes her eyes to glow blue and grants her supernatural perception. In this enhanced state, Consuela witnesses the terrified specter of Floyd Davis emerging from the wall, desperately seeking Dalia before being dragged back into shadow by smoke-black arms with long claws, his final scream echoing her name.

In this comprehensive discussion, Dawn delves into the intricacies, opportunities, and pitfalls of creative real estate financing—particularly seller financing, seller-held notes, and contract-for-deed arrangements.  The conversation is framed around real-life case studies involving high-equity sellers, ethical considerations, and practical challenges in managing seller-financed deals.  Dawn shares her personal experiences, including a detailed story about helping her cleaning lady and others caught in problematic seller-financed home purchases with incomplete or unrecorded paperwork.  The narrative exposes the risks of unscrupulous sellers who exploit buyers through poorly structured deals and highlights the importance of legal, ethical, and transparent financing arrangements.  Dawn also discusses market dynamics, the risks of lease options and subject-to deals, and the need for education and certification in this niche to protect all parties involved.  The session ends with reflections on bridging the gap between older equity-rich sellers and younger buyers, emphasizing the win-win potential of seller financing when done correctly. ### Highlights   -
