Episode 53: Mother’s Day — Legal Lessons Learned from Mom

This week on Law Days and Lattes, host Sidney Wheelan reflects on the timeless advice passed down from her mother — and how those “mom-isms” surprisingly double as smart legal strategies. Just in time for Mother’s Day, this episode honors the women who raised us and reminds us that love, wisdom, and a good legal plan often go hand in hand.

☕️ In this episode:

• How “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” translates to estate planning and asset protection
• Why “If something happens to me…” is a conversation every family should have
• The power of using your head — not just your heart — in legal and financial decisions
• The importance of legal and financial independence, especially for women
• A tribute to the practical, heartfelt legacy moms leave behind

📝 Legal Latte Tip of the Week:

Take a moment this weekend to ask your mom (or yourself):

• Do you have a will?
• Where is it kept?
• Does someone know how to access your medical directives or powers of attorney?

💐 Whether your mom was sweet, sassy, or somewhere in between, her advice might be more legally relevant than you realized. Tune in and take a few notes from Mom — and from Sidney.
