Testimonials
Highly Recommend!
"Chanel is extremely knowledgeable with the multiple facets of how to prepare for the end of life. She is friendly, super approachable, and her class is for ANYONE who knows either something or nothing on what to prepare."
Highly Recommend!
"The step by step format that Chanel has created gave me the confidence that I'm covering my basis. There is so much information out on the internet, it's hard to know what's most important or relevant. The templates, examples and extra information that she has filtered held my attention and focus. I've made huge progress in just one month, even though I've been trying to get to this for over 5 years prior to the course. Highly recommend!"
Thank you!
"This course was super helpful and made me feel more confident in approaching this difficult topic."
The Power of Raw, Honest Stories About Money
"Ms. Reynolds, 48, became an expert through the death of her husband, José, and the gut-wrenching period of logistical and financial madness that followed. She describes it all in “What Matters Most.”
Opinion: Catastrophe struck when my husband was killed. Here’s what I learned about creating a ‘what if’ plan
Four years after my husband was killed in an accident. I had mostly gotten my sh-t together (legal documents, an emergency fund, life insurance, my end-of-life wishes, recorded important account and password information, etc.) and encouraged my parents, friends (and the whole world via my website Get Your Sh*t Together) to make it easier on everyone after they die, too.
Masterclass Includes:
Expert advice and road-tested tools: Step-by-step instruction refined over ten years of workshops, trainings, interviews, hundreds of classes and thousands of successful students.
