Estate Planning as an Act of Love: Traci Ellis on Life Transitions, Cancer & Designing Your Legacy
Description
What do you do when divorce and a breast cancer diagnosis overlap?
Attorney Traci Ellis didn't just survive that season — she found joy in the middle of it. Not the flowers-and-balloons version of joy. The real kind. The kind that shows up in a chemo chair when you're cracking jokes and somewhere in the middle of the hardest thing you've ever been through, you realize — I'm still here. And I'm still laughing.
In this episode, Dr. Lisa Summerour sits down with estate planning attorney and founder of Traci Ellis Law to talk about navigating divorce and a stage 2B to 3C breast cancer diagnosis simultaneously, how a random thought in the chemo chair changed the trajectory of her career, and why she now calls estate planning the last love letter you'll ever write.
Plus — clarity is kindness, probate is purgatory, and Valentine's Day will never mean the same thing again. EP 48
