  • What Married Couples Get Wrong About Life Insurance and How to Fix It
    Jun 30 2026

    Most married couples either have too much coverage on one spouse, almost none on the other, or policies set up in a way that could create problems they haven’t thought about yet.

    In this episode, Lisa and Eric walk through the most common life insurance mistakes married couples make, why joint policies are usually not the right answer, how beneficiary designations can quietly create problems, and what good coverage actually looks like when two people are building a life together.

    Most couples are either over-insured on one side or completely uncovered on the other. Here’s how to fix that.

    Join us each week as we break down life insurance without the headaches, the lectures, or the awkward sales talk.

  • How to Protect Your Family If You're the Only Income in the Household
    Jun 23 2026

    If your income disappears, how long does your family stay afloat? For single-income households, that’s not a hypothetical. It’s the question that life insurance is designed to answer.

    In this episode, Lisa and Eric walk through why single-income families carry more financial risk than they often realize, how to think about coverage sizing when one person is carrying everything, and what happens to a household when that income stops without a plan in place.

    Single-income households carry more risk and need more deliberate coverage. This episode walks you through how to think about it.

  • Cheap vs. Smart: How to Tell If a Life Insurance Quote Is Actually Good
    Jun 16 2026

    Getting a low quote feels like a win. But a cheap life insurance quote and a good life insurance quote are not always the same thing.

    In this episode, Lisa and Eric walk through what a low quote can actually signal, what you should be comparing when you look at quotes side by side, and how to tell whether the number you’re looking at is a good deal or just a low number that comes with trade-offs you haven’t found yet.

    The cheapest quote and the right quote are rarely the same thing. Here’s how to tell the difference.
