Death Readiness: Small Steps, Big Impact

Welcome to the very first episode of The Death Readiness Podcast! In this debut, host Jill Mastroianni—an experienced attorney and death readiness advocate—dives into what it truly means to be prepared for the inevitable.

This episode covers:

  • What is death readiness? A compassionate approach to planning for yourself and the loved ones you leave behind.

  • A thought exercise: Two contrasting scenarios of how preparation (or the lack thereof) can impact those you care about most.

  • Practical first steps: Setting up your iPhone's Medical ID and creating an emergency medical information sheet to ensure you're ready for the unexpected.

This isn’t about fear—it’s about empowerment, clarity, and leaving a legacy of love and support. Jill explains how small, manageable steps can make a world of difference and offers insights into what you can expect in future episodes.

Actionable Takeaway: Don’t wait! Take your first step toward readiness by setting up your Medical ID or downloading Jill’s free emergency medical information form
