Show Notes

In this heartfelt episode, Rayna tackles a difficult but essential topic: preparing your spouse for what happens if something happens to you. Drawing from years of experience meeting with federal employees and their families, she explains why these conversations aren't morbid—they're gifts of love and security.

Learn about survivor benefits, TSP beneficiary rules, Social Security continuation, military retirement benefits, and why creating a comprehensive financial roadmap for your loved ones is one of the most important things you'll ever do.

If you're married to a federal employee or are one yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
