When it comes to aging well, planning ahead is one of the most loving things you can do—for yourself and your family. In this episode, Jamie Callahan is joined by Angela Franklin, a community educator and death midwife, to demystify Oregon’s Advanced Directive and why it's so important for every adult to have one.

Angela explains what the form does, how it's different from a POLST, and the most common mistakes people make when filling it out.

She covers:

  • Why Oregon’s Advanced Directive is unique—and more protective than in many other states
  • The difference between an Advanced Directive and a POLST
  • When and how to update your directive
  • Who should have one (hint: everyone 18 and older!)
  • Why having these conversations early brings peace of mind later

Whether you’re planning for your future or supporting a loved one, this episode offers clarity and practical advice.
