Welcome to The Kinder Way Podcast – the show that talks about unique ways to manage your money in short, digestible episodes.

  • A Mortgage, A Marriage, A Move – Oh My! [Interview with Kieran Drohan]
    Jun 3 2026

    In our latest episode of The Kinder Way Podcast, our host sits down with repeat homebuyer, Kieran Drohan, to chat about life insurance and mortgage protection. Kieran shares his own personal experience when it comes to protecting your mortgage, and why he bought 30 year term life insurance (instead of the more common term 20 life insurance) when he bought his very first home. They also chat about why the best mortgage protection insurance, in his opinion, is not mortgage life insurance from the bank – while going over some of its biggest drawbacks. Tune in to find out more!

  • What Happens if Their ‘Safe Place’ Disappears?
    May 20 2026

    In our latest episode of The Kinder Way Podcast, our host admits that this is the type of question that keeps her up at night – especially considering she and her husband didn’t have a will for many years after becoming parents. She ponders the reason why parents (like herself) put off important decisions like getting their will in order or selecting a guardian for their children. It’s not because they are lazy procrastinators, she argues, but because it’s very difficult to imagine someone stepping in to fill that very important role in a child’s life. If you’re a mom or a dad who has wondered, “Why do I need a will and trust?”, tune in to learn about the importance of having a legal will as a parent.
