In this episode, we unpack the far-reaching implications of what’s been called “The Big, Beautiful Bill” — and what it means for environmental efforts, green jobs, and especially the CDFI industry. As funding gets pulled back and priorities shift, the communities we serve are feeling the strain.

We take a hard look at how this legislation is impacting the momentum we've built, the investments already made, and the work still left to do. But this isn’t just about loss — it’s about resilience. If you’re feeling discouraged, you’re not alone. We’re all navigating this together, and there’s still power in collective action, even in uncertain times.

Whether you're in the CDFI space, working on climate justice, or just trying to understand how national policy is shaping the local work, this episode is for you.

We know—it sounds like one of those topics: boring, scary, or just plain overwhelming. But in this episode, we flip the script on estate planning. In a world where so much feels out of our control, this is one area where we do have agency.

We're breaking the taboo and talking about it—openly, honestly, and with a little levity. You’ll learn why estate planning matters (even if you're not rich), what to consider, and how to take the first step without spiraling.

This isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind.

In this episode, we reference the workbook "I'm Dead, Now What", a tool that Ebony has found helpful if you don't know where to start. You can access the book here: https://a.co/d/bN0b8qI
