In this powerful episode of Your Life and Legacy, host Christopher Nudo welcomes clinical psychologist Dr. Jesse Hanson for a transformative conversation about emotional numbness the silent experience of moving through life disconnected, shut down, or on autopilot.

Drawing from more than two decades of experience in somatic psychology and neuropsychology, Dr. Hanson explains why emotional shutdown happens, especially after trauma or prolonged stress, and how it often begins as a survival mechanism.

In this episode of Your Life Your Legacy, host Christopher Nudo sits down with estate planning attorney Alina Gonzalez Dockery to reframe one of life’s most avoided conversations planning for the future as an act of love, protection, and stewardship. With nearly three decades of experience, Alina shares real-life stories that reveal what happens when families delay planning and how thoughtful preparation can prevent conflict, loss, and unintended consequences.

Together, they explore why so many people avoid estate planning, from emotional discomfort and misinformation to the belief that there’s always time.
