Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life
Estate Planning & Widowhood with Pam Baker - Founder & CEO of Widows Who Wine
Estate Planning & Widowhood: What You Don’t Know Until You Do
Guest: Pam Baker – Founder & CEO of Widows Who Wine

Episode Summary:
When the unimaginable happens, are you truly prepared? In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of Linda’s Corner, host Linda Bjork speaks with Pam Baker, a widow, author, and the founder of Widows Who Wine, a support community and app designed to help widows connect, heal, and thrive.
Pam lost her husband Jon to an aggressive form of brain cancer. Despite their efforts to be prepared—Jon was a financial planner—they were caught off guard by the practical realities of his passing. From not knowing where the car title was, to discovering legal complications she had never anticipated, Pam learned the hard way that even the best-intentioned planning can fall short.
Pam shares her personal story of grief, resilience, and the overwhelming financial and emotional toll of widowhood. More importantly, she offers hope and actionable tools to help others avoid the same pitfalls. Her new book and companion workbook provide a step-by-step guide for organizing vital information before a crisis hits—so families can focus on healing, not scrambling for documents.
Together, we explore:
- Why even experienced planners may be unprepared for death
- Common estate planning mistakes and oversights
- How to begin creating a comprehensive plan for your future
- The importance of emotional support and social connection after loss
- Pam’s mission through Widows Who Wine to help widows find friendship, strength, and joy again
Whether you're married, widowed, or simply want to prepare wisely for the future, this episode is a must-listen.
