Some conversations have the power to change how we think about family, love, and responsibility — and this Smart Life episode with Linda Galindo is one of them.

We had the privilege of producing and filming this deeply important conversation focused on pre-planning: what it is, why it matters, and how it can protect the people you love most. Linda is joined by two trusted professionals:

• Jesse Ruiz – Funeral Director & Embalmer | 909-762-4027
• Miguel Ángel Briseño – Pre-Need Counselor | 951-756-4129
• 
  

Together, they break down the difference between pre-need and at-need, how to avoid chaos and confusion during a crisis, what “next of kin” really means, and why things like power of attorney, advanced directives, and even having a travel plan can make all the difference for a family.

This episode is bilingual — English and Español — created intentionally for our comunidad. It’s honest, practical, and full of clarity. The type of conversation many families avoid, but absolutely need.

At VLIZ Media, we were grateful to capture every moment. Our goal was to help Smart Life share this message with the care, professionalism, and heart it deserves. Because when conversations like this are shared with clarity and love, they bring real peace, direction, and protection to families.
