In this episode, we sit down with Sophia Maslin - barrister turned founder of Morby, the modern estate-planning platform - to explore why planning for the future doesn’t have to be complicated, morbid, or reserved for later in life.

After losing a family member in their thirties, Sophia discovered just how unprepared most people are when it comes to wills - not because they don’t care, but because the process feels confusing, outdated, and overwhelming. Morby was born to change that.

We dive into how Sophia is demystifying wills, reframing them as a core part of financial wellness, and helping a whole generation take control of their futures with clarity, confidence, and even humour.

Sophia opens up about her personal story, the misconceptions holding people back, and what it’s been like disrupting one of the most traditional corners of the legal world.

We talk:
💭 Why so many Millennials & Gen Z avoid wills (even though they know they need one)
🐾 The surprising things you can protect in a will, from pets to social media
📱 How tech, design & AI are modernising a dusty, outdated industry
🌱 Why planning for the future is an act of self-care, not morbidity
🗂 The reality of building a startup, raising investment & disrupting a legacy sector
✨ The mindset shift that helped Sophia pivot from law to entrepreneurship
