The Starting Gate Episode 26: Life After the Fire: What I Learned About Loss, Insurance, and How Community Got me Through It
In this powerful episode, Dr. Sarah Schuetz shares her personal experience of losing her home in a devastating fire—and the lessons she learned the hard way about home insurance, emotional resilience, and the importance of community.
We’re joined by Hays Featherston, Sarah’s home insurance agent, who helps break down the details of what is and isn’t covered in most policies, what to look for when choosing insurance, and how to better protect your assets before disaster strikes. We also talk about what it’s like to need support from others and how you can be there for someone going through a crisis.
Don’t wait for a crisis to realize what you didn’t know—tune in and take away tips that could make all the difference.
