    Plan today for the life you're already living.

    Could someone step into your shoes today and carry on your day-to-day with ease? The Living Planner helps individuals, families, and business owners prepare in advance — so the unexpected never has to be unmanageable.

    The Living Planner — Lynn Lambrecht

    Our mission

    Practical day-to-day contingency planning, prepared in advance of life's changes.

    "Lynn takes the guesswork out of the unexpected by making sure people feel confident and in control of their future."

    Have you considered the variables that make up "life" for you?

    What are all the things you do and access routinely — for yourself and for others? How about at work?

    Could someone step into your shoes today and take your place if needed?

    If thinking like this isn't your norm, you're in good company. This is exactly the moment The Living Planner was built for.

    About the founder

    Lynn Lambrecht, founder of The Living Planner

    Lynn Lambrecht

    Founder of The Living Planner · Contingency planning advisor since 2015

    Lynn's background includes global leadership roles in aviation, non-profit, and business start-ups. During her years in aviation she also served as a volunteer emergency team responder, supporting families through the aftermath of large-scale emergencies.

    That experience — combined with helping plan and follow up for her own parents and friends — became the foundation for The Living Planner. She holds a BA in Communication from the University of South Florida and an MS in Higher Education / Student Personnel from Miami University (Oxford, OH).

    Her work with The Living Planner honors and remembers the victims, families, and survivors of NW255, NW1482, and UA175.

    "The Living Planner book and program has made me get on track with my planning like no other. Lynn is a genius at making the steps clear and simple so that anyone who follows them can be successful."
