Turning 18 doesn’t just mean freedom. It means legal responsibility.

In this episode of Life is Legal, Brooke walks through the not-so-sexy but absolutely essential side of adulting: risk mitigation. From auto insurance and tickets to leases, renter’s insurance, medical powers of attorney, and social media mistakes that can derail your future. This episode breaks down what every new adult needs to know.

Because life is legal… whether you’re ready or not.
