On this episode of Let's Just Talk with Kathryn Raaker, we welcome two incredible guests offering guidance and expertise in very different, yet impactful areas.

Our first guest is Rachel Kerr Schneider, author of The Widow Chose Red. Her deeply personal memoir reflects on the final chapter of her husband’s life after 24 years of marriage. Rachel’s story offers a powerful look at love, loss, and caregiving—highlighting the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges faced by women who care for terminally ill partners. With honesty and strength, she helps readers understand how the dying process can become a meaningful, integrated part of life.

Our second guest is renowned home improvement expert Leslie Segrete. She shares the latest trends in outdoor home upgrades—from maximizing resale value to transforming elevated decks and patios into usable living and storage spaces. Leslie also highlights simple, high-impact weekend DIY projects that can enhance both beauty and function.

In addition to her design expertise, Leslie has made her mark on television as a designer for The Harry Show, Good Bones, Hotel Impossible, $100 Makeover, and The Ugliest House on the Block. She also co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio program The Money Pit, heard on over 330 stations across the country.
