Critical Conversations: Live Talk Series with Q&A
Online
Critical Conversations is a monthly online series of practical, honest conversations about looking after ourselves, supporting the people we love and preparing for life's unexpected moments.
Each session runs for one hour: Catherine Ashton in conversation with a guest, three things they've learned, then live audience Q&A. Sessions are free, cameras are optional and you are welcome to simply listen.
Monday 23 November | 7.30pm to 8.30pm
Looking After Yourself: Health, Help Seeking and Planning Ahead, with Barry Du Bois, mental health advocate and founder of The Art of Untangling Lives.
Wednesday 9 December | 7.30pm to 8.30pm
Navigating the Holidays: Family, Stress, Loneliness and Connection, with Linda Rowley, wellbeing consultant, coach and facilitator with more than 20 years' experience supporting people through change, loss and uncertainty.
Who it's for
Anyone who is the person everyone else relies on. Carers, adult children supporting parents, people navigating grief or change, and anyone who wants to feel more prepared.
What it's not
Not legal, financial or medical advice, and not counselling.

The Critical Info Planning Hour
Online
The Critical Info Planning Hour is a weekly, guided session where you set aside time to work on your Critical Info profile — alongside others, in a supportive and focused space.
It’s similar to a group journaling or co-working session, but instead of writing freely, you’ll be:
- completing sections of your Critical Info Platform profile
- documenting key information, wishes and details at your own pace
- making steady progress without pressure or overwhelm
Catherine will be present to gently guide the session, answer general questions, and help you stay focused. There’s no expectation to share, speak, or finish anything in one sitting.
If you need a quick one-on-one check-in, a private breakout room will be available during the session. You can step away briefly, ask a question, and return to the group when you’re ready.
This is about showing up, setting aside the time, and doing the work together.
When
- Thursdays | 7:00–8:00pm
- Fridays | 11:00am–12:00pm
Who it’s for
- Anyone who has been meaning to start or finish their Critical Info profile
- Carers, planners, and people holding a lot for others
- Those who benefit from quiet accountability and shared presence
What it’s not
- Not a legal or financial advice session
- Not a workshop or presentation
- Not a space where you’re required to share personal details
Just one hour. One step. One safer future.
Critical Chat Tuesdays – Weekly Online Conversations
Online
Critical Chat Tuesdays are free, weekly online conversations hosted by Catherine Ashton, Founder of Critical Info, offering a safe and welcoming space to talk — or simply listen — about end-of-life planning, death, dying, grief, and preparedness.
These sessions are not about legal or financial advice, and they are not counselling. Instead, they provide gentle guidance, shared learning and an opportunity to understand what tools and support are available, at your own pace.
Critical Chat Tuesdays run throughout the year and are open to anyone interested in improving their confidence around planning, having important conversations, or supporting loved ones through uncertainty.
