Divorce is not only an emotional transition—it can also require some of the most consequential financial decisions a person will ever make, often at a time when thinking clearly can feel especially difficult.
Today's guest, Leah Hadley, joins us to discuss how to navigate the emotional and financial complexities of divorce with greater clarity and intention. She explains why it's important to separate heavy emotions from practical money decisions, organize financial documents early, understand your individual income and expenses, and establish boundaries that can help reduce unnecessary conflict.
Leah also discusses the importance of building the right support team, including financial, legal, and emotional professionals, and why getting specialized financial guidance early can help you better understand the long-term implications of decisions involving assets, debt, housing, retirement, and your financial future.
