"In a blended family, fairness and mutual understanding are key, especially when navigating the complexities of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.” -Donna Kendrick
Navigating love after loss or divorce comes with a host of emotional and financial complexities, especially when blending families.
Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, speak with Donna Kendrick, a financial planner who has lived through these transitions herself. After losing her husband unexpectedly, Donna rebuilt her life and career with a mission to help families in flux—widows, divorcées, and newly blended households.
She shares how combining lives means combining financial baggage too, from income disparities and home equity dilemmas to prenups, life insurance, and estate planning. Donna’s candid story highlights the power of transparency and empathy in financial conversations, especially when trust has been tested.
Her advice? Begin with individual clarity—define your needs, wants, and non-negotiables—then collaborate with your partner.
Donna emphasizes the importance of communication, fairness, and ongoing adjustment as life evolves. Her blend of financial savvy and emotional wisdom offers a powerful reminder: managing money in remarriage is less about spreadsheets and more about mutual understanding.
