52 Weeks Podcast

We recently touched on finance, but this topic deserves its own spotlight. Imagine navigating a divorce and suddenly finding your financial world turned upside down. While scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon a post from a woman reminiscing about her pre-divorce life, driving through her old neighborhood. The comments were filled with similar stories, highlighting a shared struggle many face when lifestyles shift post-divorce.

This realization led me to invite today’s guest, Amy Coroso, who has lived this journey. From debt and damaged credit to no savings and mortgage hurdles, she transformed her financial life and now empowers other women to do the same. As a Certified Financial Education Instructor, Certified YNAB Coach, founder of Real Talk Finance, and author on retirement preparation, Amy's mission is to equip women with the tools, confidence, and support to reclaim their financial independence, no matter their life stage.🔗 Connect with Amy Coroso
