In this solo episode, Leah Hadley explores the pivotal moment many women face after divorce: the challenge and overwhelm of rebuilding their financial life amidst uncertainty. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience, Leah offers perspective, practical steps, and empowering insights for navigating the complexities of post-divorce finances with clarity and intention.

    • Navigating immediate cash flow changes 
    • Handling long-term assets and the significance of early decisions 
    • Addressing insurance and estate planning updates
    • Recognizing and managing the emotional layer tied to financial decisions

      • - Common Barriers to Building a Financial Plan:

      • Waiting for things to "settle down" 
      • Trying to tackle everything at once, leading to overwhelm 
      • Uncertainty about who to trust in the financial industry

        • - Practical Planning Approaches:

        • The power of focusing on 90-day plans instead of overwhelming long-term projections 
        • Identifying the next actionable step to create momentum 

          • - The Role of Community:
