September 20, 2022Co-Parenting After Divorce
Sherry Smith is a licensed marriage and family therapist, psychotherapist, certified divorce coach, author, speaker, and podcast host. She combines her training, practice, and experiences to promote non-adversarial divorce environments that support the family system. Sherry defines and describes co-parenting and shares tools, techniques, and resources parents can use to ensure their children are supported and empowered.
Co-parenting occurs when you and your former spouse have a somewhat amicable relationship and are united in how you raise your children. Your parenting relationship is still there as it was before, but you’re doing it from two different homes.
Parenting coordinators are individuals who act as an intermediary between the parents and help them learn how to communicate more effectively. They are helpful in situations where there’s difficulty and enmity between the parents.
When frustrations arise, it’s easy to say things in the height of emotion, but you often regret it as the dust settles. Instead, you should take some time to calm down and engage in a self-soothing practice, like deep breathing, to gather your thoughts and communicate them in a progressive manner.
Sometimes, situations occur when one parent is neutral about their former spouse in front of their children so they can foster love for the other parent, but the other parent speaks negatively about them. In time, the children will see which parent is more well-adjusted.

September 07, 2022Finding The Right Financial Advisor
Deborah Nason is a journalist who has been covering business for the past 20 years, for both InvestmentNews and CNBC.com. She is on a mission to ensure people of all income levels get the financial advice and guidance they need. Deborah shares resources for helping people find the ideal financial advisor regardless of the state of their wallet, including some fantastic pro bono deals.
A financial advisor is a trained, experienced professional who helps you understand your financial options, create a comprehensive financial plan, and make the right financial decisions along the way. They can help you plan a holistic approach to your financial life.
Financial planning does not always involve investment management. Regardless of whether you plan to invest or not, it’s a good practice to have a financial advisor helping you with income and expense planning, creating goals, and maximizing your employee benefits.
One of the best ways to ensure your advisor has the relevant experience in expertise and designations is by doing a broker check on FINRA.
Like medical professionals, financial advisors also specialize. From divorce to entrepreneurship, there are a multitude of specializations under the financial advisor umbrella. The idea is to find somebody who really understands who you are and what you're about.

Technology has created marketplaces that allow people who need skills to find people that have skills. If you want to work as a freelancer, you need to know what you’re good at and be able to translate that into a technology platform.
Figuring out what you want to do with your life isn’t easy regardless of how old you are. Getting in touch with your ‘why’ makes it easier.
One of the stumbling blocks in getting your first job is a company’s objective to get results - this proves as an obstacle to many because they don’t have the results in the package the company is used to seeing.
When writing a resume, start by gathering information about yourself and then decide how you want to present it. The cover letter should include three compelling reasons why someone should hire you.

August 09, 2022Long-Term Financial Security begins by Advocating for Yourself
Laura Terrell is an executive coach with over 25 years experience working with high-achieving professionals. She helps her clients build wealth and tap into a mindset that will help them achieve more financial success personally and in their professional lives. Laura shares common pitfalls to avoid, and three questions to consider that will put you on the path to long-term financial security.
People are often nervous about acknowledging that money is very important to them in a professional role. Money is almost like a taboo subject, as it’s something people tend to avoid talking about.
Money is about your values, your priorities, and your goals in life. Some of these things help drive the finances, but they don’t depend on being able to do advanced calculus.
It’s important to learn to be your own advocate. Advocating for the compensation you deserve can be daunting, but it’s imperative that you don’t negotiate against yourself and toss a number that’s too low.
Households with a female breadwinner are often subjected to societal pressures - people sometimes believe something is wrong when a man is not providing for his family.

July 26, 2022Extracting Yourself From Financial Abuse
Genevieve Anderson is an investing and financial wellness coach dedicated to helping people take control of their finances. She teaches them how to invest, build wealth, and create healthy money habits through a 12-step recovery process. Genevieve uses her own experience to identify key signs of financial abuse and how to move forward healthily. She shares resources listeners can use to protect themselves and their family, and put them on the path to long term financial security.
If you don’t have a lot of assets, it might be easier to go to your local bank or credit union and ask for help in doing simple processes like creating a budget or paying down debt. On the flip side, if you have a lot of assets, it’s really easy to find a wonderful financial advisor to help you navigate your financial journey.
Signs like being given a strict allowance and spending limits, threats of cutting off financial support, limiting access to money, and even not being able to pursue a career may not feel significant, but the longer it happens, the more they compound.
Society has a tendency to shame women when they get hurt and scammed by men. It’s important to remember that it’s not your fault, it’s not embarrassing, and it happens to more people than we realize.
It’s helpful to talk to a counselor or therapist about serious concerns in your relationship - a third party and professional can tell you whether your partner is exhibiting normal behavior or not.

Your personal passion prescription is a blueprint for where you’re headed. To develop it, you must ask yourself the most important question: what would you love?
The most important real estate you will ever manage is your mind. When you learn to manage your mind, you can create whatever you would love.
As women, when you are in your “divine feminine” or the receiving mode, your awareness is opened, and you are able to see that there are other ways and opportunities for increasing your wealth.

June 28, 2022Developing the Right Money Habitudes
Syble Solomon is the creator of Money Habitudes, a financial tool that helps people understand the psychology of money and make wiser financial decisions. She is a member of the Financial Therapy Association and a pioneer in looking at the intersection between money and emotions. Syble shares insights on what motivates financial decisions, and the deep-rooted and complex feelings we often have towards money. She talks about Money Habitudes, and the six different patterns you need to know to emerge from the divorce process in a financially sound place.
Money Habitudes is a self-assessment game that helps players become aware of their habits and attitudes towards money. There are six habitudes that any one person may possess, but people usually have one pattern they follow the most.
Most people get so caught up in the conflict their differences create that they don’t realize those differences balance each other out.
Our first relationship with money is developed based on the messages we pick up from our parents. We inherit these messages, which influences the way we view money and make financial decisions.
One thing you must learn to do is communicate when you are angry, in a way that meets your needs rather than just letting the anger out.

June 14, 2022One Home to Two: What Are Your Real Estate Options During Divorce
Seth Feinman is a 15-year veteran in the mortgage industry. His current role is Vice President of Silver Fin Capital, where he manages the licensed loan origination team. He is most proud of working one-on-one with clients to find the best loan product based on their unique situations. Mark D. Friedman is an award-winning real estate broker at Brown Harris Stevens and also represents buyers and sellers in Manhattan real estate as the co-founder of the Friedman-Rosenthal team. Seth and Mark share with listeners how they can have lenders fight for their business. They talk about interest rates and how to win the property.
When divorce happens, one party may potentially need to keep the home and refinance, and the other is going to be moving out and potentially buying.
Self-employed borrowers need to work with mortgage brokers as opposed to mortgage bankers - it affords them more options and different ways to structure their loan.
You have to be smart about who you hire as a mortgage broker, and ensure that you do research yourself as well.
People who work in banks will act in the interest of their employers, and in order to keep them happy they will sell clients whatever product their lender has available, which may or may not be what works best for the client.

May 31, 2022Closing the Gap between Financial Analysis and Legal Requirements
Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan are the founders of My Divorce Solution, a divorce preparation platform team that includes a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) and Legal Liaison (LL). Having both experienced divorce, they combined their professional experiences in the financial and legal world to develop the MDS Financial Portrait™, which endeavors to erase the confusion and frustration you have been facing during the divorce process. Karen and Catherine share insights about their services - they talk about how they build each client’s Portrait, how their process works, and how they help clients move on.
During the divorce process, there is often a gap between financial analysis and legal requirements. Financials mostly focus on data, which is only helpful in litigation and in processing a divorce if you have the documentation to support it.
Not knowing what you have, what you need, what you want, and what your options are is a detriment to yourself - you can’t make smart decisions if you don’t have the proper information.
My Divorce Solution prides themselves on their symmetry in documentation - they have flowing communication with every professional involved in their client’s divorce process, and share information so that things progress smoothly without any confusion,
Divorce does not define who you are. It is a chapter in your story, and you get to define who you are moving forward.

May 17, 2022Reversing Downward Spirals
Jaime Morgan is a Certified Life Coach who has helped many women going through the divorce process move toward a new life filled with happiness. She brings years of experience to her clients, as well as her personal experiences with a failed marriage and divorce, as she assists them in creating action-oriented plans for life post-divorce. Jaime guides listeners through a three step process they can use to “accept, surrender, and move on.” She shares tips for dispelling “negative Nellies” - unhappy thoughts about yourself and your situation - and turning downward spirals upwards.
Accepting your situation begins with looking within. It’s human nature to point fingers when bad things happen to us, but we have no power over the things outside of us - we don’t have control by wanting everything else to change. We only have power over our thoughts, actions, and reactions.
Letting go is the result of other actions. It involves creating a new awareness of your thought patterns and saying “it is what it is” when you find yourself dwelling on regrets. It takes constant practice and intention - it’s not going to happen overnight.
Meditation helps you organize your thoughts and acknowledge your emotions. By taking a break and simply focusing on your body, you give yourself an opportunity to stop an adverse reaction dead in its tracks.
True, authentic confidence occurs when we know our flaws inside out and are willing to do the work to mitigate them. We know who we are and what we need, and we accept it all - we love the good with the bad.
