If you aren’t fully informed about your finances in marriage, you can’t negotiate from a level playing field in divorce.

That’s why Adrienne Grace is committed to helping women with what she calls holistic financial planning.

So, what is holistic financial planning? How can it help you negotiate a realistic divorce settlement and build a plan for the future?

Adrienne is the Women’s Wealth Advocate and Holistic Financial Planner behind Transitioning Finances, a platform where she guides women and couples to successfully negotiate divorce settlements, survive financial transitions and rebuild afterward.
