Does a solo mom with limited means need asset protection strategies?

The only answer is, yes!

In this conversation, Scherrie Prince, an attorney, coach, and speaker, discusses the importance of asset protection for entrepreneurs, particularly solo moms and mompreneurs. 

She explains how protecting personal and business assets can create a secure foundation for the future. Sherrie shares her personal experiences and what motivated her to become an asset protection coach. 

Scherrie provides three tips for solo moms to protect their assets and emphasizes the need to regularly do an asset checkup and update important documents. 

Scherrie also explains her role as an asset protection coach and how she helps clients create a unified plan. She concludes by encouraging listeners to start their asset protection plan today.

Takeaways

• Protecting personal and business assets is important to protect your interests and ensure a smooth transition in case of unforeseen circumstances such as death or incapacitation
• One way for solo moms to protect their assets is to regularly review and update their beneficiary designations and important documents to protect their assets. (e.g. is your ex still a beneficiary on your life insurance?)
• An asset protection coach can help individuals create a unified plan and work with their existing team of professionals to optimize their asset protection strategies.
• Asset protection is not limited to those with significant wealth; everyone can benefit from having a plan in place to protect their assets.
• Recognize that you already may have a financial team (bank, insurance agent, tax preparer, etc.)

In this episode I speak with Crystal Fedeli, an alcohol recovery coach who shares her story of triumph over alcohol use disorder.

Listen as we peel back the layers of her personal struggle with alcohol addiction.

We delve into the complications of alcohol use disorder, probing the notion of remission and the need for interventions tailored to the neurochemical imbalances of addiction, much like how cochlear implants serve physical impairments.

Crystal's candid revelations not only illuminate her own path to sobriety but also highlight a message of hope and the promise of a renewed life for those entangled in the grip of alcohol.

Using Chrystal's experience, we challenge entrenched beliefs about the origins of alcoholism and the efficacy of conventional treatment protocols.

Her journey reflects a distinction between the ability to moderate drinking and the relentless hold of a neurochemical disorder.

Our dialogue pivots to uncovering the transformative potential of alternative recovery approaches that address the biological and neurological facets of addiction.

Crystal's voice carries with it the weight of experience and the clarity of hindsight, as we unravel the intertwined threads of addiction, underscoring that recovery is within reach with the right support and unwavering persistence.
