On the latest episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Catherine Shanahan and Karen Chellew, the founders of My Divorce Solution and the hosts of the We Chat Divorce Podcast about changing the way we think about money and divorce preparation.
In this episode we discussed:
- The importance of being informed and financially prepared.
- Why you need to know what you want and why you want it.
- How financial clarity will give you more space and lead to better conversations.
- Why you should be intentional and aware without judgement.
- The importance of enjoying life and all the opportunities life brings you.
