In this Part 1 episode Psychic and Medium Jo Nadzielski shares her journey from a Forensic Accountant to embracing her mediumistic skill in connecting with the other side. We go deep into religion, and how Catholicism has conditioned us to fear the Spirit world. This I thought is important to highlight as many people who come to me to learn communication with Spirit or are going through an awakening, or simply want a reading, they fear that it's bad, or that they're doing something bad, or that they're not safe. This can certainly create a big barrier in the communication.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:● Knowledge is power, and you should not sign a settlement without having a clear picture of your financial situation. Even if you are not suspicious and want the divorce over with, you still need all the facts before you sign the settlement agreement because you only have one chance to get the right settlement.● “I just wanted to be done” is a common statement after divorce that often comes from the biggest mistake most women make: letting the emotions hijack them to the point of throwing off their hands, taking whatever is on the table, and settling it.● “Let's save money. We don't need an attorney.” When your spouse tries to rush you into the agreement without an attorney, this is a big red flag. You need someone on your side to help you evaluate things objectively.● There is a whole laundry of red flags, but some of the most common in a divorce situation is a behavior change, which could be a change in schedule and whereabouts, how they are spending money, how they are paying for things, and not giving you access to money and financial information.● If you are thinking about filing a divorce, the first thing you should do is to gather information. Information is your friend; get all the statements for your joint accounts before you say anything to your spouse. NOTABLE QUOTES:● You might trust your spouse and think that those couple of accounts you don't have the statements for aren't a big deal, but why is he not disclosing the statements to you if they weren't a big deal and there is nothing to worry about? (Tracy)● Money and finance are the biggest concerns for people in divorce, and one of the biggest expenditures is going to be for your attorney,...

What is financial infidelity, and what steps can women take to protect themselves against it? In this episode, Kimberlee talks with Forensic Accountant Tracy Coenen about the warning signs of financial infidelity, the protections you should have in place before and during a marriage, and the process you can expect if you work with a forensic accountant during your divorce. Tracy is the creator of the Divorce Money Guide, and she has so many practical insights to share about protecting your financial future and navigating complicated divorce proceedings. Episode Recap: Today we're talking with forensic accountant Tracy Coenen (1:15) Take these steps before starting divorce proceedings (4:03) Why is it so important to know about your finances? (8:21) What does financial infidelity look like? (11:21) Know these warning signs of financial infidelity (15:10) How does financial infidelity impact divorce proceedings?

And I don't want to shame anyone, because I believe women are still victims of the historical narrative of how we've been trained mentally. That we should be nurturers and kind and not talking about money and all that stuff, because somehow that's looked upon as being anti-feminine. I still think there's a lot of that around. I still hear to this day, which is shocking to me, that people say the minute you get married you should comingle everything. I say that's absolutely not what you should do. You should be intentional about what you do comingle, but you should also keep your eye on the ball of what all the marriage includes."“What should we be doing to try to protect ourselves before we get to this sort of bad situation?”“You're right that it really is hard to protect yourself when it comes to that company. You can't control what they're going to do with that company. What I can say is if you have financial information that you have access to and you collect that and keep it, that is one step. But because we can't control what they're doing with the company, I like to say the better way to protect yourself is thinking about, ‘What can I control? I can have a bank account that is in my name only that I can put money in, that no one can ever close without my permission, that no one can ever access that money without my permission. I can take a step like making sure that you have a credit card in your name only. No one else can charge on that card, no one else can close that card. That is going to be your safeguard if you ever do need to leave or get divorced.”

Business Succession from a Forensic Accountant's PerspectiveIn this episode we had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Stremater, Senior Manager at SDK CPA's and forensic accounting specialist. Ryan's job puts skepticism before all else. He's an expert at digging deep into the details of the story that financials tell about a business and he's been an expert witness in some very interesting litigation situations. What we know after talking with Ryan is that any seller of a business would never want to be faced with the kinds of situations he sees on a regular basis and preventing those from happening and living with regret is simply a matter of hiring the right advisors well before a liquidity event!Post closing disputes happen often, and the most common that Ryan sees are in adjustments to Working Capital and Earn Outs after the closing. Ryan said that Earn Outs are "Today's disagreement over price that becomes tomorrow's litigation over outcome".  In other words, be very careful with Earn Outs, and make sure you have the right team of advisors to structure it properly, should you have to go that route in a sale. Lots more to learn: listen to the episode now and connect with Ryan Stretmater hereThank you to our show sponsors!

From Theranos to Enron, we can't get enough of corporate scandals. We also can't get enough of the intriguing people who perpetrate them. But instigators of fraud are not all Disneyesque villains chasing money and power at any cost, says DePaul University accounting professor Kelly Richmond Pope. She studies white-collar crime and finds that besides intentional perpetrators, there are also accidental and righteous ones. And she shares real stories of these long-overlooked employees and explains exactly which behaviors and incentives should raise red flags for managers and leaders. Pope is the author of the new book Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion-Dollar Fraud Industry.

Have you heard of financial infidelity? How about financial abuse? Whether you're married, headed for divorce or in the process of getting a divorce, you don't want to miss listening to forensic accountant and fraud expert, Tracy Coenen. Tracy felt drawn to helping women without making them feel ashamed about any lack of money knowledge. Too often women are not aware of their family's financial picture. Tracy's seen money being hidden, money used to control a spouse, and downright fraud. Sometimes it's not about an unethical spouse. More often it is simply that a woman doesn't know how much they have in savings, how much the mortgage is, or what investments have been made and suddenly they need to understand it. Tracy shows you where and how to start.  Not only is this a fascinating listen, but it's educational and just might help you or someone you know. Tracy has a brand-new Divorce Money Guide to help you find money, feel empowered, and become financially informed.

She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.   Contact Info:https://www.divorcemoneyguide.com https://www.instagram.com/divorcemoneyguide Free Giveaway: $100 off Divorce Money Guide with code: JOURNEY Request a Free Rapid Relief Call at http://rapidreliefcall.com/ For more information on Journey Beyond Divorce visit:  www.jbddivorcesupport.com
