Losing a spouse can shake every part of life—but God promises to walk with you through each next step.When loss turns life upside down, even simple financial decisions can feel overwhelming. But with God's help—and a few practical steps forward—there is hope and healing ahead. Today, Valerie Hogan joins us to share guidance for navigating the financial journey after losing a spouse.Valerie Hogan is an attorney, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a member of Kingdom Advisors, and the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with Miriam Neff. Grief and Finances Are Deeply ConnectedWhen grief hits, clarity often disappears. You may feel pressure to “get everything settled” or, on the other hand, find it impossible to make even small decisions. Both reactions are normal.Grief colors everything. It's difficult to separate financial choices from emotional pain. And that's okay. The key is to give yourself permission not to have all the answers right away.Statistics show that about 80% of women will outlive their husbands. That means most of us will one day find ourselves managing finances alone. And many women, especially from earlier generations, weren't as involved in financial decisions during marriage.After loss, that reality can be intimidating. Suddenly, you're faced with choices about investments, taxes, home maintenance, and budgets—often with less income and more years of life ahead. Those early months matter, but they shouldn't be rushed.Start with This Truth: God Owns It AllBefore any practical steps, I want to anchor you in a truth that has carried me and countless others through difficult seasons: God owns it all.Everything we have belongs to Him, and He is with us as we steward it. Remembering that doesn't erase the pain, but it reminds us we're not alone. It shifts the weight of control off our shoulders and invites God's wisdom into our decisions.That truth gives us permission to move slowly and prayerfully. Stewardship is not about perfection—it's about trust.Steps for Navigating the Early DaysHere are some guiding steps I often share with widows who ask, “Where do I even begin?”1. Take One Step at a TimeYou don't need to fix everything today. Unless a change is absolutely urgent, give yourself space to rest and recover. Grief has a way of making even simple tasks feel monumental. Be patient with yourself.2. Avoid Major Financial Moves Too SoonTry not to make significant financial decisions while emotions are raw. Some women have sold homes, moved away, or invested large sums during intense grief—only to regret it later. Wait until your heart is steadier before making big changes.3. Get Organized, Little by LittleLoss often leaves behind a mountain of paperwork. Start small—maybe one pile, one folder, one hour. Ask a trusted friend or advisor to help if it feels overwhelming. Progress comes one decision at a time.4. Track What's Coming In and Going OutAwareness brings peace. You don't have to overhaul your budget immediately—just begin noticing where money is going. Clarity grows with consistency.5. Lean on Trusted AdvisorsChoose people who will look out for your best interest—those with integrity and experience, not pressure or sales motives. A trusted financial planner, attorney, or advisor can help you think clearly when emotions run high.6. Anchor Everything in PrayerThis is the most important step. God cares deeply when His people are hurting. Invite Him into every conversation, every decision, every bill you open. He is your provider and your comforter.Build a “Personal Board of Directors”Form a personal board of directors—a small circle of wise people you can lean on for different kinds of counsel.You might include:A spiritually mature friend who prays with youA financial professional with integrityAn encourager who helps you stay hopefulA practical helper who can sit with you through paperworkEach one brings something valuable. Just remember: not every encourager is a financial guide, and not every advisor is a prayer partner. Surround yourself with a balanced mix of wisdom and compassion.Know It. Own It. Like It. Change It.In their book Wise Women Managing Money, Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan use a simple four-part framework that applies beautifully here:Know it—Gather the facts. What do you own? What do you owe?Own it—Accept responsibility for your new role as steward.Like it—Evaluate your current situation honestly.Change it—Begin making small, steady adjustments that align with your goals and faith.You don't need to have it all figured out. Start by knowing where you are—and trust that God will guide each next step.If you've recently lost your spouse, please hear this: there are brighter days ahead. It may not feel that way now, but God will give you strength and wisdom in time. I've seen hundreds of widows rebuild, heal, and even thrive again.Take one step at a time. Pray often. Surround yourself with wise, loving people. And remember—you're not alone.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A friend once told me they only tip 10% at restaurants, so they don't end up giving a server more than they give to God. Now that's stuck with me—every time I eat out, I think about it. Am I looking at this the wrong way? What's the right, biblical way to think about tipping and giving?I recently set up a trust, and I own two homes—one's paid off and the other still has a mortgage. Both properties are titled in my name. Do I need to transfer or re-deed those homes into the trust, or can I leave them as they are since they're already in my name?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D. Widow ConnectionWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Brian Thompson takes a deep dive into one of the most important tenets for mission-driven business owners: clarity. Clarity may sound simple, but it's not easy. If done well, clarity can be the foundation for building a business that truly supports your mission and your life. Once you find clarity, everything else becomes easier, and this episode gives you tips on how to do just that. Episode Highlights Clarity enables mission-driven entrepreneurs to build their business around their life. Building a business — particularly a mission-driven one — is filled with ambiguity. There's no single blueprint or one-size-fits-all formula. Without clarity, decisions feel overwhelming. But with clarity, decisions become faster and more intentional. You build a business that fits your life, instead of trying to fit your life around your business. The Discovery process cultivates clarity. In Brian's financial planning business, the first phase is the Discovery process, which includes three key meetings: the Get Organized meeting, the Vision meeting, and the Knowledge meeting. Rather than creating a rigid five-year plan, entrepreneurs design a framework that allows for flexibility, growth, and evolution. Clarity isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. Without clarity, you're stuck in reactive mode, chasing whatever opportunity lands in your inbox and making decisions based on fear. Intentional planning brings clarity, and clarity empowers action. If you're feeling pulled in too many directions, ask yourself: Do I know what I want? Do I have a plan that aligns with my values? Am I building a business that supports your life, or one that consumes it.

Burnout doesn't hit all at once—it builds slowly through disorganization, lack of delegation, and broken systems. By hitting reset NOW, you can protect your vision, expand your capacity, and step fully into your role as the confident, prepared, and effective leader your school needs.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, I'm sharing with you several resources that I use with my own clients when marking important decisions and planning for their retirement.  Today's free resource is my financial inventory list.  In my opinion, this is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones - take an inventory of all of your bank accounts, investment accounts, insurance policies - all in one place. Think of it as a table of contents for your finances.  An unlike organizing your garage which can be overwhelming and likely to never get done, all it takes to get organized with your finances all in one place is to fill out this inventory list. You'll use the inventory list to list your accounts, the type, the dollar amount, and the financial institution where they are held. That way if you die or become incapacitated tomorrow, your spouse, your children, or your executor will have your complete list of assets right at their fingertips. No digging through 30 year old bankers boxes to go through the process of claiming money through the state. The financial inventory also has a section to put your trusted contacts - your attorney, tax advisor, financial advisor. These trusted contacts become so valuable in the days and weeks following a death or incapacitation, and it's important that your spouse or executor knows exactly who to contact. And even if you're not using it for estate purposes, it's just really helpful to have your financial accounts all listed on one page. Then, all you need to do is make updates when you add, remote, or transfer an account, and review it annually.  Easy peasy. It's one of those great projects thats low time investment for a big reward - clarity, organization, and peace of mind.  To get your free financial inventory worksheet, just go to www.truenorthra.com/inventory
