FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER DIVORCE HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Leah Hadley, founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions SUMMARY: One of the things that most divorced women struggle with is financial confidence. Financial confidence is a critical factor to consider before, during, and after a divorce. Before divorce proceedings commence, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your financial situation, including assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. This knowledge is a powerful tool that will help you make informed decisions and negotiate equitable settlements. Ultimately, financial confidence involves not only obtaining the necessary financial information but also getting organized and seeking support from a divorce financial specialist who can provide expert guidance in navigating the complex financial aspects of divorce. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Leah Hadley, the founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions. Together, they discuss how you can build your financial confidence before, during, and after divorce. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Financial fears run the gamic when it comes to divorce. So many women are terrified they will run out of money, not have the income to support themselves, and give up the lifestyle and community they enjoy.Financial abuse can show up in various ways, including limited access to financial information, reduced access to finances, and concealed assets. What kind of financial professionals should I have in my divorce team? When you are going through a divorce, it's important that you have professionals who have credentials in divorce-specific areas.Even the same assets can have different tax returns, and you have to consider the different implications when negotiating and dividing assets.No matter what assets you want, if you are considering financial security after divorce, you have to prioritize having liquid cash assets when negotiating. Cash is king. Prioritize it and ensure you have access to it. NOTABLE QUOTES:You should always have access to information about your own financial situation; it's a big red flag if it's a trigger or an issue for somebody to bring up a topic around their financial situation. (Bela) Not every asset comparison is equal; if you want to keep the house and your partner gets the 401k, there are different tax implications that make the net not equal. (Beverly) If you're in a situation where you have access to financial information, take advantage of it and make copies of statements; it's incredible how difficult it can be in some cases to start collecting financial information once the divorce gets started. (Bela) Get clear on where you lack knowledge and start to increase that knowledge; nobody is born knowing how to manage money well. That is a learned skill, and you can learn by allowing yourself the opportunity. (Bela) Money doesn't have power over you; it's simply a tool you can learn to use well to reach your goals. (Bela) If you want to keep your marital home and offset that with retirement assets, make sure you understand what you're giving up because sometimes, when we are looking at the here and now and what will keep us comfortable at the moment, we are giving up something more meaningful and can cause financial difficulty in the future.

Today I am joined by Leah Hadley, the Founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions. Leah is on the show to talk about financial preparation before, during, and after a divorce. She provides some incredible tips on how to set yourself up so you are knowledgeable about your finances as well as planning for the next steps. Leah provides a full list of items in this episode for you to collect throughout the divorce to be successful. Tune in today so you can be prepared!  In this episode: [2:04] What led Leah to help people through finances and divorce? [7:52] What things should people prepare before a divorce? [11:04] Is there ever a negative implication for running your credit report? [12:10] How to get the education to be knowledgeable during the divorce process. [16:03] What questions do you need to ask yourself when splitting up assets to ensure that you have financial security? [20:13] What to look at and how to set yourself up for success post divorce.  Key Takeaways:  Divorce provides you with an opportunity to determine your own values. Many times we negotiate our values or lose sight of them while in a marriage, so this is a time to reclaim your life. Many people find themselves in a way after divorce that is truly beautiful. Understanding the current financial situation is essential when going into a divorce. Being aware of what the budget is, what your fixed expenses are, and where there is financial liquidity will lead to coming out on the other side in a better situation. Things will likely shift post divorce as far as expenses and the luxuries that you are able to have. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you may end up realizing that you feel better in a different home or with a different vehicle. Less financial stress leads to a more peaceful life and home.  Quotes:  “If you're stressed, you're financially strapped to try to stay in this home, that just creates a lot more angst around the whole financial situation, and it just gets worse. It doesn't get easier, it compounds if you're already in a tight financial situation.” - Leah Hadley  “When you get to reclaim your life in this next chapter, you get to decide what am I going to prioritize, what are my values?” - Leah Hadley Guest Bio:  As the Founder/CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions and Great Lakes Investment Management, Leah strives to help clients secure their financial independence through a strategic financial planning process.  Leah is a sought-after speaker on overcoming financial setbacks, avoiding financial mistakes in divorce, and overcoming financial abuse.

This week Jodie speaks with an incredible woman – Leah Hadley – who is the founder of Great Lakes Divorce and Financial Solutions.  Leah is a nationally recognized financial empowerment expert and an award-winning financial planner who is on a mission to provide women compassionate financial guidance before, during and after a divorce to help them secure financial confidence and independence.  In this episode, we discuss:  - why we (as women) MUST be across our own finances and our financial future;  - how women can access the financial information they need;  - the most important step a woman can take to increase her financial confidence;  - why we want to be realistic about where we are emotionally in the divorce process so we can make objective financial decisions rather than emotional ones;  - the common mistakes women make after divorce that can cost them a lot of money;  - the important thing you must consider if you're divorcing a narcissist;  - how to ensure you know who you are around money and be able to communicate that; and  - the keys to keep your budget in check after the divorce is over.  There's nothing more freeing than being in charge of our finances and being able to make our own choices about the future and this episode will help you do just that.  Whether your going through divorce, should be going though a divorce (wink) or helping a friend through a divorce… this episode will give you great tips on what to consider and how to take back your power. x Jodie & Anastasia RiSe Women Leah Hadley - Great Lakes Financial Solutions
