What You Need to Know About Divorce, Money and Starting Again

Hello, Jenny.

Hi.

Before we dive into the subject, can you share your story with us?

Yeah, absolutely.

So I actually went through my own divorce, uh, about four years ago now, luckily, relatively amicably.

But I think any point where you go from a we to a me-

Mm

... is a massive life shift.

And so for me, looking back, actually, there's so many things that I wish I had known at the time, areas that I had to kind of scrabble around for information that I wish was clearer.

Mm.

And then from a day-to-day perspective, what I do for work, I really look at how people think and feel when it comes to money and their future.

So that gives me a little bit more insight, I guess, into what we're thinking and feeling when big changes happen and when we're trying to relook at our finances.

So I'm hoping I can bring together a little bit of that personal experience and also that insight through the work that I do to help anyone who is potentially looking at a divorce right now-

Mm

... separating, even a big breakup, actually-

Yeah

... because I, I think it's just as relevant in that situation.

And then actually, anyone who's still in a loving partnership or looking for a partner and really wants to think about the sorts of conversations that we should be having about money-

Mm

... no matter what.

Mm.

Well, I'm sure your insight is gonna be incredibly helpful here.
