KEY TAKEAWAYS

Divorce is often an emotional time, so understanding what matters most financially is crucial.

Clients frequently focus on assets like the family home and pensions without knowing their full financial implications.

Emotional attachment to assets can sometimes hinder practical and beneficial financial decisions.

Seeing the bigger financial picture helps clients secure long-term stability post-divorce.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"What we typically see is people will get fixated on the house or on the pension."

"People often attach emotion to assets — like the house being tied to the children's continuity and stability."

"Rarely do they understand what that actually means in practical terms."

"Holding onto that might actually not be the best decision in the long term."

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an 'I hate men' podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside. 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

My mission - to help women and mothers globally to recover from relationship pain,  lead meaningful happy lives and inspire their children to succeed.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don't hate men! It's important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
