Why Work with a Financial Coach During Divorce?
Divorce brings new financial questions, challenges, and decisions that can feel like too much to handle alone. Often, your financial coach should be your first line of defense—someone who can help you get organized and prepared before meeting with a lawyer or financial advisor. Our goal is to empower you with clear, actionable steps to organize your finances, understand your assets, and protect your financial interests.
Here’s how we can help you prepare:
Organizing Financial Documents: We help you gather, organize, and understand essential financial documents, such as tax returns, bank statements, retirement accounts, and any joint assets.
Creating a New Budget: We assist in developing a budget that reflects your changing financial landscape, so you can feel secure in meeting your future needs.
Understanding Your Financial Options: From income planning to understanding the tax impacts of divorce, we guide you through your options with clarity and care.
Setting Future Financial Goals: Our goal is to help you envision and prepare for a strong financial future that aligns with your personal goals.

Recognize Yourself in These Situations? We Can Help
Divorce can leave you feeling unprepared, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Here are some common challenges we help women face and overcome:
“I don’t even know where to begin.”
Many women feel lost at the beginning of a divorce. We’ll provide a clear action plan to start building financial clarity from day one.
“How do I ensure a fair financial settlement?”
We’ll work with you to assess your financial situation so you’re informed and prepared when negotiating settlements.
“I need to protect my finances but don’t know how.”
Our coaches can help you create a budget, separate joint accounts, and protect your credit during this time.
“I’ve been out of the workforce and am worried about income.”
Whether you’re considering returning to work or seeking financial stability through other means, we’ll help you explore all options.
“I don’t want to make any financial mistakes.”
With an experienced financial coach by your side, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from making informed, confident decisions.
