About
Most financial mistakes in divorce don't happen because people are careless. They happen because smart people are making big, permanent decisions while their world feels upside down. I bring the research and the numbers, plus what it actually feels like to make these decisions under pressure, because I've been through divorce myself. Every audience leaves with a clearer way to think, not just a longer to-do list.
