The Financial Side of Divorce: Making Intentional Choices with Leah Hadley

Episode Summary

Divorce isn’t just an emotional journey—it’s a financial one, too. And for many, the financial aspect can feel just as overwhelming as the heartbreak itself. In this episode of Getting to the Heart, I sit down with Leah Hadley, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Accredited Financial Counselor, and Mediator, to talk about what it really means to make intentional financial decisions during and after divorce. Leah shares her own deeply personal experiences—navigating divorce, adopting a sibling group of three, and building her business from the ground up—and how those challenges shaped her commitment to helping others find financial clarity in the midst of major life transitions. We dive into some of the biggest financial mistakes people make during divorce and how to avoid them, the emotional side of money, and why it’s never too late to start making empowered financial decisions—even if you’ve never handled the finances before. If you’re feeling uncertain about your financial future, this conversation will give you the guidance and reassurance you need to take the next step forward with confidence. In this episode, we discuss: 💡 Leah’s personal journey and what led her to this work 💡 The biggest financial mistakes people make during divorce 💡 How to balance financial decisions with emotional well-being 💡 Rebuilding financial confidence, especially if you weren’t the primary decision-maker 💡 Special considerations for parents navigating divorce 💡 Free resources and workshops to help you feel more prepared If you’re facing divorce and worried about what’s next financially, Leah’s insight will remind you that you don’t have to figure this out alone—there are people and resources to support you.
