Divorce and Uncoupling: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Finances with Nikki Tucker, CDFA®

DIVORCE/UNCOUPLING: A difficult journey and sometimes a necessary one.

If you are considering separation, divorce, or uncoupling from your parnter, this is the episode for you! (Even if you're not...every woman should listen to this episode).

I had the good fortune to talk with Nikki Tucker, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) and founder of The FIIRM Approach, on what every woman in a relationship should do to make sure she can protect her financial standing. 

Nikki and I talk about: 

• The current economic environment and how that should be a motivation for every woman to get her finances in order 
• The importance of basic awareness of your finances: too often, we might avoid our finances or outsource them to our partner in relationships--we need to be in touch with them so that we have clarity on what's actually going on
• The reality that most women leave a relationship and experience poorer financial outcomes than their male ex-partners 
• The importance of getting usernames and passwords organized and running your credit to make sure you have access to your financial systems and records 
• How preparation can support you in weathering the emotional aspects of divorce/uncoupling 
• The importance of connecting with your future self when we're in the middle of divorce proceedings and negotiations; remembering that you want your future self to say: "Thank you for looking out for us." 

I have been wanting to talk with a CDFA® for a long time so that our community of podcast listeners can have tools they can use to take action when considering and navigating the divorce and uncoupling process.
