In a world where life's transitions often have heavy financial implications, Leah Hadley is a beacon of guidance and support. On this episode of Grieving Voices, Leah—founder of Intentional Wealth Partners and Intentional Divorce Solutions—shared her journey from investment analyst to empowering individuals through some of their most challenging moments, including divorce, of which she brings her personal experiences into her work with others.

Leah navigated personal upheavals such as adoption and divorce while building her career in finance for over fifteen years. Her transition to entrepreneurship was not just about professional growth but also about creating flexibility to address the nuanced needs of her own family and those facing significant life changes like divorce.

Key Points Discussed:

  • Leah's transition from an investment analyst to starting her own business to accommodate her role as an adoptive mother and her experience through divorce.
  • The challenges faced during divorce include co-parenting dynamics, emotional turmoil, and financial restructuring.
  • The importance of understanding one’s finances when heading into a divorce.
  • The importance of support systems.
  • Working as both an advocate for one spouse or neutrally for couples to optimize marital estate division fairly.

One core message from our conversation was the critical need for financial clarity amidst the emotional storm of separation. Leah underscored how even experts can feel overwhelmed when emotions cloud judgment—a powerful reminder that during times of distress, having expert advice isn't just helpful; it's essential.

For anyone facing the daunting path of divorce, Leah advises taking measured steps toward thoroughly understanding their finances before making any decisions. This approach minimizes costly mistakes and ensures today's choices positively shape the future.
