Good morning World, Good Morning Michigan, and unfortunately Michael Patrick

you all for tuning in and listening today. As many
of you probably have, I've heard me before. I'm a
guest on the show fairly often, and I also know
Michael well and I own the wyof Wellness Center in
East Lansing, where medical practice is committed to integrative and
(01:23):
functional medicine finding the root cause or causes of chronic
medical conditions. And we had a guest earlier from the
MAHA Action Group talking about chronic disease in this country
and how it's just an epidemic and how it's so
hard for the average person and the consumer to get
a handle on that and to move make changes. But
(01:45):
that's kind of what we do. We try to find
natural ways, whether it's diet supplements, balancing hormones, looking at methylation,
intravenous therapies. That's really what we specialize at wyof Wellness.
We can be of service to you. Look us up
at Wycoff Wycoff Wellness dot com, call us at five
(02:06):
one seven three three three seven two seven zero, or
listen to me on my podcast Pathways to Wellness with
Doctor John Wycoff.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
We've had a couple guests today talking about financial matters
and it's a privilege for me to welcome our next guest.
She worked for a Mayor Prize Financial She is a
certified financial planner and she is an area of expertise
they called a CDFA, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. Let's
(02:39):
it's a pleasure to welcome Kylie Mohammed to the show.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Good morning, Good morning, how are you well?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You know, I'm well, it's a great day and the
sun's coming up, and you know, it gets you know,
I haven't had to get up at four point thirty
in the morning very often, but it's a different world
in Michigan and in Lansing at five am.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I know all that.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I did find that out, but absolutely so tell me
a little bit about your work with Amerorprize and your
work and your area of interest and how people might
how you can be helped to them.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Of course, so today I'm actually wanting to talk in
the capacity of something called Second Saturday. Second Saturday is
a national nonprofit that hosts divorce workshops across the country.
We do these divorce workshops here in the Lansing area
as well as virtually and online, really focusing on educating
and empowering people who are considering or maybe even going
(03:37):
through divorce.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Do you work with men and women who are in
that process? And that's got to be certainly a settling
time for individuals and a lot of fragility and trying
to sort out, you know, what's going to happen during
a divorce.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Absolutely, yes, both men and women are welcome to the workshops.
You know, we find that the way to really reduce
the fear and the stress as you're going on this
emotional roller coaster is through education and gaining more knowledge
on how the process looks, what you might be going through,
some questions that are really important to you know, each
(04:18):
person's individual situation. And while we don't provide necessarily recommendations
in these conversations, we can help kind of hone in
on where someone might want to focus a little bit
more and start asking themselves some questions, you know, things
like how is child or spousal support calculated? Can I
(04:38):
afford to keep the house? Does it matter who files first?
And should I file first? How do we even look
at dividing our assets?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
We build the life.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Together and now we need to be mingle everything. So
how does that process work? So with the format that
we have, you have myself talking about the financial aspects.
We have an attorney that comes in and goes through
the legal issues and the legal process.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
And then you have a mental health professional who helps
give some strategies on how to cope and how to
deal with the emotions as they're having some really hard
conversations not only with maybe their spouse, maybe the kids,
if their kids, involved other professionals.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
And making sure that we take care of ourselves during
this time.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
So the second Saturday program is structure to help people
with that time of difficult choices, especially as they go
through a divorce, with maybe an emphasis on getting trying
to get their financial issues in line, but giving them
specific concrete ideas as to how to move forward and
not just be lost and not knowing who to turn to.
(05:54):
Is that fair?
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Very fair? Yes, we want to be a support them
and a resource for anybody that comes to us. And
during the workshop is a really great time to get
some one on one questions asked, well maybe not one
on one of the group setting, right, but to get
some some specific questions asked. But then we're also here
after the workshop and we're available as a resource and
(06:18):
you make some really good connections and build a wonderful
support system, because that's really important during the time people
are not alone and so often we hear that they
don't know who to turn to and so we're here
to help that.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I think that's true, and I think they get caught
up with the lawyering aspect of, you know, going through
a divorce, and certainly that has a as a role
and it's important. But I see patients too that are
going through those changes and they're very fragile, and so actually,
you know, the work that you do and the work
that I do sometimes I are very similar. I think
(06:55):
that sometimes I'm as much of a psychologist as I
am a physician. Now, you listen to people, you have
to process what they're feeling, what they're going through, and
maybe just and maybe it is just.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Listening sometimes definitely and sometimes too. I feel like that's
what leads people to this position and considering divorces. Over time,
we grow, we change, we value things differently. You know,
what we where we spend our money might be different
than where our partner spends their money, and how we
(07:28):
potentially could be building animosity through that process.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
So to.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Have that, you know, lens of value behavior what's important
to you when we're coming into these conversations is really important.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And you would also see people just for general investment
advice if they wanted to get involved with whatever they
need to do to reach their financial goals and their
marriage is stable.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So we help on the investment side
of things. We work on collaborative financial planning, so we
have great relationships with our clients that we talk about
how they're going to meet their goals and what they
need to do, and if their goals are met, how
do we make them better? How do we protect and
shore up any vulnerabilities. Everybody has transition in life at
(08:19):
any given time. Divorce is just one of the many
transitions that come up, and so life's not a straight line.
We've got to be able to pivot and just and
make make things better.
