1900: Money, Divorce, and Midlife Reinvention

This is episode 1900, friends! Ten years of conversations about our money, our fears, our growth, and the power that comes when we take control of our financial lives.

I can’t think of a better guest to mark this milestone than my longtime friend and former colleague, Tracy Byrnes.

Tracy and I go way back to our early days in broadcast journalism, when we reported from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and hustled to make our voices heard in a male-dominated industry. These days, Tracy is using her voice and expertise as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) to help women, especially those in midlife, regain control of their finances and their futures after divorce.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many smart, capable women feel ashamed about not knowing enough about money — and how to change that.
• The biggest financial mistakes women make during and after divorce, from clinging to the family home to rushing big money decisions.
• How to rebuild your financial confidence post-divorce — and why sometimes the best move is to pause, breathe, and rent before you buy.
• And how women can safeguard themselves in marriage — even the happiest ones — by asking the right questions and making sure both partners know where the money is.

To reach Tracy, you can connect with her on LinkedIn or email her [email protected]
