Chris Dale | Grief, Money & Leadership After Loss
About this episode
What does it look like when grief walks into the boardroom — and nobody names it? Chris Dale has built his entire practice around exactly that moment: when loss meets money, identity, and the pressure to keep performing.
In this episode:
• Why the first six months after a loss are the most financially dangerous — and what decisions should never be made during that window
• The difference between intuitive and analytical grievers, and how that shapes every financial conversation Chris has with clients
• What a leader in acute grief actually looks like from the inside, and what the people around them should be watching for
• Why three to five days of bereavement leave is a policy built for logistics, not humans — and what global organizations should change first
Chris Dale is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Certified Financial Transitionist (CeFT®), and the founder of Life After Grief Financial Planning, based in Orlando, Florida. He specializes in helping people navigate the financial and emotional weight that follows the loss of a loved one. His recently published book, *Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers with Shaking Hands*, draws on decades of personal and professional experience at the intersection of money, trauma, and resilience.
