Ep 15: Knowing Your Finances in Marriage and Divorce with Michelle Lawless
Women & Money: The Shit We Don't Talk About!
07/28/22 • 33 min
On today’s episode, Michelle Lawless, an experienced litigator in the field of family law joins us to explain how she is helping women through divorce. She enjoys helping people navigate divorce outside of the courtroom, giving them a customized approach to divorce, and finding an agreement between parties in this tough situation.
With every consultation, Michelle breaks down the issues people will face through a divorce legally and financially. Divorce is state-based and the law is a bit different depending on where you are. For Michelle, she focuses on property settlements, spousal support, and children support.
The biggest hurdle she sees women face is when they know very little or perhaps nothing about the finances of their marriage. It’s common for one spouse to take lead in the financial planning, but if you are unaware of your finances, it can make divorce a lot more difficult. Investigating and educating becomes a big part of Michelle’s role in these cases.
We also will discuss:
· How Michelle works with clients that aren’t knowledgeable about their finances.
· Some client stories and the issues women face financially when facing divorce.
· Recommendations on becoming more educated about your finances.

Socially responsible investing gives women the choices and power to put their money where they want to, in a way that works for them. On today’s episode, Beth Wahlig one of our resident experts joins us to break down this topic and how women can impact the world through responsible investing.

These goals include social, environmental, and other rights that are important to many of us. Similarly, socially responsible investing focuses on values. You are trying to have a direct impact through investment, supporting a company working towards real actionable change.
With the current state of the world, there are more opportunities than ever to make an impact by investing in various fields. The first step is approaching your advisor and making it clear which values you want to support in your portfolio.

Ep 5: Marriage and Money with Lisa Kaplin
Women & Money: The Shit We Don't Talk About!
02/24/22 • 24 min
Our guest on today’s show is Lisa Kaplin, a psychologist, Certified Professional Life and Executive Coach, and an experienced corporate speaker. A lot of stress can come from our relationships and finances but Lisa is helping women work through these stresses to have healthier and wealthier lives.

So it’s no surprise that finances can be one of the top reasons for an argument in a relationship. But, Lisa is changing the game by teaching couples to approach money in terms of curiosity and understanding instead.
Join us today as we discuss:
- Lisa’s career, background, and involvement in Purse Strings
- Why do we have a hard time talking about money in relationships?
