🎤 Episode 1: What Is a CDFA®? | Why You Can’t Afford NOT to Hire a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®

Welcome to the very first episode of the Divorce & Money Podcast, a space I created to help people facing divorce make confident, informed financial decisions in the middle of uncertainty.


After more than two decades in the divorce world, I’ve seen how often people are left in the dark when it comes to the financial side of divorce. The truth is, divorce is not just a legal process, it is a deeply financial one. And if you are not prepared, it can cost you far more than you expect.


In this episode, I’m sharing exactly why financial strategy is essential from the start, and what you need to look out for when choosing the right professionals to support you.


🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


✔️ Why divorce is first and foremost a financial decision

✔️ What sets a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) apart from a traditional advisor

✔️ Red flags to watch for when someone is blending divorce advice with product sales

✔️ Why hiring the right help is not a cost—it is an investment in your future.
