Divorce, Money & Starting Over with Leah Hadley | Financial Planner Search

<p>In this episode of Financial Planner Search, Leah Hadley, founder of Intentional Wealth Partners and Intentional Divorce Solutions, discusses her work supporting people through divorce and the financial transitions that come with suddenly being on your own.<br /></p><p>Leah never planned on a career in finance. She was a burnt-out teacher drowning in student loans when she took a temp job on a trading floor and discovered there was an entire language around building and protecting wealth that nobody had ever taught her. <br /><br />That humbling moment set her on a path from equity research analyst to founding her own firms in 2016. Today she helps people, most of them newly single, widowed, or freshly divorced, who are responsible for their finances for the first time and waking up at night worrying about money. Having been through her own divorce, Leah brings a rare empathy to the work, and her philosophy is simple: no two divorces are the same, so meet people where they are, give them grace and space, and remember it's their plan, not hers.<br /></p><p>Takeaways</p><p>* Divorce financial planning is "financial planning on steroids"</p><p>* Clarity starts with getting money worries out of your head and onto paper</p><p>* A settlement is only as good as the plan behind it</p><p>* Confidence to spend matters as much as confidence to invest</p><p>* It's okay to get support — you don't have to figure it out alone<br /></p><p>Chapters</p><p>* 00:00 Meet Leah Hadley &amp; Her Two Companies</p><p>* 01:07 From Burnt-Out Teacher to Equity Research Analyst</p><p>* 05:50 Why Leah Specializes in Divorce</p><p>* 08:03 Who Comes to Leah for Help</p><p>* 12:36 The Woman With the Million-Dollar Settlement</p><p>* 17:45 First Steps to Get Centered</p><p>* 21:12 The Vision: It's Okay to Get Support</p><p>* 25:38 What Onboarding Looks Like<br /></p><p>You can find them at: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.intentionalwealthpartners.co" target="_blank">https://www.intentionalwealthpartners.co</a><br /></p><p>If you are a financial advisor looking to grow your business you can find out more about Wilnau Design at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wilnaudesign.com/" target="_blank">https://www.wilnaudesign.com/</a><br /></p><p>#financialplanning #finance #financialplannersearch #divorce #womenandmoney #lifetransitions</p>
