I was honored to be a guest on the latest episode of The Rewrite podcast with Wendy Lowy Sloane.

During our conversation, we talked about many of the emotions women experience during divorce, the uncertainty that can come with major financial decisions, and how overwhelming this transition can feel when so much is changing at once.
