In this episode Susan Guthrie talks with Lili Vasileff, one of the Leading Divorce Financial Professionals in the Country and author of three books on the subject, about the reinvigorated topic of Grey Divorce, as highlighted by the recent spate of high profile billionaire divorces. The fact is, they can afford to get divorced, but for those of more modest means, Lili points out the many financial pitfalls, and strategies to avoid or minimize them, for those divorcing later in life!
The news has been full of reports about some high profile, ultra high net worth divorces in recent months, most recently that of Bill and Melinda Gates who have been married for 27 years. In fact, the later years or "grey divorce" is the most common age group getting divorced these days! According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, divorce rates were highest (about 43%) among both sexes, aged 55 to 64. This is more than just an interesting little tidbit of information if you are in this demographic and getting divorced as the finanancial ramifications of getting divorced when you are older can have serious and long-lasting effects and mistakes made during the divorce process can be catastrophic. As Lili and Susan say, "In divorce, there are no do-overs!" The key take-aways are: get professional help if you can, educate yourself and take charge of your own financial destiny. Lili is passionate about financial literacy and this episode will help you to see why - be sure to listen!

In this episode Susan Guthrie talks with Professional Organizer and Founder of Divorce Rx, Michelle Sarao, about how the truly transformative power of getting your life organized can transform the divorce experience for both you, and more importantly, for your kids!
Michelle Sarao has years of experience as an educator and a professional organizer, but her own divorce helped her to see how the process of organizing your life, from environment to logistics, can magically take the overwhelm of divorce and turn it into peace and order for both you and your children! We understand that it is all coming at you fast and furious during divorce, and Michelle realized that it can feel just like one more thing to do when we talk about getting organized, but she breaks it down, and is available to help, so you don't have to do it all alone or at one time.
This episode is chock full of tips, pointers and ideas for getting your act together during divorce, that I promise you have not thought of, so do it for your kids, and take a listen to this episode!
More information about This week's Special Guest, Michelle Sarao and Divorce Rx:
Michelle Sarao is the founder of Divorce Rx, a unique brand of professional organizing that focuses on the needs of divorcing and divorced families. She combines her professional background as an educator and organizer with her personal background as a child of divorce and divorced mother of 3 to help families organize their homes and lives when transitioning from one home to two. Michelle passionately believes that when children are in an environment that is organized and calm this translates into a feeling of predictability and safety at a time when they need it most. Her passion for her work stems from the desire to help parents show up for themselves and their children during divorce, in a way that makes them proud.
First and foremost, Michelle believes in the importance of meeting her clients where they are, listening to their pain points and finding out what is keeping them up at night. She then works with them to create solid action plans to move them forward in a gentle and consistent way.
There are several ways that Michelle works with families to ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible. Her signature program - The Divorce Toolkit is an 8 week virtual program focusing on 4 main categories every 2 weeks - the physical space, academics, health and social lives. She can also provide the 8 week program in 2 concentrated half days for those who are in a time-sensitive situation or just prefer everything upfront.
In addition, Michelle offers a Power Hour to target one main issue and provide actionable steps to take and listeners of The Divorce & Beyond Podcast can sign up for a 1/2 price Power Hour just by mentioning the show!

In this episode Susan Guthrie chats with Rachel Graham, whose new TEDx is focused on helpingyou to unlock your lockbox of secrets so that you can live a better life!
Not all secrets are bad, but so often they can make us sick - literally! When we are hiding things from those around us or even from ourselves, we can manifest that stress as anxiety, illness, depression and more which can lead to mental health issues, addiction and broken relationships. The devestating effect of what we keep locked away, often brings more misery to our lives, and Rachel Graham knows this all too well as the Founder of Healing Springs Ranch, an in-patient addiction and recovery center. Her experiences with patients as well as the cost of secrets in her own life, led her to create her popular TEDx talk focused on helping you to unlock your lockbox of secrets.
Some highlights from the episode:
- Why secrets often result in physical illness and mental health issues;
- The intersection of shame and secrets with divorce;
- How there can be many kinds of infidelity in relationships and how they all stem from secrets;
- Rachel's own secret that she reveals in her TEDx;
- How you can release those secrets from your own lockbox; and
MUCH MORE!
The average person has 13 secrets, 5 of which they have never told to anyone so if you are ready to start letting some of your secret's go, this is the episode for you!

Some highlights from the episode:
- Why they waited several years before getting married and how that helped their process;
- What impact age and personality differences between their kids had on their journey;
- How family meetings were instrumental in helping them work through the bumps along the way;
- The one practice that put a positive spin on their discussions; and
