In this episode Susan Guthrie speaks with leading financial expert, Christina Lynn to hear her step by step instructions for digging yourself out of the financial hole that you may find yourself in after a divorce.
Divorce can be finanancially ruinous for many people considering the high cost of legal professionals, the expense of dividing into two households and splitting all of the assets AND LIABILITIES. When the dust settles, most people are exhausted and financially much worse off than when they started. The climb to get back on top of your finances can seem like Mount Everest but financial expert, Christina Lynn, CFP, AFC, CDFA (look at all those certifications!) is here with real, actionable steps for you to take to help you get back on top! Christina herself was a stay at home mother who received an "allowance" from her husband when she got divorced. That divorce, and the difficult road to financial freedom that she found herself on after, inspired her to become a financial professional and she is now on her way to a PhD in Personal Finance on top of all her other accredidations. She knows what you need to know and she gives you some easy steps you can take today to become financially empowered! What are you waiting for? Listen today!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families.

Their wisdom, candor, and humor will give courage to other children, and encourage parents to make better choices as they move through divorce.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Beth Behrendt, a divorced mother to three boys who has successfully followed a nesting custody arrangment with her ex for six years about how the arrangement has helped to make her restructured family stronger than ever!
When parents are facing separation and/or divorce, they often assume that establishing two separate households that their children will move between is a pre-ordained conclusion. But what if that isn't the case? What if your children's lives could continue almost without change, and the parents could be the ones to make the move? That is "birdnesting" and for guest, Beth Behrendt and her family, the arrangment has been the key to their success as a new type of family following the divorce six years ago! Amazingly, Beth's three boys have never left their family home as Beth and her ex have moved in and out of the home to parent them. Along the way, Beth has discovered that there are several upsides beyond the lack of disruption to her children's lives that come from the nesting arrangment that make it even more appealing. She shares all of these upsides, and some of the downsides to be aware of, in this eye-opening episode!
More about this week's Special Guest: Beth Behrendt is a freelance writer and mom to three boys and has been nesting with her ex for almost six years. Since the couple first separated, their sons have never left the family home -- Bill and Beth take turns moving in and out to parent them. Nesting has made them a stronger, happier family than ever before.

Her own journey, and over two years of swiping until she found her boyfriend, also showed her how many others needed help doing the same thing so Style My Profile was born!

On this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with one of the most influential attorneys in Chicago, Beth McCormack, who specializes in complex family law cases including some that have involved estates in the billions! Find out what one of the top divorce attorneys in the country can teach you about your divorce in this special episode of the podcast!
She's called the "Velvet Hammer" for a reason. When you first meet Attorney Beth McCormack, her friendly smile and soft voice might lead you to believe that she is a pushover, but spend a couple of minutes with her and you will soon realize you are speaking to someone with a razor sharp wit and incisive intelligence. These characteristics, combined with empathy and compassion (two of Beth's hallmarks) have made Beth one of Chicago's leading divorce attorneys and has led many high net worth individuals, and more than one billionaire, to put their case in her hands! With that type of experience, there isn't much that Beth hasn't seen and handled and she is sharing that insider view and experience with you. Take a listen to this episode, and find out what a billion dollar divorce attorney can teach you - without the billion dollar price tag!
More about this week's Special Guest: Beth McCormack focuses on highly complex family law matters with vast experience in complex litigation, as well as mediation and collaborative law. Beth also represents children, when appointed by the court, which makes her unparalleled in her ability to navigate complex parenting issues. Beth appreciates the sensitivity surrounding high net-worth, high-profile, and child-related matters, with each requiring a very different skill set.
Ms. McCormack’s practice is founded oncompassion and empathy. She sees it as her responsibility to be aware of each person’s needs, seeking the most appropriate solution for each client.
Ms. McCormack’s vast family law experience enables her to handle and settle complex and sophisticated issues many families face. She is an unwavering advocate for the best interests of children, and easily navigates families through the highly emotional nature of any divorce.
As one of the most influential attorneys in Chicago, Ms. McCormack has naturally become a mentor to many professionals in the legal community. Her peers consistently nominate her as a Best Lawyer, Super Lawyer, and Leading Lawyer. Most recently, Beth was named top 50 women Super Lawyers. Her work ethic and community involvement have earned her accolades within the legal community, and beyond.
Ms. McCormack has a monthly column in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, where she educates other lawyers on best practices and writes for many other publications as well.
In addition to all the above, Beth is one of Susan's favorite people in Chicago and an incredibly wonderful human being who she is honored to call "friend!"

On this episode Susan Guthrie, Esq. speaks with Coach, Podcast Host and the Author of "Soar," Pamela Savino, on a topic perfectly timed for the tough times that can occur in divorce and on a broader scope, are occuring in the world at large as COVID, societal unrest and financial difficulties create stress and strain in our lives every day. Pam's decision to move through the tough times in her divorce by stepping into her own authentic life will inspire you and help you as you face your own challenging times!
A few years back, Pam Savino and her husband decided to divorce. As she shares in her wonderful book, Soar, there was nothing "bad" happening, but the relationship was not working for either of them. The news left friends and family shocked as they were that picture postcard perfect family who "had it all" but they knew that it was the right choice for them. That is not to say that the divorce was not full of tough times, there were plenty, and Pam shares several stories that may sound very familiar to you such as telling the kids, dealing with the 'til death do us part issue and keeping the divorce a secret from everyone until the time was right. Pam's lessons on leaving behind the life that society and other people tell you is right, and stepping into your own authentic self, perhaps for the very first time, is the true path through the hard times ahead to a a happier and more fulfilled life!
Some highlights from this episode:
- Find out how Pam, and not her attorney, "drove the bus" in the divorce process and how Pam found the strength to make those "big decisions." (7:35)
- What does "living authentially" mean for Pam and why does she think it is the key to getting through those tough moments in divorce and in life? (9:17)
- Where does the shift from inauthentic to authentic living happen? (11:50)
- Why does Pam say that in the challenging moments that is when we find our greatness? (15:45)
- Why were the first 15 seconds of telling the kids about the divorce the most important? (20:20)
