94: Arusyak Abrahamyan in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with family law attorney Arusyak Abrahamyan to talk about the conversations most couples avoid—money, prenups, and what actually destroys marriages.We get into the reality of financial conflict in relationships, why emotional attachment to money leads to bad decisions, and how a lack of communication can quietly build toward divorce. Arusyak breaks down why prenups aren’t about planning for failure—they’re about protection, clarity, and responsibility.We also talk about how culture, upbringing, and personal identity shape how people view money, and why couples need to get honest about expectations before they build a life together.If you’re in a relationship, building a business, or planning a future with someone… this is the conversation you should probably be having but aren’t.I’m a California family law attorney and litigator with over a decade of courtroom experience in high-conflict and high-asset cases. I’ve represented entrepreneurs, professionals, and financially sophisticated individuals through complex divorces, business valuations, custody battles, and asset disputes.Years in the courtroom changed how I see marriage.I’ve witnessed how financial silence, unclear expectations, and unmanaged conflict can quietly erode even strong relationships. That experience shaped my passion for prenuptial strategy — not from a place of fear, but from a place of clarity, protection, and empowerment.I believe a well-designed prenup is not about planning for divorce. It’s about maturity. It’s about transparency. It’s about protecting love from avoidable financial chaos.On podcasts, I bring:-Real stories from the courtroom (without compromising confidentiality)-Insight into how smart, successful people unintentionally create risk-Strategic guidance for entrepreneurs and high earners entering marriage-A nuanced perspective on women, wealth, and power in relationships-Practical advice on how to have difficult financial conversations with graceBeyond law, I am also the founder of a wellness and longevity brand (Ivy En Rose, Eternia). Building businesses while raising my daughter has deepened my understanding of partnership dynamics, asset protection, and what it means to build something worth protecting.Podcast TopicsWhy prenups are an act of love, not pessimismProtecting business owners before marriageFinancial compatibility and relationship longevityThe psychology of divorce litigationWomen, ambition, and financial independence in marriageHow high-conflict divorces actually unfoldDesigning agreements that prevent future courtroom battlesI speak with warmth, precision, and honesty.
