Episode 078: Surviving Entrepreneurship Through Divorce

In this episode, Beth sits down to talk with Rhonda about navigating business and entrepreneurship while contemplating or going through divorce.  She had a lot of great advice for our listeners, but a few items that she mentioned are: Just take that step! Build your team (and surround yourself with them) Rely on your intention Have a plan Prepare to BE INSPIRED! Contact Information and Other Resources Our guests today was Beth Crowell, owner and founder of The Hippie Banker. Here is a bit about Beth, in her own words: "I have been through a divorce -- and have been able to remain friends with my ex-husband. It was a very healthy divorce and am so grateful for that. After coming out of my own divorce, it has always broken my heart hearing my friends (and sometimes acquaintances) share with me their unhappiness in their own marriages, but feeling stuck and unable to make a change. In fact, when I first left my job to become a life coach, I had intended to focus on helping women through divorce, but divine guidance led me down another path! However, being involved with the WFWC allows me to bring it back in, to which I am very grateful. Business ownership is a way that women can gain control over their finances, and feel empowered to take control over their destinies. Being reliant on a spouse's income can be a very strong hook that exacerbates the fear associated with leaving a marriage. With my background as a commercial lender, consultant for the Small Business Development Center at UW-Eau Claire, instructor for the Women's Business Center at Western Dairyland, and my deep spiritual base, I can help guide women through not only the technical aspects of starting a business, but also through the fears and limiting beliefs that often hold us back from pursuing what we know deep down inside is right for us.   Website | Facebook | LinkedIn Email Rob: [email protected]  ____________________ Our host of Divorce Conversations for Women Podcast is Rhonda Noordyk, CFEI Rhonda Noordyk's relentless pursuit of financial justice for women going through divorce drove her to leave the financial industry in 2014 to open The Women's Financial Wellness Center.
