Will I Be Okay? The Financial Side of Divorce with Karise Gaynor-Morgan

"Am I going to be okay?" When it comes to divorce and money, that's the question underneath all the others. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie sits down with Karise Gaynor-Morgan, an attorney turned wealth advisor with Bernstein Private Wealth Management in Minneapolis, to talk about how to find financial clarity and confidence no matter what stage of divorce you're in. Karise is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Exit Planning Advisor who came to this work through her own divorce, where she was the financially disadvantaged spouse. She knows firsthand how overwhelming the money piece can feel, and she's here to remind you that you can do hard things. In this conversation, you'll learn when to bring a financial advisor into the picture (hint: earlier than you think), the questions to ask before you ever sign on with one, why finding the right advisor is a lot like dating, how to advocate for what's rightfully yours when emotions and scare tactics get in the way, and the post-divorce financial steps so many people forget, from updating beneficiaries to rebuilding your estate plan. Whether you're contemplating, in the thick of it, or years past your decree, this episode will help you take that first bite of the elephant.
