217. Recovering Financially After Divorce (What We WISH We Knew Before Getting Married) with Kristin Sweeting Mar 03, 2025 • 1 hr 3 min • Ep 217 • Transcript available on Metacast Episode description Divorce can be one of the most emotionally and financially challenging experiences of a person’s life. And yet––so many of us walk into marriage without truly understanding the financial implications of merging (and potentially untangling) our lives. In this episode, I sit down with photographer, entrepreneur, and coach Kristin Sweeting, who openly shares her story of getting divorced at 29, the financial mistakes she made, and how she rebuilt her wealth from the ground up. We’re talking about everything from the hidden costs of divorce to why prenups should be a standard practice—and the crucial financial steps every person should take before (and during) marriage. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with financial lessons.
