Divorce can be a turbulent journey fraught with emotional and financial challenges. Trying to navigate the financial maze of splitting assets, dealing with taxes, cash flow, and retirement implications can be incredibly overwhelming.

Jennifer’s experience is not just about survival, but also about transformation. She used her personal trials to shape her professional triumphs, becoming a CDFA and using her experiences to guide women through the financial intricacies of divorce. She unraveled the importance of having a CDFA on your team during a divorce and how it could be a game-changer.
