“You can be somebody who moves the needle in a way that's rewarding for you.” -Sybil Ackerman Munson
Being wealthy comes with the privilege of giving back to the community. But what if we don’t have that foundation yet? After their divorce, Sybil Ackerman Munson had to learn how to get back on her feet and manage her finances. How did she turn a seemingly moment of crisis into a glorious opportunity? Tune in as she shares her secrets to building herself to a point of being able to help others too.

A person who has a generous heart, like you, is blessed. Giving is contagious. Keep giving!

“Optimism plays a big role in being financially resilient. Every step forward where you make a good choice is more emboldening and empowering and helps you gain confidence.” -Barbara Best
Financial conflicts belong to the top five reasons for divorce. Sadly this conflict stays even until post-divorce. It’s not that women are incapable of handling money matters, but because they’ve been left out of the money conversation for so long.
In this episode, Andrea and Capstrat Women Forum Founder Barbara Best, talk about how women can own their choices and develop a healthy money mindset. It’s true that having conversations about money can be quite challenging. But there is a way to normalize these discussions. Learn how to remove the emotional charge in the money conversation, why you should start these conversations way before marriage, how to respond to “financial infidelity”, and what benefits come from working with a financial expert post-divorce. Step into your money power. Be the boss of your financial assets!

“Notice what you notice because what you notice is what you create.” -Victoria Rader
Did you know? Merely 7% of our mind is accountable for our conscious thoughts. The remaining 93% are feelings based on where we focus that 7%. So, if you have ever asked yourself, “What were you thinking?!", that's where it’s coming from. This week, we will hack into this amazing phenomenon and leverage it to manifest the impossibles with Yu2Shine Founder, Victoria Rader. As a Possibility Coach, Victoria teaches how you can Master the 4 Levels of awareness and how it can help you heal, reclaim your freedom, love yourself more completely, and break the cycle of subconscious thought patterns. The beauty of life comes from never completely understanding yourself because you are constantly growing and developing. But if you still feel unworthy, a lesson from Michaelangelo's "David" will change your mind. Tune in!

“The greatest thing we can do is forgive all the mistakes of the past, including the ones we made ourselves, and forgive ourselves for being divorced. Because what our kids need from us is the most stable, healthy, and thriving parent that they can model their life after.” -Tammy Daughtry
The main idea behind co-parenting is to create a stable environment as active participants in a child’s life despite an unsuccessful marriage. This is especially hard when you have to cooperate with someone you would rather forget. There are decisions to be made, differing opinions about child-rearing, interaction at hand offs, and all the drama and emotional turmoil that come with it. But it’s always good to keep in mind that even when a marriage ends, parents never stop being parents. As the Founder of Coparenting International, Tammy Daughtry shares wisdom, tips, and tools for better co-parenting. You can still give your children a family where they can feel safe, loved, and be happy. The key is to focus on what you can do yourself and trust that your co-parent loves your children as much as you do. Learn the importance of taking control over your happiness, choosing to forgive, and showing up as the best version of you to your children’s development. The weight of divorce is beyond any child can ever carry, but you can help lessen that burden by giving their one heart two homes that cherish them. When they grow up, they’ll remember how you were as a parent and as a co-parent.

Guilt is something that you have to learn to separate and redefine. When we feel bad about letting other people down, it makes us feel like we're doing something wrong. However, you don't have to feel guilty for choosing yourself. You're supposed to be choosing yourself." -Christine Carr

In this episode, she shares how to redefine guilt and rebuild yourself.

Divorce will make significant changes to your life, and those changes can be positive. Say Yes! to possibilities. Manifest your vision.

"People have an insatiable need to connect. And if they're not getting it from their family and their friends, they only have two options: They either make new friends or date to get the connection. And dating as a means of connecting is probably not healthy. People come and go. Whereas, if you're focusing and investing your time in fostering brand new friendships, they can be there for a lifetime." -Daniel Herrold
