Divorce, Identity, and Financial Clarity After 50 With Mardi Winder (Ep. 90)

Divorce, Identity, and Financial Clarity After 50 With Mardi Winder (Ep. 90)

Divorce later in life is not just a legal event; it is an emotional and financial turning point that reshapes identity, confidence, and long-term planning.

In this episode, I sit down with Mardi Winder, a strategic divorce consultant and founder of Positive Communication Systems, to discuss what really happens before, during, and after a gray divorce. 

We explore why so many women feel stuck in fear, how financial uncertainty can drive costly decisions, and why clarity must come before action. I also share how retirement planning and divorce strategy need to work together so women can move forward with confidence, not confusion.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why high-conflict divorces often create a loss of identity after the process ends
  • How fear around money keeps women stuck or leads to poor settlement decisions
  • Where strategic divorce coaching fits alongside legal and financial professionals
  • Why financial clarity should come before hiring attorneys
  • How early guidance can prevent costly mistakes in the first months of divorce
  • And more!
