Navigating Divorce – A Women & Wealth Podcast

Navigating divorce, while challenging, can open the door to a more aligned lifestyle, opportunities for unexpected growth, and newfound freedoms for all parties. But that doesn’t make it easy, particularly when you are in the middle of something that can be a giant disruption to your life and family.

Coldstream Wealth Managers Larissa Vidal and Meredith Stewart have many years of experience helping clients navigate the divorce process; in this podcast, they offer both some practical knowledge as well as insights they’ve gained from their experience. This discussion is a gentle introduction into what to think about, what to expect, and how to find support and nourishment as you proceed. Our hope is that having this context can help relieve some of the emotional stress, financial pressure, and uncertainty that often come with the divorce territory.

Some topics Meredith and Larissa touch upon in this 35-minute discussion include:

• Considerations as you begin the divorce process
• Putting together a team of professionals
• The timing of the divorce process
• Myths—and realities—about divorce
• The difference between equitable division (Oregon) and community property (Washington)
• Unique solutions and strategies for divorcing couples
• What does divorce “success” look like?
