Nikki Tucker is back, and we’re tackling some of the most infuriating, and increasingly common, financial issues women are facing in divorce today. Nikki and I are arming you with strategies to fight back during divorce negotiations with facts and numbers.

In this episode, we talk about how fear can make you want to just give in, and why that urge to "just be done" could cost you so much more than you realize. Nikki’s advice? Run the numbers. Know the math behind the “yes” and the “no.” Plus, we touch on something a lot of us don’t want to think about, but need to: the unstable and uncertain economy. Nikki offers practical steps you can take now to protect yourself financially.

This episode is packed with straightforward insights and empowering advice to help you make confident money decisions today that will shape your future.

Here’s what else we get into, in this episode:

How to push back on unreasonable settlement offers by fighting fear with facts (5:58)
What the unstable economy means for your post-divorce financial decisions (20:30)
Crypto in divorce: when it’s worth fighting over and when it’s just a shiny distraction (28:49)
