Why does everything feel so confusing, even simple decisions when divorce enters the picture?

For many people, the uncertainty isn’t a lack of information, it’s the collision of emotional stress and financial pressure. This session is designed to help participants slow down, reduce overwhelm, and gain clarity before making major divorce decisions.

What You’ll Explore in This Session
Participants will learn why “financial fog” is a normal response during divorce, which early decisions carry long-term impact, and how understanding cash flow and asset trade-offs can prevent regret later. The session also introduces a clear decision-making framework to help individuals move out of “Should I?” and into informed, grounded next steps without escalating conflict, pressure, or cost.

Featured Speakers:
Terri Schneider, CDFA® – Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® &amp; Wealth Advisor

Terri specializes in helping individuals understand the financial impact of divorce decisions. She brings clarity to cash flow, asset division, and long-term financial planning so participants can better understand the real-life consequences of different divorce paths before decisions are made.

Ann Langston – Divorce Coach &amp; Mediator
Ann supports individuals through divorce coaching, mediation, parenting plans, and asset distribution planning, with particular attention to housing-related decisions. She will outline practical options for navigating divorce, including when mediation is appropriate, how to reduce conflict early, and what support is available during the preparation phase.

Session Takeaway
Participants will leave with greater clarity, reduced reactivity, and a clearer understanding of their options and helping them move forward with confidence, intention, and calm.
