Disrupting Divorce: Conversations for Women


Mar 12, 2021

On this episode Rhonda introduces Nathan Astle, the founder of Relational Money LLC. Rhonda and Nathan talk about financial therapy, the goal of which is to change the way people think, feel, and behave with money. Through several examples and exercises, Nathan shares where and how financial therapy can make that change and increase the person’s wellbeing.

According to Nathan, money is emotional. If financial wellness is difficult for you in the process of a divorce there are reasons behind it, and it can be a lot of different things, like your family, or your relationship with your ex-partner. Here are some of his advices:

  1. As much as possible give yourself space and allow yourself room for growth and improvement. There are tools and baby steps you can take along the way.
  2. As you are learning more about different financial choices you have, learn to, as much as you can, acknowledge and to regulate your own emotions
  3. Try to be open and to see a couple of different types of therapists if the first one is not settling right for you.

She was in search of a better way. She used her knowledge, passion, and experience to build a leading-edge business model.

Since starting the Women’s Financial Wellness Center, after a 10+ year career in the financial industry, she has helped alleviate financial vulnerability for thousands of women.

In addition to being the CEO of The Women’s Financial Wellness Center, Rhonda is also a professional speaker. While her platform is women’s money wellness, it is not just about money.
