In many marriages, women are not involved in the family finances and have no idea what is available in many different accounts. The prospect of divorce or leaving an unhappy marriage can fill them with dread and fear that this life transition may leave them without enough money to live on or they may lose what they worked to save. It is common to feel stressed about making the right financial decisions in the moment while wondering how to get from where you are to creating a secure life.
Join the Silver Divorce Podcast as Phil Weiss, founder of Apprise Wealth Management, discusses the E.V.O.K.E. financial life planning process, which walks women through a journey of self-discovery to plan for a more secure future while transitioning to a new single life. This holistic approach to financial planning helps women with the education and knowledge to feel confident and secure in their future.

The Holiday Season is a joyful and beautiful time of year. When you are separated, divorced, or in the process of divorce, it can be an extremely painful and emotional time. There are so many questions to answer. Where are the kids going for each holiday and when? How do we split the family? Can we agree on spending limits for the kids or grandkids? What about traditional friend parties? Will we both attend? Will the girlfriend or boyfriend be there? How do the in-laws or grandparents fit in?
Listen as Pat Owens, a Divorce Care facilitator with decades of experience, shares strategies for coping with conflict and the emotional roller coaster during the holidays.
The key is to plan, plan, plan and communicate. It is not too early to think through all of the questions so you can have a more memorable holiday focused on the spirituality of the season.

Substance abuse is cited as the main factor in nearly 35 percent of divorces. Older adults are using opioids, alcohol, marijuana, and heroin at increasing rates. So much so, that it is being called the silent epidemic. Listen as Debbie Loudermilk, the Director of Outpatient Services for the Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, discusses why this is happening at increasing rates and who is most at risk.
Drug abuse among older adults is often hard to detect because the signs and symptoms mimic those of old age. Substance abuse can have a significant negative effect on diabetes, heart failure, and raise one's risk for heart attack.
Debbie shares the signals that someone is abusing drugs or alcohol, as well as how to go about discussing it with a loved one, if you suspect substance abuse is happening.

Is it possible to create a life you will love as a single person after decades of marriage? While in the traumatic divorce legal process, it is hard to imagine the future. We often think we are too old to start over, we will never marry or find love again, and are doomed to a solitary, lonely life.
Join us as life coach Holly Holloway discusses a path forward to creating a new life after divorce. She shares strategies to stop the ruminating that keeps us firmly mired in the mud. Focusing on the future starts with allowing ourselves to feel our feelings and heal so we can begin to believe in ourselves and our capabilities.
Is abundance defined as a large house, luxury brand car and possessions? Perhaps freedom is abundance. Holly shares how she started her journey from receptionist to life coach that began after her divorce at age 61.

Lack of physical intimacy is cited as one of the top four factors in divorce. Oftentimes when one is coming out of a long term marriage where physical intimacy has been absent for a long time, many people make recapturing this a priority, perhaps before they have taken time to heal and know themselves.
Join me as Karisa Kaye, a certified sex therapist helps us to understand today's attitudes and norms concerning physical intimacy while dating.
In this episode, we'll discuss the dangers, especially for women, to casual sex. On the other hand, there are definite health benefits we'll talk about as well.
If you've jumped into the dating pool, how do you know when the time is right to be physically intimate? Having physical relations with someone new after being with the same partner for decades brings up its own set of anxieties and emotions.
The prevalence of the porn industry has shaped how men and women view physical intimacy. Karisa discusses this shift and how to handle situations where you might be asked to perform acts that make you uncomfortable.

Many people agonize over the decision to divorce because they reference the Bible, Malachi 2:16, which says, "For I hate divorce, says the Lord the God of Israel." They are compelled to stay in a marriage that is mentally and sometimes physically harmful for that reason. The first rule of scripture interpretation is context. Why did he say those words? Who ws he saying them to? What else did he say in that passage referencing divorce?
Join us as Betsy Kammerdiener, a pastor and ordained minister helps to unpack the meaning behind scripture. We'll also discuss why God doesn't seem to answer prayers to "fix my marriage."
In this episode, we discuss the church and divorce. Many churches seem to struggle with what to do about divorced couples. Why does it seem like the church keeps divorced people at arm's length?
Finally, if you are in the midst of divorce and struggling with your faith, Betsy has recommendations to help you mentally and spiritually.
