Episode 60 - Money Matters with Melissa Murphy Pavone

Divorce is one of the most financially devastating and emotionally taxing life experiences one can experience.  Yet most people enter it wildly unprepared, relying on fear, misinformation, or advice from friends who “went through it" before. So the question becomes, is keeping the peace in divorce costing women more that just money?  Joining us in this episode is Melissa Murphy Pavone, CFP® and CDFA® who watched as her mom went through a painful divorce and has made it her life's mission to ensure that others are equipped with the knowledge to make sound financial decisions.   From her 20+ years of experience, she has started her own practice with Mindful Divorce Partners and has written a book called "Divorce by Design" which reframes divorce as a strategic life transition, not a failure — and shows how building the right professional team early can save time, money, and emotional damage. This is an episode worth tuning into!

Episode 58 - The Unmuted Room with Erin Snow

When we think of therapy, we picture this: a person sitting on a couch talking to a therapist sitting directly across from them; and often times that conversation is "filtered" for fear of being judged, disliked, or even shamed.   Joining us for this episode is Erin Snow, transformative listening strategist, who shares her journey from legal advocacy work to founding the Unmuted Room (formerly Seacoast Listening Lounge), a confidential and judgement-free space designed for individuals to be heard, particularly those who feel they have to be "the strong one" in their lives.  Discover how her work helps her clients feel heard, set boundaries, and find relief outside traditional therapy.

Joining us to talk about the grief around people pleasing and her upcoming book called "Life Theft" out later in 2026 is Thanatologist and grief expert/educator, Karen Omand.
