Welcome to Her Wealth: Unscripted, the podcast from Sorelle Wealth Partners, where we believe financial decisions are most powerful when they are made with intention and grounded in what matters most to you. In this episode, hosts Susan Jones and Sara Gelsheimer tackle a critical topic: how to pick the right financial advisor.

Choosing an advisor is about more than just checking a box; it’s about finding a partner for your long-term financial journey. Many people spend more time researching a new refrigerator than the professional who will guide their financial future. Susan and Sara break down the technical "table stakes" and the emotional connections you should look for to ensure your advisor is truly in your corner.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The Fiduciary Standard: Why you must ask if an advisor is a fiduciary 100% of the time, and the difference between the "best interest" and "suitability" standards.
• Fee Transparency: Understanding the difference between Fee-Only, Fee-Based, and Commission-Based compensation to avoid hidden conflicts of interest.
• Decoding Credentials: What titles like CFP® (Certified Financial Planner), CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), and CDFA® (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst) actually mean for your specific needs.
• The Value of Holistic Planning: Why true financial guidance involves a deep dive into taxes, estate planning, and asset titling, rather than just managing a portfolio.
• The "No Stupid Questions" Rule: Why your advisor should be able to explain complex strategies in plain English without relying on confusing jargon.
• Red Flags to Watch For: Why you should "run, not walk" away from anyone guaranteeing market returns or pressuring you into quick decisions.

Her Wealth: Unscripted is dedicated to helping women feel empowered and intentional in their lives. Because it’s more than numbers; it’s the life they make possible.
