"Am I going to be okay?"

When it comes to divorce and money, that's the question underneath all the others. In this episode of Divorce Discussions, Angie sits down with Karise Gaynor-Morgan, an attorney turned wealth advisor with Bernstein Private Wealth Management in Minneapolis, to talk about how to find financial clarity and confidence no matter what stage of divorce you're in.

Karise is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Exit Planning Advisor who came to this work through her own divorce, where she was the financially disadvantaged spouse. She knows firsthand how overwhelming the money piece can feel, and she's here to remind you that you can do hard things.

In this conversation, you'll learn when to bring a financial advisor into the picture (hint: earlier than you think), the questions to ask before you ever sign on with one, why finding the right advisor is a lot like dating, how to advocate for what's rightfully yours when emotions and scare tactics get in the way, and the post-divorce financial steps so many people forget, from updating beneficiaries to rebuilding your estate plan.

Whether you're contemplating, in the thick of it, or years past your decree, this episode will help you take that first bite of the elephant.

You've been lying awake running the same question on loop: should I stay, or should I go? In this very first episode of Divorce Discussions, we sit down with Chip Neuenschwander, a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Wayzata Counseling in Minnesota, to talk about discernment counseling, a short-term, structured process designed specifically for couples where one partner is leaning toward divorce and the other wants to save the marriage.

Chip explains how discernment counseling is completely different from traditional couples therapy, what the three paths forward look like, and why getting clarity before making a permanent decision matters so much. He also shares practical tips for navigating the emotional weight of this season, including why being gracious with yourself on the hard days is not optional, it's essential.

Whether you're in that contemplation stage or already moving through the process, this conversation will help you understand your options and feel a little less alone.
