Divorce is not something most people plan for, yet for many it becomes one of the most financially disruptive moments of their lives.

In this episode, we sit down with Becky Sampson to talk honestly about what really happens to people financially during divorce and why so many walk away with far less than they should. Not because the law is unfair, but because most people do not know their rights or where the leverage actually is.Becky shares her own story, growing up in an entrepreneurial family, navigating two very different marriages, and ultimately going through a three and a half year divorce battle that included 21 hearings and 21 subpoenas. For much of it, she represented herself and went head to head with multiple attorneys. What she learned along the way completely changed the direction of her life.We talk about why divorce is especially dangerous financially for people who were not involved in the money during the marriage, how even good attorneys can miss critical details, and why education and self-advocacy matter more than most people realize. Becky also breaks down a statistic that stops people cold, nearly half of women end up in financial poverty after divorce, and explains why that keeps happening.This conversation is not about bashing marriage or encouraging divorce. It is about understanding reality, protecting yourself, and knowing how to advocate for what is fair when emotions are high and information is missing.Becky also shares how her experience led her to build resources that help people uncover financial truth during divorce, including improving how subpoenas are done and helping people access information that is often overlooked or ignored.If you are in the middle of a divorce, thinking about one, or trying to recover financially after one, this episode is worth your time.Resources mentioned in this episode:Only Subpoenashttps://onlysubpoenas.com/You can also connect with Becky directly to learn more about her coaching, advocacy work, and free consultations.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the “expert” money advice out there? In this episode of the Money Maverick Podcast, we cut through the noise with mindset coach Tony Child to talk about the real reason people stay stuck financially, professionally, and personally.

Tony shares how most of our behaviors are running on autopilot (often from beliefs we inherited), and why trying to “fix money” without addressing the subconscious is like cutting the top off the roast… without knowing why you’re doing it.

You’ll hear:

• Why most people wake up exhausted and “live for bedtime”

• The hidden cost of pleasing everyone and living behind a mask

• The difference between incremental progress and quantum leaps

• How childhood programming shapes your financial identity

• The most common money beliefs that quietly repel wealth

• A practical “Maverick Tip” you can use immediately to start breaking the pattern

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still can’t break through—this conversation will help you reclaim clarity, confidence, and control.

In this episode, Tim Turley and Kyle J. Christensen discuss the difference between financial freedom and retirement. They highlight the importance of semantics and the meaning of words when it comes to money. They also question the validity of the $1.45 million retirement goal that is often mentioned in financial planning articles. The conversation emphasizes the need for financial freedom, which is defined as having income from assets that is sufficient to maintain or exceed one's chosen lifestyle. They discuss the importance of investing in one's own business and real estate, as well as the value of education and mentorship.

Takeaways

The traditional approach to retirement planning has been a failure, with the majority of retirees not achieving financial freedom.

Financial freedom should be the goal, not retirement. It is defined as having income from assets that can maintain or exceed one's chosen lifestyle.

Investing in real assets, such as business and real estate, is key to achieving financial freedom.

Financial education and continuous learning are essential for making wise investment decisions.

Saving money in liquid, guaranteed, and accessible accounts is important for seizing investment opportunities.
