Episode 291: Finding Your Financial Voice with Amy Bradbury (Women’s Financial Empowerment)

The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast

In the final episode of September’s Women’s Financial Empowerment series, we're equipping you with the tools to make confident financial decisions and find your financial voice—divorce or no divorce. Financial guru Amy Bradbury, CEO of Empowered Profit, joins us to unravel toxic money mindsets handed down by the patriarchy and shares how to shift into an empowered, intentional approach to your finances. From demystifying financial literacy to bringing your kids into money conversations, this episode is all about taking back control.

Amy delivers game-changing advice on how to ditch restrictive budgets in favor of a spending plan that works for you, especially when dealing with life’s unpredictabilities—like divorce or fluctuating support payments. She also reveals why no app will fix your finances and why gathering financial data is the key to making empowered choices.

This episode is packed with actionable insights that will motivate you to take control of your finances and make informed decisions for your future.

Featured topics:

• Reframing your money mindset and shifting to empowered financial thinking (6:14)

• How to create a spending plan when there are income fluctuations with things like divorce or support payments (28:10)
• Amy’s thoughts and advice on using tools for managing your money (hint: the answer isn’t found in an app!) (39:15)
