Episode 55: His, Hers & Ours - Navigating Money in Midlife Relationships

Welcome to Men, Menopause & Miracles, the podcast where midlife women come to embrace change, reclaim their voice, and create a next chapter they genuinely love.

I'm Suzanne, your host and Your Midlife Wingwoman, helping women rebuild self-trust, reconnect with who they are, and navigate midlife with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

And today's conversation is for every woman who's ever wondered, "What do I want my life to look like now?" We're talking about money, relationships, remarriage, and the importance of building a life that's aligned with your values.

Because in midlife, financial planning isn't just about protecting your future. It's about creating the freedom to live it on your own terms.

This is Episode 55: His, Hers & Ours - Navigating Money in Midlife Relationships.

My guest today is Leah Hadley. Leah is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Accredited Financial Counselor, and founder of Intentional Wealth Partners and Intentional Divorce Solutions.

She recently released her book ‘Intentional Money’ in March of this year and she facilitates a membership program called The Empowered Sisterhood, which is on a mission to break down the barriers we have around talking about money and improving financial literacy.

Leah’s approach with finances starts not with budgets but with values. She asks questions like “Who are you now? What actually matters?” The questions we’re continually or start to ask in midlife.

Whether you’re navigating a remarriage and trying to decide what combining finances should look like this time around. Or as a midlife women, you’re including how do I protect myself financially while building something new with a partner.

I hope today’s with Leah helped reframed financial planning from something restrictive into something deeply empowering. Instead of asking, "What should I do with my money?" she encourages us to ask, "What kind of life am I trying to create?" That's a very different conversation, and one I think every midlife woman deserves to have.

And if someone you know is looking to be more intentional and asking themself, “who I am now?”, “what matters to me and what’s next?” as well as “how money can support me?” - share this episode with them. Sometimes getting a little more educated on such topics is the motivation to create an aligned life.
