Notable Quotes

- And when they realize that it doesn't matter that it has your husband's name on it, that it's still considered a marital asset. It's like a, it's like a light bulb is being turned on because they just have been so conditioned to believe that because it's in, not in their name and they stayed home to take care of their children, they're not entitled to it. So that little bit of confidence when you get that financial knowledge, it's like a little seed, right? And it starts to grow, Catherine Shanahan
- Women, we're all just so hard on ourselves. It's incredible. So some of our early conversations are just remember to give yourself a lot of grace like every day. Just give yourself a ton of grace. This is hard. This is not easy, Karen Chellew
