What do you actually need to sort out financially before you separate and when should you start?

This week on Get Rich, Molly sits down with mortgage broker, Stella Finance Group founder, and Ladies Finance Club ambassador Lisa Bridgett to break down everything Australian women need to know about getting their finances in order before, during, and after a separation. No jargon, no judgment, just clear, practical advice from someone who has not only helped countless women through this process, but has lived it herself.

Whether you've been putting off getting your finances sorted because you don't know where to start, you're not sure what you're actually entitled to, or you're worried about what life looks like on the other side, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why speaking to a mortgage broker before a lawyer could save you thousands
• What actually happens to the family home in a separation and whether you can really afford to keep it
• Why so many women leave superannuation on the table and why you absolutely shouldn't
• How interest rate rises affect your borrowing capacity as a single income household
• What a binding financial agreement is and why more couples should be having this conversation
• The financial red flags to watch for when things start to turn ugly
• Why having your own emergency fund in your own name is non-negotiable
• How to build your separation support team, from mortgage brokers to family lawyers to forensic accountants
• The one thing Lisa wishes more women knew before they signed anything

Perfect for: Australian women who are considering separation, going through one, or simply want to be financially prepared for whatever life throws at them. And if this isn't you right now, share it with a girlfriend who needs to hear it.

The biggest takeaway from this episode? Knowledge is power. The sooner you know your numbers, the more confidently you can fight for what you deserve. 🎧
