    What If Divorce Decisions Were Based on Math, Not Fear?

    In this episode of The Conscious Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Connie Howard, founder of What If Wealth, to talk about how real financial modeling helps people make confident decisions during divorce and major life transitions. We explore why “even” settlements aren’t always equal, the true cost of keeping the family home, how inflation quietly erodes spousal support, and why cash flow matters just as much as net worth.
