How to Gain Financial Independence After Divorce

Getting your finances in order can be a daunting task, especially after a separation or divorce. In this episode, you'll hear some advice about how to gain financial independence from a financial planner passionate about helping women in transition.

Guest Info:
Rachael Burns is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst based in Folsom, California. She is the founder of True Worth Financial Planning, which helps newly single women achieve financial independence after the divorce or death of their partner.

Rachael spent 12 years in ‘traditional’ wealth management before a series of life events re-shaped her career path. Shortly before the birth of her twins, her husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain cancer. With two babies on the way and her husband undergoing cancer treatment, the uncertainty was overwhelming. Planning for her family’s future was next to impossible, but she felt fortunate that her professional expertise allowed her to quickly adapt their financial plan.

Through her own personal experiences navigating grief and finances, she found her calling — to support and empower other women during the most challenging transitions of their lives. In 2020 mid-lockdown, she left the corporate wealth management world and launched her own fee-only firm, True Worth Financial Planning.
