Episode breakdown
Welcome to the Retirement Repair Shop with Mary Beth Franklin. On this episode of the podcast, Mary Beth speaks with Kathleen Rehl, the author of Moving Forward on Your Own: A Financial Guidebook for Widows, to examine how advisers should work with widows. Because the facts are clear: 70% of widows who worked with an adviser before their spouse's death will fire that adviser because that adviser didn't understand their grief and their widowhood journey.
