What do you do when you can see the path that would help someone, and they still won't take it?
Moraya and Nick sat down with Cary Carbonaro, CFP, she has spent more than 25 years helping women have a different experience with financial services. She's the author of Women in Wealth: A Playbook to Empower Clients and Unlock Their Fortune and The Money Queen's Guide, and the managing advisor and Women in Wealth Ambassador at Ashton Thomas Private Wealth. Partway through our conversation, she turns the tables and asks us about a client whose risky decisions are keeping her up at night, while the client sleeps just fine. If you are a financial advisor or if you are navigating through your relationships with money and identity shifts (especially menopause) this conversation is for you.
In this episode:
- Why roughly 80% of women leave their advisor after divorce or widowhood, and what that means as women gain control of more wealth
- Cary's mantra, ”compel, don't sell,” and why she gets curious about the person before the portfolio
- When a financial planner needs a financial therapist, and when someone needs a licensed mental health professional
- Overspenders, underspenders, and the client who died with $10 million and only went out to McDonald's once a month
- Why spending in retirement can feel harder than saving ever did
- Identity shifts in retirement, gray divorce, and the impact of menopause on financial decisions
- In our debrief: professional boundaries, how hard to work for someone who isn't moving, and what well-being actually costs
