Welcome back to Talk with Tara. In this episode, I dive into money after divorce and how to rebuild wealth in midlife with financial pro Katy Song, CFP and MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Katy brings over 17 years of experience helping women and families take control of their financial futures with confidence.

We talk about creating a shame-free money plan, building an emergency fund in a high-yield savings account, the truth about Roth IRA vs traditional 401k, how ETFs like the S&P 500 and QQQ fit into long-term investing, and how to budget without deprivation. We also get real about overspending, housing decisions after divorce, negotiating during mediation, and breaking free from fear or scarcity mindsets around money.

If you’re navigating divorce, separation, or any midlife transition, this conversation will give you practical steps to rebuild your finances, protect your credit, and grow wealth so you can live with more freedom and less stress.
