In this episode, Karen is joined by the "Freedom Team" — Keri Gwynne, CDC Certified Divorce Coach and CEO of Starting Point by Freedom, and Ryan Finley, CPA, CDFA, CVA, and founder of Freedom Financial Services Group. Together, they bring a uniquely holistic perspective to divorce: coaching, financial forensics, and mediation — all under one roof.

Both Keri and Ryan are survivors of high conflict divorce, and they share candidly how those lived experiences shaped their mission to help families navigate the process with clarity, compassion, and a child-centered lens.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• How Keri escaped an abusive marriage in the Nashville Bible Belt — and why shame kept her silent for so long
• What a CPA, CDFA, and CVA actually do — and why your attorney alone isn't enough to protect your financial future
• Forensic accounting explained: what it is, when you need it, and the red flags that signal hidden assets
• Real stories of hidden assets — from money funneled into a mother's account to overpaying the IRS by a million dollars!
• Why everything earned during a marriage is marital property — regardless of whose name is on the account
• The tension between faith and divorce: how Keri coaches clients through shame, scripture, and spiritual abuse
• How to talk to your church community about divorce — and why you're asking for support, not permission
• Keeping children at the center of financial decisions and co-parenting agreements
• The Marriage Mastermind — a new workshop by the Freedom Team designed to go upstream, helping couples build stronger marriages using what divorce professionals see break them apart
• The patterns that lead to divorce: financial secrecy, infidelity, pornography addiction, losing yourself in the relationship
• What it took for both Keri and Ryan to trust love again — and what they looked for the second time around
