Mastering Money Conversations During Crisis, with Dana Garnett

Описание: In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Dana Garnett. What happens when a privileged life built on international corporate success suddenly implodes? Dana discovered the high cost of poor communication during conflict when she and her ex-husband burned through $270,000 in legal fees to get through their divorce. That was equivalent to the money they had saved for their daughters’ college educations. But Dana’s story doesn’t end there. As a former Coca-Cola executive turned mediator, she transformed her painful divorce experience into a mission to help others navigate life’s most challenging conversations with greater ease. Her story reveals powerful insights about how we can preserve not just our financial wealth, but our health and our relationships during times of crisis.
