The journey to financial wellness after loss isn't just another task on your to-do list—it's part of your healing path. In our heartfelt podcast conversation, I connect with Paula Harris, co-owner of WH Cornerstone Investments, who understands the overwhelming wave of financial decisions that crash down when you're already drowning in grief.
Paula shares from both her heart and expertise how, when the world feels shattered, money matters can feel like the last straw. Yet gently rebuilding your financial foundation becomes an unexpected anchor during these stormy times.
I remember feeling completely lost when facing my own financial decisions after loss. Like many of us, I thought "financial discussions" meant complex spreadsheets and intimidating investment jargon. Paula compassionately reminds us that true financial wellness begins with simple, daily choices that honor both our emotional reality and practical needs.
