“Navigating Divorce and Protecting Your Business as a Female Entrepreneur” - with Katherine Miller, Esq
If you’re navigating divorce while running a business, this episode explores how to protect what you’ve built while making grounded, informed decisions during an emotionally overwhelming time.
In this conversation, I’m joined by divorce attorney, author, and podcast host Katherine Miller, who shares what female entrepreneurs need to understand before and during the divorce process. Katherine breaks down the different pathways to divorce, including mediation, collaborative divorce, litigation, and DIY, and explains why choosing how you divorce can shape the entire experience.
We talk about what it means to divorce with dignity, why emotions should not be ignored in the legal process, and how values can help guide decisions when fear, anger, or resentment start to take over.
Katherine also explains how a business may be viewed as a marital asset, why business valuations matter, and the financial blind spots female entrepreneurs should be aware of early on.
This episode is about helping women approach divorce with more clarity, support, and self-trust, especially when their business, family, and future all feel deeply connected.
