Real Talk with Life After Grief Chris

"Helping those in grief (and the advisors who support them) navigate financial matters."In 2008, at the peak of the recession, I lost my mother to cancer in August and my father to a broken heart in November. In 2010, my grandmother passed away after a stroke. Then a heart wrenching experience in 2012 of losing my oldest child.I became a financial planner in 2003 during the process of helping my parents in their declining health. In 2011, three years after my parents passed, I became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ to better help families in need. In 2021, I became a Certified Financial Transitionist® to complete my personal and professional experience with formal education and scientific theory. My personal experiences and knowledge of grief and loss of loved ones helps me to understand and assist families enduring similar situations. I’ve helped over 400 families navigate many financial issues and life circumstances such as grieving loss of loved ones.

In this week's episode, I share some listener feedback. I was simply wowed at the folks who reached out to me to share their trauma experiences. I was equally amazed how certain therapies, including EMDR really helped them.

Some of the listeners I spoke to talked about the gravity of their trauma such as: abuse, molestation, death, addiction, racial trauma and many other forms of trauma. I took solace in the fact that my experience and willingness to share about my trauma normalized experience for others.

As this is a financial podcast, I would like to bring the aspect of finance full circle. A certification I obtained (Certified Financial Transitionist®-CeFT®) a few years ago has really allowed me to hone my personal and professional experience for that of my clients. In case you are not familiar with CeFT®. A Certified Financial Transitionist® is trained to help clients through major life events and the financial transitions that accompany them. Basically, I am trained to incorporate the emotional side of money with the technical side and guide clients accordingly. Often times emotions conflict with very literal functions of money.

Hope you enjoy the episode.

Cheers and be well!
