About this episode
You can talk about love, kids, and sex, but the second money comes up, things get awkward. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with Jackie Combs , Matrimonial & Family Law Partner at Blank Rome LLP . Jackie has seen firsthand what happens when women avoid talking about finances until it's too late. She’s advised clients ranging from celebrities to founders, many of whom didn’t realize what they were financially entitled to or what they'd already sacrificed. We discuss why prenups aren’t just for the rich, how financial red flags can appear earlier than you think, and why it’s never too soon to start these conversations. Whether you're just dating or have been married for ten years, you'll want to hear this.
