"Divorce Well & thrive"
Conversation with CSF Client Liz Goll Lerner
With Liz Goll Lerner and Alex Seleznev, MBA, CFP®, CFA | Dec 10, 2025
Think divorce has to be a disaster? Think again.
I recently had a fascinating conversation with life coach, psychotherapist, author and Capital Squared Financial (CSF) client Liz Goll Lerner.
Liz, who famously threw a divorce party with her soon-to-be ex, shares her unconventional, strategic approach to separation.
We talked about how to navigate the complexities of divorce, especially the emotional money conversations, with resilience and optimism.
As we kept talking, I quickly realized that much of what Liz shares applies to many professional and life situations outside of divorce…
In this video, Liz and I discuss:
- Why you should do your financial homework long before the conversation begins
- The essential strategy for operating without emotional reactivity (i.e. “Don't Take the Bait!”)
- How to envision a positive life after divorce
- What Liz means by the subtitle of her book: "Your Guide to Being Your Best Self Under the Worst Circumstances”
