419 - Encore: Financial Confidence Through Life Transitions with Leah Hadley

Welcome back to an encore episode of the No Labels, No Limits podcast, where we spotlight bold individuals who rise above limiting beliefs to lead empowered, purpose-driven lives. I’m your host, Sarah Boxx, and today we revisit a conversation with someone who has made it her mission to help women navigate one of life’s most difficult transitions—divorce—with clarity and financial confidence.

Leah Hadley is the Founder and CEO of Great Lakes Divorce Financial Solutions and Great Lakes Investment Management. A nationally recognized financial empowerment expert, Leah is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), mediator, and award-winning financial planner.

But Leah didn’t start in finance. With degrees in Education and Sociology, she began her career in the classroom before burnout led her to a temp job at an investment bank—an unexpected detour that set her on a new path.

Through her own life transitions—including becoming a parent of three overnight, navigating divorce, and building a business from scratch—Leah discovered how essential financial planning is to peace of mind. Today, she empowers women with compassionate, customized financial guidance before, during, and after divorce, helping them gain control, independence, and a fresh start.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Leah went from teacher to trusted financial advisor
• The most important step to building financial confidence
• What to look for in a financial professional—and when to reach out
• The first steps women should take during divorce to reduce financial stress
• How financial education can change life outcomes
