In this episode, Mardi Winder chats with Myra Salzer, the founder of The Wealth Conservancy, about what really happens when you suddenly come into a bit—or a lot—of money, whether it's from a divorce or an inheritance. Myra Salzer shares her own story of switching careers to financial planning, and how she ended up specializing in helping people who find themselves with unexpected wealth and all the questions that brings.
The conversation opens up about how easy it is to make quick decisions when money first arrives—like splurging on things you never thought you’d buy—and how that can sometimes lead to regrets later on. Myra Salzer breaks down the different stages people often go through, starting from not quite believing what’s happened, to slowly learning how to manage their money, and eventually feeling confident and in control.
They discuss common worries, like wondering how much is safe to spend, sorting out taxes, and most importantly, figuring out who you can trust to guide you. Both Mardi Winder and Myra Salzer highlight how building a good financial team is about more than just numbers; it’s about supporting your values and making sure your money helps you live the life you want.
If the topic hits home for you, you’ll be glad to hear Myra Salzer offers a free consultation and a short coaching program to help you get started. It’s a practical and reassuring look at the ups and downs of managing a windfall and making smart choices for the future.
