FALL 2026 Financial Wellness Workshops
The Belle of It All
Breaking down the real money lessons hidden inside Strangers: A Love Story
This workshop uses Belle Burden's bestselling divorce memoir (soon a Netflix film with Gwyneth Paltrow) — and The New Yorker's revelation that she actually had $63 million in assets when she married — as a jumping-off point for real talk about money, marriage, and financial mistakes women make at every wealth level. No need to have read the book.
Key themes:
• The $63 million question: what court documents revealed, and why it matters for how we read her story
• The prenup she rewrote for love — and what that decision cost her after 20 years of marriage
• Why a Harvard degree and law degree didn’t protect her from disengaging from her own finances
• Titling, trusts, and joint ownership: what she got wrong putting his name on assets she paid for
• The gap between feeling broke and being broke — financial anxiety vs. financial reality
