    What I Stand For
    It's my intention to help divorcing women know how to use their financial settlement to create financial well-being and a more rewarding life. I am passionate about this because I believe that financial services has historically been male focused and has marginalised so many women by focusing on growth and products. This means they often feel vulnerable and unprepared at a time when they have to make some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I feel it is vital that we level the playing field for women and ensure they have as equal access to expertise as their ex, and that financial services speaks to them in a way that is equally inspiring and motivational. I am on a mission to empower women to become financial capable and to realise that money self-care is the ultimate self-care. They can make their money work for them and achieve peace of mind and a financial plan for a post-divorce life they will love.

    Have you ever wondered what a barrister does in their working week when they’re not in a meeting with you? In this episode, Tamsin is joined by leading family barrister Rhys Taylor to find out more about what his work involves.

    With his depth of knowledge in courtroom advocacy and client advising, Rhys joins us on the Smart Divorce Podcast to unravel the complexities of family law. His candid insights from the dual perspectives of a barrister and part-time judge illuminate the behind-the-scenes of legal strategy, from the preparation of pivotal written notes for FDR hearings to the subtle art of steering clients toward amicable resolutions.

    This episode isn't just about the inner workings of the legal system; it's a masterclass in the human element of law. You'll hear firsthand how a barrister like Rhys balances the roles of advocate, advisor, and sometimes, peacemaker. The detailed anecdotes shared provide a window into the emotionally charged world of divorce cases, where barristers do much more than argue points of law—they foster understanding and cooperation in the face of discord. Our discussion with Rhys also sheds light on how the direct public access scheme empowers individuals by allowing them to seek advice straight from the experts.

    We wrap up with practical wisdom you can apply should you ever face the challenges of divorce litigation. Whether it's the strategic importance of managing client expectations or the nuanced dance of compromise and persuasion, Rhys Taylor's expertise is a lighthouse for those navigating these difficult waters. Tune in to gain invaluable insights from a barrister who not only represents his clients but also shapes the legal landscape, ensuring that every voice in a family law dispute is heard and validated.
