In this episode of I Date Money®, Lisa Drennon sits down with Marnie Battista, a Midlife Reinvention Specialist, podcast host, and author of Your Radical Living Challenge: 7 Questions for Leading a Meaningful Life. Together, they dive into what it really takes to build financial independence after divorce, release the scarcity mindset, and realign with a life of purpose—without blowing up the life you've already worked so hard to build.

From navigating money blocks and investing with intention to letting go of what no longer fits, Marnie shares powerful stories and practical wisdom that will help you ask the right questions to lead a radically aligned life—on your terms. If you’re a divorced mompreneur craving more meaning, more money, and more you in your business... this conversation is your sign.

  • How to shed scarcity and step into strategic money moves
  • The power of asking the right questions to rewrite your next chapter
  • Why six-figure women still carry guilt around money
  • Burnout, business pivots, and building what feels good again
