Aphrodite Angels
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of beauty, love, and sexuality. Some may remember this from their schooldays.
But here’s a little teaser for you: do you know who Aphrodite Angels are?
Don’t worry if you don’t recall hearing about the Angels from school. This is infact a service set up by Sarah Wadham to help people who need to deal with changes in their lives.
This may be due to divorce, redundancy or bereavement. For most of us, dealing with change and adjusting to different circumstances can be tricky. It’s always easier to stay in our comfort zone and keep with what we know, even if we know long term it’s not the best place to be.. But sometimes change is forced upon us and we have to step outside our comfort zone.
Or sometimes we realise that although stepping outside our comfort zone may feel uncomfortable there are times when we need to do it to move forward and get to where it is we wish to ultimately get to.
This is where Aphrodite Angels can help. The service providers are financial planners, lawyers, coaches, therapist, interior designers…and infact many, many more.
If you are going through change and want help from a professional who can guide you through the process, hold your hand if necessary, and celebrate with you when you reach the other end, then do look at the Aphrodite Angels website.
I am delighted to be included as one of Sarah’s Angels for ladies going through a divorce. I am also delighted that when my clients need any other services I can refer them to one of the other providers vetted by Sarah.
Sarah says “Although traumatic, difficult and emotionally draining, divorce and other life changes can lead to a new and empowering start and be a positive experience for everybody involved.”
To help you on this journey please do have a look at her website. The site lists sixty service providers who are all personal contacts of Sarah and have been chosen because they put you and your needs first.

Don’t let this happen to you: Protect your future wealth
One of the mistakes I often see during divorce is clients wanting to settle the financial situation without consulting a solicitor. They believe (incorrectly) that a solicitor will automatically want a long drawn out court case and that solicitor fees will rocket. Yes, of course if you instruct a solicitor your legal fees are going…
Women losing out on pensions on divorce
There were some rather shocking headlines last week regarding women losing out on pensions when they divorce. This was all sparked by an Age UK report. The report stated that is should be “the norm” for private pensions to be considered as part of the divorce process and, wherever possible, divided fairly between spouses. In…
How is the value of your pension share calculated?
During your divorce negotiations both you and your spouse will have obtained a valuation for each of your pensions. The date of this valuation must be within 12 months of the hearing date. Clients will often rely on this figure as the value of the pension that is to be shared. They apply the sharing…
