The Rewrite...A Podcast about Divorce, Choice & New Beginnings

There’s something powerful that happens when we stop silencing ourselves… and start telling the truth. On this episode, I’m spotlighting Erin Snow, founder of The Unmuted Room—a space dedicated to helping women reconnect with their voice, their truth, and their inner knowing. Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you’ve always been… underneath the noise. If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or disconnected from your own voice—this is your invitation to lean in.Your voice mattersYour story mattersYou matter Follow Erin and step into your own Unmuted Room.Website: www.theunmutedroom.comEmail: erin@theunmutedroom.comIG: @the.unmutedroom

Money can feel overwhelming after divorce or a major life transition—but it can also be one of the most powerful tools for creating the life you want next. On this episode of The Rewrite, I’m joined by Phil Weiss, founder of Apprise Wealth Management. Phil has spent decades helping people navigate personal finance and investing, with a special focus on supporting women facing new beginnings. We talk about what “enough” really means, why so many women feel stuck when making financial decisions after divorce, and how shifting from fear to self-trust around money can completely change the way you design your future. This conversation is about more than finances—it’s about choice, confidence, and realizing that you get to decide what your next chapter looks like.Follow Phil:www.apprisewealth.com/rewrite@phweiss11

My guest is Ron Platt, CEO and Co-Founder of the National Association for Single and Divorced Families — an organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for single and divorced households across the country. Ron is also the creator of Support Insured, the first divorce insurance product designed to protect families by guaranteeing child support and alimony payments if the payor dies, becomes disabled, loses their job involuntarily, or declares bankruptcy. It’s a powerful safety net for families navigating the uncertainty that often comes with divorce. But Ron’s work isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal. From fostering a young LGBTQ+ teen who became his son, to surviving a painful 14-year relationship that ended before marriage equality made divorce possible, to rebuilding his life during the Great Recession — Ron’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and advocacy. In this episode, we talk about:Surviving and thriving after divorceProtecting children’s financial futureReforming systems that fail familiesAnd how personal pain can become powerful purpose   This is a conversation about rewriting your life — and helping others do the same. Follow Ron:https://www.nasdf.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NASDF.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nasdforg/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NASDForgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronald-platt-a6b49016/
