Align Your Retirement

Align Your Retirement is the retirement podcast for women in their 40s and 50s who've done a lot right with their money — and know retirement is too important to wing.If you're the CFO of your household — whether you're married, single, divorced, or widowed — you already know the voices:"I'll run the real numbers after Q4.""My 401(k) is fine — I check it.""I'll handle Social Security timing when I'm closer.""The inherited IRA can sit in cash until I figure out the 10-year rule."Every one of those voices is quietly moving your retirement date. Each episode is a direct, specific conversation about one retirement decision that costs more than it needs to when you carry it alone — Social Security timing, Roth conversion windows, sequence-of-returns risk, tax-efficient drawdowns, pension elections, asset location, the inherited IRA, healthcare before Medicare.The decisions. The tradeoffs. The numbers. From a fiduciary who runs these with clients every week.Hosted by Hazel Secco, CFP®, CDFA®, founder of Align Financial Solutions — a fee-only, fiduciary firm built for women in their 40s and 50s.
