The Traditional Wife (Trad Wife) Movement and How to Protect Yourself Financially

In this episode, we are speaking with Erika Anne Englund who was born, raised, and educated in Northern California. One of eight children, she learned to advocate and negotiate early. Erika was educated in psychology and political science at UC Davis before getting her law degree at McGeorge School of Law, entering the Bar in 2005 as a family law attorney. She obtained certification as a professional mediator in 2009; in 2010, Erika closed her litigation practice to become one of the few California attorneys practicing exclusively divorce mediation. Since then, Erika has successfully mediated hundreds of divorces, engaging in over 15,000 hours of mediation matters with a 98% success rate. Erika also gathered teaching experience, as a professor at McGeorge School of Law, a provider of continuing education for attorneys and financial planners, and a guest-lecturer at McGeorge, King Hall at UC Davis, William Jessup, and Stanford Business School. Highlights of her public speaking career include two-time keynote speaking at the Sacramento Women's Exposition, panel speaker at McGeorge's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion event, and ongoing participation in local DivorceCare support groups. Erika's career in strategy (and love affair) began with legaltech consulting in 2018. In 2019, she took a break from mediation to work full time as Chief of Strategy for a divorce legaltech company, which tripled in value, diversified revenue streams, and won placement in two prestigious residencies under Erika's leadership. Now, Erika has turned back to her true passion, creating and sharing a divorce mediation system that is friendly, affordable, and efficient. This time, Erika brings her background in strategy and consulting, adding to her practice the unique component of divorce planning and coordination. Working with Erika provides the opportunity for guidance derived from a background that is both wide and deep.
