In our last episode, Hilary pulled back the curtain on tools many investors are taught to fear—like leverage, short selling, and active trading—and how, when used wisely, they can produce tax alpha: higher net returns that come from smart tax planning, not investment performance alone.If you left part one wondering, “Doesn’t this mean lots of trading and market timing? And hasn’t Hilary always said market timing underperforms index funds?”—this episode is for you.Because while active trading does often deserve its bad reputation, the “active” in tax-aware long-short is different; it isn’t about chasing headlines, jumping in and out of the market, or guessing what comes next.It’s a systematic, rules-based process designed to create a small excess return and generate consistent tax benefits—without changing your long-term investment plan.In this episode, Hilary explains what “active” really means in this context, breaks down how the tax-aware long-short strategy works from the ground up, and shows why, in many

What if the financial tools you’ve been taught to fear—like leverage, short selling, and active trading—aren’t inherently dangerous?What if the real risk isn’t the tool itself, but how it’s applied and who is using it? The truth is these tactics can create unnecessary risk if misused. But when they’re applied for a specific, evidence-based purpose–like generating consistent tax advantages–they can actually become powerful tools in a savvy investor’s toolkit.In this episode of Love, your Money® (the first in a two-part series!) Hilary pulls back the curtain on a misunderstood strategy in modern wealth management: market-neutral leverage–and how it functions within a tax-aware long-short strategy.You’ll learn:The difference between “long” and “short” overlays, and why it mattersHow leverage shows up in peoples’ financial lives–and what makes it high-risk vs low-riskHow long-short overlays can reduce tax drag without adding market risk How advanced strategies with a “bad reputation” can actually protect and grow

What happens when the life you dreamed of finally arrives… but it doesn’t feel good? On paper, Michelle Gauthier had the life she would’ve put on a vision board when she was young: a thriving 20-year corporate career (with a strong salary, to boot), a husband, two kids she had longed for, and the house to match. Yet underneath the surface, she was anxious, overwhelmed, and in pain. In one bold season of life, she made the terrifying choice to divorce, quit her job, and start over—earning just $12,000 her first year as a life coach.In this conversation, Michelle shares her journey away from overwhelm, and what it took for her to build a new career. We dive into the fears and financial realities of walking away from “golden handcuffs,” and the mindset shifts that allowed Michelle to trust herself–and her ability to make money. Along the way, Michelle reveals the hidden costs of people pleasing—both emotional and financial—and introduces her powerful “Love & Fit Test”, a simple-yet-effective decision-making

Welcome back to Ask Hilary, where we tackle real-life money questions from women navigating change. Because if there’s one constant in our financial lives, it’s change. We grow. We move. We change careers, enter new relationships, end others, care for family, and—somewhere in the middle of all that—we try to build a financial life that actually supports the life we want. But those transitions don’t come with a playbook. And they often raise hard, vulnerable questions like:What if I’m just getting started with saving and feel hopelessly behind?What happens when the money dynamics in my relationship start to feel… off?How do I care for someone I love without compromising my own securityToday, we’re exploring what happens when life shifts—and your financial plan needs to catch up. Whether you're entering your 30s, becoming the breadwinner, or wrestling with family responsibilities, this episode will help you make empowered, values-aligned decisions with your money.Remember: It’s never too late to make thing

It’s time to take off your judgy pants, Money Lover, because today we’re sitting down with Jean Chatzky, CEO and co-founder of HerMoney, to talk about the real-world challenges women face when it comes to building wealth—and we’re doing it without shame, guilt, or financial jargon.Jean’s decades of experience as a financial journalist taught her two critical truths: A) The jargon-filled speak of the financial industry was created largely by men to sell you stuff you don’t need, and B) When you strip that confusion away, money isn’t rocket science.What a breath of fresh air.With candor, warmth, and wisdom, Jean shares how she’s navigated everything from raising a medically fragile child to leading a 20,000+ member financial community for women. Together, we talk about what’s really holding women back from financial freedom, and how to break through it–whether you’re rebuilding after divorce, raising kids while building a business or career, or planning for solo aging.This episode is packed with real talk, prac

Welcome to the first Ask Hilary episode, where we dive into real-world questions about money and mindset from listeners like you! Today, we’re leaning into the conversation we started last week with Jeff Willmore about living true to your calling. We’re going to talk about what happens when you hit your financial goals, but something still feels… off. These questions center around calling, career pivots, and permission to want more than just security. They are the kinds of conversations that move us from autopilot to intention, to help you make wealth-building choices that actually reflect who you are and what matters to you.If you’re craving clarity, ease, or meaning in your money life, this one’s for you.Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s episode of Love, your Money:02:07 What if I’ve built financial stability—but don’t feel fulfilled?09:26 Can I pivot careers without starting over financially?16:09 Is it lazy to want more space and ease in my business?Show NotesTo get access to the full show notes, in

If you’ve ever felt like the business you built is running you—or that your professional success doesn’t quite match the personal fulfillment you imagined—you’re not alone. In this episode, Hilary sits down with Jeff Willmore, founder of The Autonomy Course, to explore how ambitious business owners and professionals can align their work with their deeper calling. Jeff’s journey started with a business he built alongside his brother fresh out of college, and evolved into a life-changing exploration of purpose-centered entrepreneurship. Together, Hilary and Jeff discuss what happens when your company’s mission reflects what you do instead of why you do it, and how it’s never too late to change the path you’re on if it isn’t taking you where you want to go. They dig into callings, regrets, money stories, and the power of language to help you reconnect with purpose and joy in both business and life–something that we hope this conversation unlocks for you.

Heading off to college is a milestone event for students and parents, but navigating the admissions process and financing a degree is not a simple undertaking. Post-secondary education is one of the largest investments people make in life, and today’s guest on Love, your Money® is here to explain how getting a little help through the process can lead to better outcomes.Heidi King is part of the team at College Inside Track, an organization that helps families navigate the college process, find the right fit, and get the best price at the schools they’re considering. Heidi is no stranger to the college process, as she recently went through it herself with her two sons. She is considered a national subject matter expert on college planning, and provides valuable advice to thousands of families.

Over the past few episodes of Love, your Money®, we’ve taken you deep into the weeds of capital gains tax, alternative investments, and Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠ (UTEWM℠).If you’ve been following along, you’ve heard terms like step-up in basis, long-short overlay, market-neutral strategy, and incremental returns. And if your eyes glazed over once or twice, you’re not alone.But here’s the thing: these aren't just technical financial strategies. They’re tools. Tools that—when used correctly—give you more freedom, protect your peace of mind, and empower you to make the most of the wealth you’ve worked so hard to build.Today’s episode zooms out from the technical to the transformational: we’re talking about what UTEWM℠ actually makes possible in your real life—not just on paper. You’ll learn why traditional financial planning around tax avoidance often falls short, and what makes this approach different. Hilary explains how to reduce your tax bill without being forced to sell at the wrong time,

Today we’re diving into the world of alternative investments (a.k.a. alts)–opportunities that are often marketed with the promise of high returns and diversification, but frequently come with hidden risks and complexities.​ In this episode, Hilary shares the professional insights and experiences she’s gleaned about alts in her 25+ years as a fee-only fiduciary financial advisor with deep expertise in public markets. From high fees and lack of transparency to liquidity issues and potential for fraud, she breaks down why these investments may not be the golden ticket they're often marketed as–and explains how Hendershott Wealth Management® designs client portfolios instead. Tune in to learn: Why alts are so appealing to high net worth investors, Some of the biggest risks and pitfalls of alternative investments, How to make informed decisions about your investment strategy, and Why we believe a well-diversified, low-cost portfolio is the best–and most evidence-based–path to financial security. Bottom line:

 In this episode, we’re continuing our conversation about Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠—a new-to-market investment strategy designed to help high net worth investors defer capital gains taxes while keeping their portfolios liquid and growth-oriented. If you haven’t listened to Episode 280 yet, go back and do that because it lays the foundation for everything we’re covering today, including how Robert and I discovered this strategy, vetted it thoroughly, and ultimately decided to offer it to our clients at Hendershott Wealth Management. Today, we’re diving deeper into UTEWM℠ to talk about: How this strategy compares to other common tax-deferral methods (and why others fall short) What makes Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠ uniquely effective, flexible, and IRS-compliant The technical underpinnings of the investment strategy, including the application of a long-short market-neutral overlay How UTEWM℠ can be applied to retirement distribution planning to potentially save millions in taxes over a l

Tax deferral is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to investors. Why? Because it allows you to reinvest money that would have gone to the IRS, compounding returns on that money and significantly increasing your long-term wealth.In this episode, I’m joined by Robert Hendershott (HWM’s Chief Investment Officer and my husband!) to talk about Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠—a suite of services that uses cutting-edge strategy designed to minimize taxes on your capital gains without sacrificing returns or adding unnecessary risk–and why he came out of retirement to help us implement this strategy with our high net worth clients. Ultra Tax Efficient Wealth Management℠ creates its benefits through realizing investment losses while deferring gains using a long-short overlay composed of individual stocks, which allows tax savings that can continue to compound for as long as the gains are deferred. And over a lifetime, that can be huge.We can’t overestimate how powerful this new-to-market we

In this episode of Love, Your Money®, we’re tackling a hot topic: capital gains tax. While many investors assume paying high taxes is inevitable, there are smart, legal strategies that can significantly reduce—or even eliminate—what you owe.Some people avoid taxes by never selling their investments, but that means never enjoying the wealth they’ve built. Others chase tax-advantaged, underperforming assets that often do more harm than good.In just under 30 minutes, we’re breaking down five effective strategies that help minimize capital gains taxes while keeping your portfolio growing—without sacrificing liquidity or returns. From foundational tools like tax loss harvesting to advanced strategies like tax-aware investing with Separately Managed Accounts, this episode offers practical, proven tactics for high-net-worth investors.You’ll learn when and how to use each strategy, the pros and cons of each, and why some popular options (like Opportunity Zones and oil & gas investments) often fail to deliver last
