Reduce Your Stress.
Navigate Confidently.
Rebuild Your Future.
If divorce is on the horizon, you need someone who understands the finances — and has lived it. Based in Mississippi, serving clients nationwide virtually.
From retirement to divorce, there are rarely do overs in life's major transitions. We use our planning expertise coupled with personal experience to help clients navigate major life changes with clarity.

Meet Kristi Tidwell,
CFP®, CDFA®, TPCP®
"Our goal is to allow you to focus on yourself, your family and your future, while we provide the tools and expertise needed to help make informed financial decisions."
Before founding New Path Planning, I spent over a decade as the director of financial planning for boutique wealth management firms, creating strategic financial plans for clients navigating life's complexities. But my understanding of women's financial transitions goes beyond professional experience. I've lived through divorce, raised children, embraced the empty nest years, and now I'm approaching retirement myself—experiencing firsthand the questions and decisions my clients face.
These are deeply personal turning points that require both expertise and empathy.

I don't know what I would have done without Kristi's expertise. Even though I am fairly adept with financial matters, there were issues that I wouldn't have thought about except for Kristi mentioning them. I'm so thankful for her!

It was refreshing just to talk to someone who had been through their own divorce and understood the stress, emotions, and the process itself. On top of that Kristi was able to explain the details of the financial decisions that had to be made and helped translate what the attorneys were saying.
