Reclaiming Control: How Financial Awareness Can Empower You During Divorce

If you’ve felt out of the loop when it comes to finances in your marriage, you’re not alone — and you’re not powerless.
Divorce often brings financial decisions into the spotlight, and for many women, it’s the first time they’ve had to face the numbers head-on. That can feel scary. But here’s the truth: getting financially informed is one of the most empowering things you can do.

Understanding what you own, what you owe, and what your household really costs — these are not just numbers. They are the building blocks of your post-divorce security. When one spouse holds all the financial information, it creates an imbalance that can lead to a one-sided settlement. You deserve better.

Getting informed doesn’t mean going it alone. It means asking the right questions, requesting documentation, and working with someone who can help you connect the dots — someone who knows how to translate complicated financial concepts into clear, confident decisions.

I’ve helped women who didn’t know where to begin — no account access, no budget, no clarity. And together, step by step, we created a path forward. You can, too.

Whether you’re just beginning the divorce process or already in the thick of it, financial clarity is your best defense — and your greatest advantage. When you understand the facts, you negotiate from strength, not fear.

You don’t have to be a financial expert. You just have to start. And I’m here to help you do that.
