🌿After Divorce: My Story of Money, Mindset and Moving Forward

June 4, 2025

I recently had the honor of being a guest on Danielle Mauger’s podcast, “Living the Midlife Dream,” and what a fun and powerful conversation it was!

Danielle creates an amazing space where women can embrace midlife as a time of growth and possibility. Her podcast reframes the narrative around aging, offering inspiration, empowerment, and practical wisdom — reminding us all that midlife isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity.

During our conversation, I talked about my divorce — a time that turned my world upside down. As a newly single mom with a young daughter, I found myself emotionally and financially broken. But that chapter forced me to confront my relationship with finances head-on.

I had to pull up my big girl pants, get focused, and start rebuilding my life, one tiny step at a time.

It was hard and humbling, but it was also transformational. It taught me that money isn't just math — it's mindset. It’s about understanding your worth and owning your financial future.

If you — or someone you care about — are in a season where you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure about your financial footing, I invite you to listen to the episode.

Whether it’s due to a painful divorce, navigating a career change, juggling the demands of caregiving, or quietly carrying the weight of financial stress — please know that you are not alone.

And you are not behind. You are never too old and it's never too late to take control of your life — and your money — one small step at a time.

I hope you have an opportunity to listen and enjoy it as much as I did!

Happy Wednesday! 🌿
