Facing the Numbers: Laying the Groundwork for Financial Independence

Divorce can be terrifying, especially when you're the lesser-monied spouse facing financial uncertainty. If you’re worried about how you’ll support yourself or fear making the wrong financial decisions, you’re not alone. The anxiety of losing your lifestyle or not knowing where to begin is real. Financial security may feel like an uphill battle, but understanding where you stand today is the first step toward a future where you feel safe and in control.

Join Karen McMahon, co-founder of Journey Beyond Divorce and host of this podcast, as she discusses how to gather critical financial information—even when it feels impossible. We’ll talk about surrounding yourself with the right experts and recognizing who truly has your best interests at heart. Karen will share insights on what realistic financial independence post-divorce looks like and how small, everyday cash leaks can quietly undermine your stability.

If you’ve ever avoided budgeting, felt uncertain about investments, or wondered how your income will support your new life, this conversation is for you. Building your financial safety net isn’t just about numbers; it’s about reclaiming your confidence.

Let’s take this journey together—one step, one decision, and one plan at a time.
