MIDLIFE DIVORCE: MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
Separation in midlife is something many women don’t see coming… until they’re in it.
Julie knows that feeling all too well.
After going through a difficult divorce, Julie found herself navigating not only the emotional side of separation but also the financial decisions that come with it, at a time when everything already feels overwhelming. Even with a background in accounting, it wasn’t as straightforward as she expected.
How many midlife women find themselves in that position, trying to process what’s happening, while also being expected to make clear, confident decisions that will impact the rest of their lives?
In this episode, Julie shares her experience of midlife divorce, what she learnt through that time, and how it ultimately led her to her 2nd Act, supporting women through the financial side of separation, helping them feel more informed, more confident, and less alone when making important decisions.
In this episode:
- Trying to make financial decisions while you’re emotionally overwhelmed
- Why even women who are “good with money” can struggle during separation
- The pressure to hold everything together when inside you feel anything but
- Why having the right support around you can change everything
- The shift that starts to happen when you begin to find your footing again
- What life can look like on the other side of separation
