Join us in this episode as we talk to Carlene who found herself unexpectedly thrust into a journey of self-discovery after 22 years of marriage.  Carlene's story begins in the heart of traditional family dynamics, as she embraced the role of a devoted stay-at-home mother while her husband pursued a career-driven path.  The stability of her world was shattered when she was blindsided by divorce, leaving her to navigate the complexities of separation and the power imbalances inherent in their relationship.

Carlene candidly shares her reflections, invaluable insights, and what she wished she had involved herself in at the start of the relationship when it came to their finances.  From representing herself in mediation and self-navigating co-parenting, Carlene is transparent about her vulnerability and the courage to redefine her path. 

Tune in as we unravel Carlene's story of personal transformation and discover the strength that lies within the journey of self-reinvention.
