Feeling overwhelmed by the financial aspect of divorce? First, you’re not alone and second, this episode is for you!

Meet Rhonda Noordyk, a passionate financial advocate dedicated to helping women navigate the challenges of divorce with confidence and clarity.

Rhonda has worked with so many women who feel like they’ve lost confidence with money after a divorce. She reminds us to give ourselves some grace because it’s a process. You don’t have to have it all figured out right away, and that’s okay.

We also talk about some of the biggest mistakes people make when figuring out their divorce settlement, like rushing into decisions without fully understanding them. Rhonda’s advice? “We have one opportunity to get it right,” and you don’t have to make decisions without all the facts.

If you find it challenging to speak up around your needs, one of Rhonda’s best tips is a simple but powerful way to negotiate called ANOT—

• Acknowledge
• Naturally
• Obviously
• Ask

This episode is all about helping you feel more confident in your finances during divorce, giving you the tools to make smart choices, and taking control of your financial future—without additional stress.
