    The Real Cost of Divorce: What No One Prepares You For

    Divorce is expensive… but not always in the way you think. There’s a cost most women aren’t prepared for when they begin this process—and it’s rarely discussed in those first meetings, when decisions are being made fast and emotions are running high. In this episode, I share a perspective that often surprises mamas navigating divorce—and quietly changes the way they move through it. We touch on: - A hidden factor that drives divorce costs up (and how to interrupt it) - Why legal support alone isn’t enough - What it really means to take a proactive role in your divorce - The difference between reacting and leading during this season This isn’t about doing divorce “perfectly.”It’s about understanding what’s actually at stake—and choosing to move through it with clarity, support, and self-trust. Because your divorce may cost money…but it doesn’t have to cost you yourself. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.
