With the holidays fast approaching, you may feel more tempted to turn to alcohol as a stress reliever as you navigate through your divorce.

WHAT FINANCIAL ABUSE IS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT EP 109 HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach GUEST: Rhonda Noordyk, Founder and CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness CenterSUMMARY: Financial abuse can take various forms, including restricting access to money, withholding financial information, or coercing the victim into making financial decisions. Recognizing financial abuse before and during divorce can be challenging, as it often operates covertly. However, there are warnings that can help you recognize financial abuse in your relationship and the divorce process. If you suspect financial abuse, it's crucial to seek support from a qualified professional who can help you navigate the legal system to protect your financial interests and ensure a fair settlement. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Rhonda Noordyk, Founder and CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness Center. Together, they discuss financial abuse, what it is, how to recognize it, and what you can do about it. Divorce doesn't have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Am I going to be okay? Yes, certainly! But you must define what “fine” means to you; don't just take it from your attorney or others.You can use ABUSE as an acronym to help you recognize financial abuse. A-Alienate you from finances, B-Beliefs marital money is theirs only, U-uses the legal system to control you, S-Seems like the victim, E-Evades financial accuracy and transparency. Divorce happens in three parts simultaneously: legal, financial, and emotional, and you need a core divorce team, coach, CDFA, and legal representative to help create the best results for you.Whatever stage you are in your divorce process, don't allow anyone to coerce you into making financial decisions that will sell you short. Invest in what you need to protect your financial interests and ensure a fair settlement. NOTABLE QUOTES:The first biggest challenge women face is confidence around money and finances because of a lack of knowledge and experience in managing finances; financial knowledge and confidence ultimately lead to confidence. (Rhonda) You need a core divorce team consisting of a coach, CDFA, and legal representative, and these three don't compete with each other. They complement each other and come together to create the best results for you. (Beverly) The second greatest financial challenge for women is understanding the financial aspect as it relates to the divorce process, what questions to ask, how to gather and organize information, how to access information, how to analyze it, and how to negotiate. (Rhonda) When you have a team of people working on your behalf, the process is better, and the people are better. (Rhonda) If you are thinking about divorce, don't sell yourself short on investing in what you need to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible for you: be open to making sure you have the right team...

“There's actually things that women can be doing behind the scenes before they actually even file,” explains Rhonda Noordyk, founder and CEO of the Women's Financial Wellness Center and certified divorce financial analyst. Navigating divorce can be a tricky process, so it is critical to start preparing beforehand. Rhonda recommends starting to prepare at least six months in advance so that you can be more proactive versus reactive. Today, Rhonda shares her top financial tips for helping women navigate a divorce.Before even filing, it is important to gather information and get really clear on all the finances and assets. If you have not been the one handling the finances for you and your spouse, there is the possibility that you will be blindsided by something. By going through the IRS, you can get a transcript of all prior tax returns, which can be very helpful if you were not involved in filing. Rhonda recommends getting on top of budgeting early and shares several useful apps that are available to help you get started. In addition to getting a clear look at your finances, it is a good idea to also work on your confidence and negotiation skills. Statistics show that a woman's lifestyle decreases 41% after a divorce, but that does not have to be what happens to you as long as you prepare as much as you can in advance. Start asking more questions about money and trust your intuition if something seems off. This way you can go into your divorce with enough knowledge to feel confident and prepared for negotiating terms. Quotes“I wanted to create a model where women could come into a space that was safe, and they could ask questions and be empowered and navigate through life's biggest challenges.” (3:30-3:40 | Rhonda)“There's actually things that women can be doing behind the scenes before they actually even file.” (8:31-8:36 | Rhonda)“The divorce process in and of itself is very reactive, and not as proactive.” (9:20-9:27 | Rhonda)“Budgeting is not sexy or glamorous, and nobody really likes to do it. But it's important.” (12:56-13:01 | Rhonda)“Make sure that you have an awareness of what's going on so that if something does happen, you at least know where to be looking for the information that you need.” (16:20-16:31 | Rhonda)“The formula for financial confidence is really knowledge plus experience that helps women navigate through life decisions. We can always find the answers, we can always ask questions, it just might not be easy or simple or fast, but it certainly is possible.” (17:51-18:12 | Rhonda)“Stats show us that women's lifestyle typically goes down 41% after the divorce is over.” (24:17-24:23 | Rhonda)LinksConnect with Welcome to ElomaInstagram: @welcometoelomaWebsite: WelcometoEloma.comWeekly Email Newsletter: bit.ly/RIXEmail Connect with Rhonda Noordyk:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhondanoordyk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhondanoordyk/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhondanoordykWebsite: www.wfwcdivorce.com

They tackle some tough questions, but you'll leave feeling empowered and encouraged.

Her company, Heartfelt Mamas helps mompreneurs go from surviving to thriving in life, business and faith.   Her story; her words:    For 15 years, I was an Athletic Trainer with a Master's Degree in Sports Medicine where I helped athletes prevent and overcome injury and burnout. After having children, I found myself burnt-out from a demanding job and travel schedule. I took a leap of faith, quit my job and became a stay at home.    After 4 months of being a stay at home mom, I was depressed, resentful of my kids and hated my life. I had become reactive to my circumstances and realized I didn't know who I was or what I wanted out of life. I knew God had more for me, so I dug into my faith and decided to no longer be a victim to my circumstances.I started my company, Heartfelt Mamas, as a self-care gift box company to encourage moms to take care of themselves but after 3 years, I realized the real issue was in their mindset and their subconscious beliefs. From my previous professional background, I knew I had a gift to help people see the real root cause of their problems whether in their body, their mindset or their relationships. Now, I help high-achieving, faith-based moms find and work through the root cause of their burnout. My podcast is for high-achieving moms who want to pursue their passions while being present for their families.   Connect with Cheree:   Website   Facebook   Instagram Your host is Rhonda Noordyk, CFEI, CDFA®, CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness Center   Rhonda has dedicated her career to being an advocate for women and educating them on how financial strategies can impact their personal and professional success.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Amanda Singer. Amanda is Co-Owner of West Coast Family Mediation Center. She is a Licensed Attorney, Certified Mediator, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. Amanda's key area of practice is mediation.  According to Amanda, mediation is not going to work in all situations, but it does in a lot more than people realize. Some couples might agree on everything and they just might need more help with getting things done correctly. And there are those that agree on nothing. At least they have to both agree on mediation. Communication is not easy. Make sure you utilize the mediator's expertise to help you through this process, especially if you have kids.  Here are some of Amanda's recommendations about mediation and communication during the divorce process: Mediation is a voluntary process and both partners have to be willing to participate, compromise, and communicate.   Once you're already in mediation, share your concerns with the mediator. Think about how you're communicating with your spouse, or soon be your ex-spouse during the process. It is important to take a step back and think about what it is you're saying and how it is going to be received.  Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Amanda Singer, Co-Owner and Professional Family Mediator, Licensed Attorney, Certified Mediator, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.  Here's how Amanda describes herself: I am a proud co-owner and professional family mediator of West Coast Family Mediation Center (parent company of San Diego Family Mediation Center and California Family Mediation Center in Orange County). We are dedicated to helping families deal with conflict constructively and find ways to improve communication, solve problems, and reach agreements on legal and non-legal issues. I have seen litigation destroy relationships. I am passionate about mediation, which helps our clients maintain a relationship and get to the heart of the issues that are causing conflict. We help families through all stages of life including pre-marital mediation, marital mediation, divorce mediation, parenting plans, blended family mediation, and estate planning distribution.

You need to teach your kids what these three things are and what they do to help us manage our money. It's the reality of life and they should know this while they're young. Preparing them for the future is a gift that they will eventually thank you for.  Teach them real life skills like earning money through allowances or chores. Kids learn best through experience. The rubber meets the road when they're actually experiencing real life scenarios. If you do this, you set up your kids for future success.  Be consistent and use technology, These are two important aspects of building your kid's success. Teach them to consistently earn money, save a little bit, share a little bit and spend on their card. If you completely fall off the wagon, then just get back on. You don't have to be perfect but be consistent. Plus, use technology for your benefit and just go with the flow.  Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Gregg Murset.

In today's episode, Rhonda is joined by Bridget Potterton. Bridget is a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert in the state of California. Today they discuss the things you should be considering before selling your home during your divorce. Selling your home could be a tough decision due to various reasons such as emotional attachment, but you must consider everything when making this big decision in your life.  Bridget reminds today's listeners to be careful and consider everything in making your decision.   Here are some of the key points to the discussion that make this a worthy listen: The key is to take a deep breath and really think through the strategy before you make a decision of whether or not to either buy out a spouse, if that's possible, or whether you need to sell the home. Take a look at the numbers, options and data to make a good decision, not leaving the emotional part at the door but also not forgetting that there is some logic that goes along with the decision making as well.  Hire the right people on your journey. It's not easy to go through a divorce and you need the right professionals along the way. It's important to have experts that you need which could save you time, money, energy and mistakes.  The best time to sell is when both parties are getting along.  Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Bridget Potterton who is a Real Estate Divorce Specialist and owner of the Bridget Coast Team at Keller Williams San Diego Metro.

In today's episode, I sat down with David Iancu of Karp & Iancu, S.C. law firm in the state of Wisconsin, to debunk some of the myths surrounding divorce.  Disclaimer! The discussion that we had pertains specifically to the laws on divorce in the State of Wisconsin. What we discussed may not apply to you as each state has its own laws pertaining to this matter.  Nevertheless, I am encouraging you to listen to our discussion because there might be things that you didn't initially consider that could be touched upon here.    Right off the bat, David Iancu gives his most important advice to people considering divorce and it is this: Get as much intel or information as you can!  He notes that people often lack knowledge about the divorce process. Thus, he encourages you to look out for information to gain clarity about your situation.  Listen to this episode to learn the truth about myths in divorce.   Here are some of the myths that spouses believe:  Myth 1 - "We get to keep what we had before we got married." Myth 2 - "The placement of our children will be on a 50-50 basis." Myth 3 - "The judge will approve any settlement we agree on."

For today's episode, Rhonda is joined by Nicole Cheri Oden. Nicole is an attorney licensed in the State of California for almost 10 years with her own virtual law practice. Today they will discuss the various options when going through a divorce. Litigation divorce isn't the only way and being aware of these options can help families minimize the emotional stress and costs during a difficult time. Taking a step back to review the emotional climate between the two parties can eventually help smoothen the journey through divorce.  Nicole sternly reminds today's listeners that divorces don't necessarily need to be amicable to be successful but to be respectful. Here are some key points to the discussion that makes this a worthy listen: There is more than one way to get a divorce. Listen now to know what to consider when choosing between mediation, collaborative process, cooperative process, and limited scope representation.  Divorce is not free - It will cost time and money so choose wisely on how you spend it. It might cost more to switch gears midway so choose the process that fits you.  Choosing the right team is essential. This is a sensitive and personal time of your life and you should be able to have the lawyer that you're comfortable with.    Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Nicole Cheri Oden.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Ariel Kopac, the founder and owner of Harness Your Hindrance. They talk about money and the mindsets that keep us stuck. We all experience fears around money, and that fear is heightened when there is a significant life change, especially divorce. Knowing that you can call out the fear, face it, and not be manipulated by it, you embrace the power you have. We can be manipulated by fear, or we can manipulate our fear. The choice is ours. Women going through divorce need to know that they have the power to choose. Ariel's message to you today is: Whatever you decide, know that your greatest limitations are always those that you place upon yourself.  Listen to this episode and learn about some of the strategies that may impact your mindset around money.  Here are some of them: Whenever you focus on what you do not want, you are keeping your focus there instead of on what you do want.  Our associations are powerful and can be helpful or hurtful. Reframe money as a tool that you use.  You have to know your truth, so you can deflect the lies and stay strong and focused on what you want to say. You have to know what is your ideal and what is nonnegotiable. Take out time for yourself, figure out what you want first, and then go into conversation.   Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Ariel Kopac. Ariel is the Founder and Owner of Harness Your Hindrance.  Here's how Ariel describes herself: I am a mindset business coach, focused on empowering people to find and face the fears that are holding them back from reaching their next level of success. My professional background is in training and development for financial advisors. My curiosity for understanding what holds people back was strongly prompted there. My passion for tapping into the potential of a person has led to my founding of Harness Your Hindrance. I have studied personality assessments, neuro-linguistic programming, limiting beliefs coaching, and human behavior concepts to learn how to tap into the mind and maneuver mindsets. Clients have called me a "mental ninja" as we have discovered what was deep in their mindset, holding them back from pursuing what they want.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Elizabeth Kay, the Morning Show host on 99.1 The Mix and podcast host of “50 Shades of Kay”. Elizabeth talks about her divorce process, the things she did, and the things she wished she did differently. She also talks about her life after divorce. According to her, you are going to have tough days, even after the divorce, because you need the time to mourn your relationship. Elizabeth also shares about her life in a blended family and gives some excellent co-parenting tips. She highly recommends the book The Happy Stepmother by Rachelle Katz, which is very helpful and easy to read.     Elizabeth's message to the women going through the divorce is: Put your needs first and do not apologize for it, even if there are kids involved in the divorce. If you do not take care of yourself, and put your oxygen mask on first, you are going to suffer the consequences of that down the road, and ultimately, so will your children.  Here are some of her recommendations: You are in the stage of the process where you are thinking very emotionally. And you are making permanent decisions. Put your power team together that will get you through and help you realize that you are not alone.  And find someone you can talk to that is completely not involved and does not know all the people involved. You can picture something in your future, but it does not always happen. It is good to plan, but sometimes you need not be so strict with the plan. You have to follow your gut. Your kids are paying attention. They hear things, they pick up on things. If you have any frustrations do not say them in front of a child. That does not do anybody any good, and there are always two sides to every story. Get out of your ego.  Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Elizabeth Kay. She is the Morning Show host on 99.1 The Mix in the Greater Milwaukee area, and she also has her podcast called 50 Shades of Kay. Here is how Elizabeth describes herself:  I host the Elizabeth and Radar morning radio show on 99.1 The Mix in Milwaukee, and I host a woman's lifestyle podcast, 50 Shades of Kay. I went through a divorce eight years ago, and now I am remarried. I have a 16-year-old stepson. This past March, I donated my kidney on behalf of my mother-in-law through the paired kidney exchange program. I enjoy working out, traveling, cheering for our Wisconsin sports teams, playing with our boxer Mila and going to concerts.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Amee Quiriconi. Amee is an advocate, business consultant, speaker, author, and the owner of Activity Girl, LLC. Amee has been divorced twice and has learned valuable lessons from each experience. According to Amee, divorce is emotional. We have to find space in our divorce process to breathe, to calm down, and to come back to the really hard decisions that we have to make when we are not amplified, and elevated, stressed down, and depressed. Here are some of her thoughts and recommendations: Support system is invaluable. It is hard to do this on your own, especially in a high-conflict situation. We have to figure out where can we get resources of people that are not in the swirl, in the perimeter of the hurricane, but are sitting safely and calmly in the middle. Divorce is hard. And if you haven't done therapy or counseling for the duration of your divorce, I highly recommend finding somebody who can help you with that because divorce is triggering a lot of things in us. Pivot, stop and think about what you're doing. Treat it like a business. We have to be able to evaluate what is the cost – emotionally, financially… and what is the potential of returning our investment. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Amee Quiriconi, Business Consultant, Speaker, and Autor, the owner of Activity Girl LCC. Here's how Amee describes herself: Unfortunately, I've divorced a couple of times and had to deal with financial abuse before and during a divorce. My financial turnaround in my life was of the hardest things to do, but it happened. I am an advocate for women and their financial independence, even if happily married because you never know when life will happen, and you will need to support yourself (and maybe kids) all on your own.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Attorney Dan Exner, Family Law and Divorce Lawyer, and the Founder of Exner Legal, LLC. They talk about mediation. There are some misperceptions about mediation. Mediation is not an alternative to the divorce process. And mediator is not an attorney that's there to advise people. Mediators are not supposed to give you any kind of direction - their role is either to find the middle ground or to figure out where there is none.  The one thing Dan wants you to know is: You need to be empowered with as much information as possible before you go down this path, whatever path you take. There are many good things you can learn from their conversation, and here are some of them: Internet is a great source of information. But be careful what you read online. Law changes from state to state, but procedures can change county by county, or even judge to judge. Even be careful who you are talking to because people can have completely different experiences than you. You are going to have to mediate if you have children and if you're litigating custody and placement issues. Mediator can be any person, but you want to choose an attorney, or retired judge, who has dealt with the subject matter because they have seen these cases many times and can give you the best option. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Dan Exner, Family Law & Divorce Lawyer — Founder of Exner Legal, LLC. Attorney Daniel A. Exner has experienced the best education Wisconsin has to offer. He received his double bachelor's degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Juris doctorate from Marquette University. Attorney Exner has practiced exclusively law affecting the family from modifying the current family tree to planning for legal needs in the future. His career started at the national family law firm of Cordell & Cordell where he focused on fathers' rights. He helped opened Sterling Law Offices and practiced there as a partner until the Fall of 2018, representing people from all walks of life. He is a member of the Wisconsin Bar, Illinois Bar (inactive), and Waukesha Bar Association. He is a member of the Foley Inns of Court. Here's how Dan describes himself: I am a family law specialist. I can say that because this is all I do. And I am focused on two main practice pillars: I really stress communication. That is important to me. And I do not tell my clients what they are going to do. I'll give you my advice, I'll tell you what is a good idea or what is a bad idea, but at the end of the day, it is your case, it is your judgment, you are the one that has to live with it.

In this episode, Rhonda welcomes Ilyssa Panitz, a Divorce Journalist and Columnist. According to Ilyssa, too many times women act on emotions, and then when faced with a barrage of questions about money, finances, marital residence, and expenses, they come up short by not having any of the answers. It is crucial, vital, and imperative that women do their homework before serving their husbands with divorce papers. Ilyssa's message for you today is: You are going to be OK. You are going to land on your feet. You are going to survive and thrive. Here are some of her recommendations: Preparation is everything. Keep your emotions in check. It is a very big transaction and you have to treat it as such. You have to know your facts. Investigate, investigate, investigate. Set a new email address, your own bank account, get your own credit card, check your vehicle for a tracking device, get off your social media, do not put anything regarding your matter on social media, get Life360 app for your children… Put a team together. Your lawyer should not be your accountant. Find 2-3 people you like and have them work together. The team you hire works for you.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Dr. Elizabeth Cohen, a clinical psychologist and the Divorce Doctor. She is the author of the book Light on the Other Side of Divorce. In this episode, Dr. Cohen shares about the trauma of divorce and healing from that trauma, and she gives some really good tips on how to process the anger. According to Dr. Elizabeth, your experience matters. And the only person you can change is you. Her message for you today is: You are immensely brave, you are immensely courageous, you are strong beyond measure. Here are some of her tips: Watch and notice the thoughts you use. And instead of saying: “My marriage is over, the relationship did not work”, consider saying: “My relationship came to its perfect conclusion. It gave me and my partner everything it was meant to, and now it is time to release it”. To process anger, allow your body to move through anger by listening to music. Do not talk smack about the other parent. You have the right to be angry, but your child should never be part of that. Your child has a biological need to attach to both parents. If you talk smack about the other parent, you kid will feel unsafe. - Dr. Cohen has provided for you a pdf file with some really good prompts on how to replace the words of anger with the words that can help you child.

In this episode Rhonda introduces Rebecca Stern Kaufman, Founder of Pearl Mediation Group, LLC. Rebecca is a divorce mediator that specializes in working with families that have children with special needs, and she is also a special education advocate for those parents. According to Rebecca, whether you’re experiencing a divorce, separation, or you have a child with any kind of behavioral, developmental or educational issue, it’s a crisis, it is something you did not expect. In that moment of crisis, you’re not going to make the best decisions. You need a team of professionals, people who can help you to answer all those questions and teach you to ask the right questions. Rebecca’s message to you is: You are not alone, and we are going to build the team together that’s going to help give you all the information you need to move forward and in more empowered way. Here are some of her recommendations: Having the right team is important to provide you with right information. If you have a special needs child, you may need a special needs financial planner, or a health insurance advocate. If you can understand what’s motivating the person on the other side, that is going to help you work on these relationships better. You do not have to do what your attorney said the last three clients did, or what your friend down the street did. You have to do what works best for your family.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes Kristin Belkofer, a mental health professional, and a Founder and Clinical Director of CLARA Healing Institute. They talk about the parenting aspect of the divorce process and therapeutic strategies for working with children. According to Kristin, if communication and healthy confrontation is a problem in marriage, it is going to be a problem in the coparenting relationship. Her message to you today is: This is just a chapter of not only your story but of your family’s story. And remember that kids are extremely resilient. Here are some of Kristin’s counsels: It is important for both parents to feel that they can have some space for transitioning and coping from stressful situations. Kids are resilient but they need support – the earlier, the better – even if it seems that the child handles it well. Because sometimes they don’t even know what to ask, or what to say. There are some great tools for families for better day-to-day communication, like Talking Parents, and My Family Wizard. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Klara Belkofer, Psychotherapist, and Founder and Clinical Director of CLARA Healing Institute.   Here’s how Kristin describes herself: In my role as a psychotherapist, I provide therapy services, support, and psychoeducation for women who are engaging in the divorce process. Additionally, I work with children who are moving through the divorce process, helping them to create a healthy and resilient narrative about the family story. I am trained as a child specialist for collaborative divorce, and I help parents create holistic parenting plans in the best interest of the child. I enjoy using simple, easy to understand language to help parents understand the basic tenants of brain development and neural response to life transitions for their children. I went through a divorce in 2010 when my son was 7, and I would love to help other women learn from my mistakes and make parenting decisions out of confidence and trust in themselves, rather than guilt or doubt.

On this episode Rhonda welcomes Christine Bannister, a Courage Coach, mom of two, and a full-time Dispatch Supervisor for 911 center. Christine shares about her own experience of raising children as a single mom, building her career in emergency services, and PTSD as a result of being overloaded and not dealing with the trauma of divorce. Christine’s message for those who are going through divorce is: This is not the end of you. There is hope. As you progress, and move through the trauma, and start dealing with things, you continue to find yourself and discover who you are. Here are some of her thoughts: In all the moments when you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, and you feel like you can’t take care of yourself, stop everything you’re doing, and rest, or go for a walk, or choose a better food item that can nourish your body or your brain in a different way. Because ‘someday’ takes a really long time to get here. We all have trauma, but we just ignore it. It is really critical to know and understand that trauma does not get better, it just gets buried. Identify it, talk to someone, and keep processing. Remember that you’re not alone. What you’re going through is normal when it comes to dealing with abnormal circumstances, like divorce. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Christine Bannister. Christine is a Courage Coach and 911 Dispatch Supervisor. Here’s how describes herself: After being numb, exhausted, frightened, rundown, and just trying to survive... the worst hit and PTSD struck me down. But I was brave enough to decide that it would not dictate to me whether my career would be over and I fought to gain my life back. The journey through PTSD has been tough but has increased my capacity to love and learn and evolve. It forced me to deal with me, deal with self-care deficiencies, and deal with the pain & trauma long hidden in my heart. The healing is not done yet but what glorious good God has done through it all. Now, I am wrapping up my 26-year career in emergency services and working to launch a Coaching business while earning my degree in Crisis & Trauma Counseling from Liberty university.

In this episode Rhonda welcomes her friend Jessica Lucchesi  Moylan, health and wellness expert, a mom of three daughters and recently divorced after 25 years of marriage. Jessica shares her insight and encouragement with you, and her message for you today is: Tack your head, your heart and your gut in the alignment. According to Jessica, divorce is like a bad dream, but she’d rather be alone than lonely with somebody else. Here are some of Jessica’s suggestions for those women contemplating divorce: Start to journal – What do I want? What do I want out of life, what do I want in a relationship? It is a really personal decision. You have to choose your hard - because, it is going to be hard. There will be things you have to go through whether you stay or whether you leave. Keep your side of the street clean. And be absolutely resolute and sound in your decision. Contact Information and Other Resources Our guest today was Jessica Moylan, Wellness & fitness lover, make-up artist, leader and Arbonne consultant. Here’s how she describes herself: I come from a divorced family. I wanted to do it differently. I met my husband when I was 21. He was a little older than me, and it felt safe and secure. From the outside, compared to the instability I was living in, it looked stable. It took me 20 years, to realize that my marriage is emotionally bankrupt. I did not have a partner. I did everything on my own. I felt like I was a single mom with him as a fourth child. Finally, I decided that I’d rather be alone.
