Have you heard about my new offering? The Ugly Side of Change, is that women show their power without fanfare but with calm and grounded concern for others.
Recently, Jody Bruns shared her “ah-ha” moment when she realized that she, as a financial professional working with mortgage education and a broker, was a victim of financial abuse at the hands of her ex-husband. She worked full time, had five children, and was actually paying for her household’s financial expenses, solely. Even having the responsibility of paying for her husband’s gas for his car.
“We see a lot of financial abuse in what we do, we recognize it, and you know, sadly, I was a very strong woman, I still am, but even back before our divorce. I was a professional. I managed our finances, everything, and then when I started studying financial abuse as well, I recognized, you know, what I was a victim of financial abuse.”
This is why I wanted to begin these powerful conversations, because when you know you know and that moment is life changing in ways not expected.
We were mid-conversation, talking about rebuilding your life after divorce, reclaiming your sense of home, and making empowered financial decisions, when the storm sirens started.
There was an actual tornado warning during our recording of The Ugly Side of Change with Jody Bruns.
Yes — a real tornado warning.
We had to abruptly stop, take a breath, and to finish the conversation. And in true “ugly side of change” fashion… We rode the change and had a powerful unexpected ending.
Because storms happen. In life. In homes. In hearts.
But how we respond is where the healing begins.
You can watch this episode as a reminder that you can weather the storm and rebuild — with clarity, grace, and your feet firmly on the ground.
