363. Make Your Own Damn Money: Breaking Free from Financial Dependence on Your Ex

Are you relying on alimony or child support to stay financially afloat after divorce?

 

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I dive into why depending on alimony and child support is a trap. While these payments can be helpful, they’re not a long-term financial plan. What happens if the checks stop coming? If your ex loses his job? If your security depends on someone else, you are not truly free.

 

I walk you through the mindset shift you need, why financial independence equals power, and how to start making money on your own terms. Whether it’s starting a business, freelancing, or re-entering the workforce, you have options.
