TWR 330: 5 Questions to Ask Before Black Friday Shopping After Divorce

The transition from shopping as a married person to navigating sales season as a newly single woman can feel overwhelming. That is why in this solo episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I share five powerful questions to help you make intentional purchases that align with your new life, without falling into the trap of retail therapy or buyer’s remorse.

I discuss refreshing your living space with new decor, investing in self-development, and tips for only making those purchases that will serve a meaningful purpose in your next chapter. And don’t miss my highly amusing story about almost impulse-buying a Mercedes convertible post-divorce!
