Have you ever looked at other coaches online and thought, "They've got it all figured out…why don't I?" I used to think the exact same thing. But the truth is, when I first started my coaching business, I was a 40-year-old divorced mom with zero social media experience, massive imposter syndrome, and absolutely no idea what I was doing. And yet, it changed my life.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sharing the 5 biggest lessons I wish I had known before becoming a coach. If you've been dreaming of starting your coaching business but fear, self-doubt, or perfectionism keeps getting in the way, then this episode is for you.

Ever wondered what actually happens to your assets—or your kids—if something happens to you after divorce? Most divorced moms assume everything will "just go where it's supposed to," but the truth is estate planning is one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of protecting your future.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sitting down with attorney and wealth expert Lauren Klein to break down the mistakes divorced women don't even realize they're making when it comes to wills, trusts, guardianship, probate, prenups, and financial protection. Lauren explains what really happens if you don't update your estate plan, how to make sure your kids are protected, and what steps you should take right now to set up the future you want.

If you've been divorced and have no idea where to start with protecting your money, your kids, or your future, then this episode is for you.
