Please introduce yourselves! Let's get to know each other...
I'm Yvonne, Gen Xer, mom of two amazing daughters. I survived an extremely high-conflict divorce that lasted almost 4 years, and I learned a LOT. Here are a few things that experience taught me: 1️⃣ Blame halts progress and keeps you in survival mode. Did you complete the quick, eye-opening QUIZ on the “About Page”? It is also in the Classroom "Start HERE", and proves exactly why blaming is futile. Understanding this was key for me to let go of a lot of things and truly get started on my healing journey. 2️⃣ Empowerment and transformation are an inside job. The only person you have any control over is YOU! Trying to change others is exhausting and has close to a 0% success rate. Heal yourself, and you will no longer feel the need to fix everyone. (Are you hearing me, empaths? We like to "fix.") 3️⃣ Do NOT be financially dependent on anyone or anything. This includes your ex, adult kids, family, friends, the government, pensions, insurance, inheritance, credit cards, loans, or an employer. Unless you want to be stressed out for the rest of your life, that is. (Stop with the excuses—I’ve already used most of them!) We live in an amazing time with so many options to create financial independence, and it all starts with our money mindset! I created this community to provide a safe and positive space for women to share, connect, learn to love themselves, heal from trauma, and live their most authentic lives. This is the community I wish I had when I was going through my high-conflict divorce. (Family is usually not your best resource!)
