Economic abuse is a common tactic in abusive relationships—yet it’s often misunderstood or overlooked. In this episode of Taking Back Control, we take a closer look at the Moving Ahead workbook, a resource developed by The Allstate Foundation to help survivors navigate financial instability and work toward long-term independence.

Host Alyssa Toledo is joined by Tonya Lovelace, President & CEO of Lovelace Consulting Services, Inc., who served as expert facilitator for the workbook’s most recent revision. Sharisse Kimbro of The Allstate Foundation and Amy Sánchez, CEO of BWJP, also join the conversation to share how the workbook has evolved over time and how it continues to support advocates and survivors across the country.

Together, they explore how financial empowerment is not just about numbers—it’s about safety, dignity, and building a future on your own terms.
