Ep 505: From Financially In the Dark to Fully In Control: Jen Hatmaker’s Wake-Up Call
When bestselling author and podcast host Jen Hatmaker’s 26-year marriage imploded, she realized something shocking: even though she was the breadwinner, she had no idea how much money she made… or how to access it.
In this deeply honest and empowering conversation, Jen sits down with Jean Chatzky to discuss her financial “wake-up” — how she went from completely disconnected to financially independent after divorce. Together, they unpack how faith, purity culture, and traditional gender roles shaped her relationship with money, and how she ultimately took back control.
What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
Why she went to an attorney, not a therapist, after finding out about her husband’s affair
The cultural and religious beliefs that kept her from managing her money
Jen’s 90-day crash course to financial independence (and the exact checklist she followed)
How friendships and solo travel helped her heal emotionally and financially
Her evolving relationship with spirituality after stepping away from church
Jen’s advice for women who feel they’re “late” to their own financial lives
