This week I’m opening up about something that feels raw but vital: financial independence for mums. It started with a viral comment I left on a reel by Tori Dunlap (Her First $100K). The conversation that followed showed me how many women still believe 'my partner handles the money, so I don’t need to worry.'
But is that really safe? What happens if life changes through divorce, illness, job loss or widowhood?
you’ll hear:
why 'my partner handles the money' feels safe, but isn’t
the truth behind the 80% of divorces initiated by women
how history still shapes our finances today
the motherhood penalty and why mums retire with less
a step-by-step guide to becoming financially independent (without shame)
