When divorce upends your life, the hardest part is knowing where to begin. Most people are flooded with fear, urgency, and emotion - and without a roadmap, they make decisions that cost them far more than money. That’s exactly why I created the E.A.W. Divorce Strategy Framework™. In this second part of our series, I’m breaking down the signature process I use to help clients shift from reactive choices to intentional strategy, so they can protect their stability, their sanity, and their long-term financial future.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Urgency is emotional, not strategic. When you don’t yet have the full financial landscape, “What do I do first?” is the wrong question. The E.A.W. Divorce Strategy Framework™ helps you ask the right ones instead.

• A clear sequence protects you from costly mistakes. Following a structured process keeps you from making reactive decisions that might feel good today but create long-term financial consequences.

• Survival mode doesn’t build your next chapter. Strategy does. The moment you shift from panic to informed planning, you reclaim power, clarity, and the ability to make decisions that set you up for your strongest future.
