When navigating decisions in divorce—whether financial, legal, or related to co-parenting—every choice has long-term effects. Being an active voice in these decisions is necessary to ensure that your next chapter and your children's future remain secure and intact. Failing to be involved in these decisions can leave you vulnerable to outcomes that don’t align with your best interests.

• Decisions may be made for you that don’t reflect your needs, values, or long-term goals.
• You may agree to terms that create financial strain or unnecessary hardship.
• Your co-parenting arrangement may not fully support your children’s well-being simply because you didn’t advocate for what was best for them.
• Regret can set in when you realize you had the opportunity to shape your future—but didn’t take it.

At the end of the day, this is your life, your future, and your chance to create a stable foundation for yourself and your children. Speaking up and being involved in these decisions isn’t just important—it’s essential.

In this week's episode, join me as discus why self-advocacy is the #1 skill you need during the divorce process, the common misconceptions about advocating for yourself, 5 ways on what advocating for yourself looks like during the divorce process and seven 7 reflection questions to ensure that you're advocating for yourself.
