She explains why control over money is one of an abuser’s strongest weapons, and how breaking free often requires resources victims don’t have. Ivette walks listeners through the red flags, the risks of leaving, and the essential elements of a personal financial safety plan. She also shows how the Seven Money Milestones can help survivors rebuild stability, dignity, and independence. This is a deeply moving and urgent conversation about turning knowledge into protection and protection into freedom.
