In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with financial advisor, author, and total resilience queen, Claudia Porter. What starts as a story of sleep-deprived motherhood and a seemingly stable marriage unravels into an eye-opening journey of survival, self-trust, and stunning reinvention.

Claudia shares how she navigated a high-stakes divorce, battled a legally binding prenup (spoiler: it didn’t hold up), and found creative ways to fund her freedom—yes, the diamond ring plays a starring role. From recording tense conversations to raising four boys on her own and switching careers after academia shut its doors, Claudia is living proof that rock bottom is sometimes the foundation you need to rise. Today, she’s a thriving financial planner, empowering women to break free from financial dependence and build something truly their own.

If you’ve ever asked, “But how will I survive?”—this episode will show you that with a little strategy, a lot of heart, and a sprinkle of divine timing, the answer is: you will.

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I unpack a painful but crucial truth: sometimes, the people who love you the most—your family, your closest friends—aren’t the support system you actually need during divorce.

I share my deeply personal journey of realizing that my family’s love came bundled with fear, judgment, and expectations that made me feel even more isolated during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. This isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness. Because the support you need to heal and rise isn’t always found in the usual places.

You’ll learn how to evaluate the support systems around you, identify emotional red flags, and consciously curate a circle that truly sees and supports the version of you that’s trying to emerge.

Whether you’re sobbing on the floor, navigating co-parenting, or just trying to breathe through the overwhelm—this episode will help you feel less alone, and more empowered to choose who stands beside you as you rebuild.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

• Your Emotions Are the Compass – Learn how to tell who’s helping and who’s hurting by how you feel after every conversation.

• No Shade to Family – Love doesn't always equal support. And that’s okay.

• Your Old Circles Were Built for Your Old Life – Why some friendships naturally fall away after divorce.

• Strategic Support Systems – How to match your needs with the right kind of friend energy (cheerleader, mom vibe, spiritual sage, tough love).

• Redefining Relationships – How Erica rebuilt her network and herself—one aligned conversation at a time.

We talk about:

• 00:00 Introduction

• 01:04 Why Family May Not Be the Best Support

• 02:39 The Importance of Support Systems

• 03:56 Evaluating Your Current Support Circles

• 05:11 Finding the Right Support During Divorce

• 07:27 Personal Experiences and Shifts in Support

• 15:24 Leveraging Different Types of Support

• 17:23 Building New Social Circles

• 23:08 Conclusion: Reflect and Build Your Support System

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with Kundalini and neurosomatic practitioner, multi-seven-figure business mentor, and founder of the As She Rises brand, KC Volard. And whew—this one is a ride through fire and freedom.

We talk about burning down the parts of your life that no longer fit—businesses, relationships, identities—and rising from the ashes as a woman deeply rooted in her power. KC shares her personal story of becoming a single mom at 25, building (and later burning down) a seven-figure brand rooted in hustle, and learning to rebuild from a place of truth, safety, and self-sourced worth.

If you’ve been clinging to something that no longer serves you—whether it’s a marriage, a job, or an identity—this episode will crack you open in the best way.

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

• Burn It Down to Build It Right – Why the first version of your “success” after divorce might still be rooted in survival.

• Misalignment Isn’t Failure – How ignoring misalignment can lead to burnout—and how to choose differently.

• Good Enough Is Not Good Enough – Why staying in what’s “fine” will always keep you from the life that’s meant for you.

• Regulate to Reclaim – The science behind why your nervous system needs safety before your soul can soar.

• Rewrite the Story – You are not your divorce, your business, or your past. You’re the author of what comes next.

• 🌿 The Power of Space – Why stepping back instead of reacting can shift even the most frustrating dynamics.

• 🔄 Small Changes, Big Impact – How to slowly build trust, improve communication, and stop unnecessary battles.

Ever feel like you’re carrying too much—but you just keep going? In this solo episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica gets real about stress, burnout, and the sneaky ways we ignore the warning signs until it’s too late.
