Divorcing a Narcissist: Kelly's Journey to a Fair Divorce Settlement

Kelly and her husband were juggling not one, but two businesses while navigating the twists and turns of marriage for a solid 15 years. Kelly, who worked as a hairstylist three days a week, was no stranger to the hustle.

But when it came to their finances, her spouse kept her in the dark, feeding her just enough info to keep her from digging deeper.

Sound familiar? 🙄

Fast forward to the day that Kelly reached out to us at the Women's Financial Wellness Center. She was divorcing a narcissist, and she found herself at a breaking point. She was fed up, frustrated, and quite frankly, questioning her own sanity.

"Am I being too demanding?”

“Am I the difficult one here?"

Let me tell you, as Kelly poured out her frustrations, it was crystal clear—she had every darn right to feel the way she did. And I'm betting you do, too.

You see, as women, we often feel "greedy" for asking for more in divorce. But let’s set the record straight—demanding your fair share in a divorce is NOT about "taking your ex to the cleaners." It's about:

🔐 Securing your future,

🧘 Finding peace of mind,

💵 And ensuring financial stability.

Generations of conditioning have made us hesitate, doubt our worth, and feel guilty for wanting what's rightfully ours. But don’t you think it’s time to rewrite this narrative? I sure do. In fact, it’s my life’s mission.

Women deserve their fair share. We deserve financial stability, security, and a future without compromise. With Certified Divorce Financial Analysts® on their side, women like Kelly—heck, women like YOU—can reclaim their power. 🙌
