Money & Mindset: How To Navigate Divorce

I was living wonderfully – in a 5,000-sq.ft. house on five acres of land overlooking the valley with a 90-ft wraparound porch. I could watch every sunset while enjoying a glass of wine. 

It was all perfect…

Except at that time, I was 50 pounds overweight. I was working like a dog. And divorce was looming. Ultimately, it happened. 

Divorce is both a mindset journey and a money journey. You’ve got to have both money and mindset intact. You have to look at the future differently because when you go from being a duo to solo, it’s scary. You no longer have a thinking partner. And even if that thinking partner sucks, you don’t have a thinking partner anymore. 

This is what I’m going to talk about today – which is part of the Money & Mindset series.

Whether you’re a child of divorce and you don’t want to see your kids go through what you went through… or not, one thing’s for sure. Divorce is still divorce. So you want to protect both yourself and your kids in the process.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • How I learned about my ex-husband’s affair and how I was coping
  • The need to create a divorce checklist – Here’s one I created for you – marissanehlsen.com/divorce
  • Going through the mental torture that I wasn’t enough
  • Learning the art of forgiveness
  • Why forgiveness and gratitude go together
