pdf STARTING OVER: Her Simple Guide to Financial Independence After Divorce

Three days after her divorce was final, Maria sat alone at her kitchen table with a shoebox of bank statements she had never opened — and realized she didn't actually know what she owned.

If that moment sounds familiar, you're not behind. You're exactly where most women find themselves after a divorce: holding a financial life that used to be shared, with no clear map for untangling it alone.

Starting Over isn't another book telling you to "feel empowered" and hope the numbers work themselves out. It's a step-by-step guide built around the real financial decisions a woman actually faces in the first month, the first year, and the first decade after divorce — written the way a financial planner would explain it across the table, one piece at a time.

Inside, you'll find a clear path through:

The first 30 days — the handful of urgent moves that protect you from avoidable financial damage, before anything else Understanding what you really own — building an honest picture of your assets, debts, and net worth as an individual, maybe for the first time Dividing assets and debts without shortchanging yourself — the mistakes that quietly cost women the most, and how to avoid them Building a new budget for a single income — one that actually survives past the first month Rebuilding your credit in your own name — from a secured card to a score you can rely on Retirement, alimony, and child support — the paperwork nobody explains, made plain Protecting what's yours — insurance, wills, and the beneficiary forms everyone forgets Building your next chapter — turning survival mode into a plan for the next five and ten years

Each chapter follows real, composite stories of women who've walked this exact road — the shoebox, the forgotten credit card, the retirement account that took eleven months to transfer — so the advice never feels abstract. Every chapter ends with a clear, practical next step, not a vague pep talk.

This book won't replace your attorney, your accountant, or your financial planner. What it will do is make sure you walk into those conversations already understanding the shape of the decisions in front of you — so you stop feeling like every meeting is the first time you're hearing the terms.

You didn't choose this starting point. But from here, every decision is yours.
