A Reality Check for Those Navigating Divorce 💭 For those of you going through divorce: what would happen if you suddenly became ill or injured and could not work? I’ll never forget a colleague who battled cancer while rebuilding her life after divorce. She had to return to work months before her doctors recommended—not because she was ready, but because she simply couldn’t afford not to. Watching her struggle through treatment while worrying about bills was heartbreaking and eye-opening. No one wants to think about the “what ifs,” especially when we’re younger and feel invincible. But life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. If you’re going through divorce and in rebuilding mode, ask yourself: • What happens to my income if I can’t work for 3-6 months? • How will I cover my expenses during recovery? • Who depends on my income, and how would they be affected? These aren’t just “nice to have” protections—they’re foundational to your financial security. Change your mindset: Instead of saying “I can’t afford to protect myself,” try “I can’t afford NOT to protect my ability to earn and provide for those I care about.” Your future self will thank you for planning ahead. 💪 Going through divorce or a major life change? Let’s connect and go over these questions together. I am here to help you as you navigate this new chapter.
