The Must-Hear Divorce Money Advice from Financial Advocate Rhonda Noordyk
You can almost hear the breath women hold when they whisper the question: “Am I going to be judged for my finances?” It’s the fear that keeps so many of us silent—afraid to ask, afraid to look too closely, afraid of what it might mean. In this deeply grounding conversation, Olivia sits down with Rhonda Noordyk, a nationally recognized financial divorce advocate and founder of the Women’s Financial Wellness Center. With over a decade of experience helping women navigate divorce finances, Rhonda brings clarity, compassion, and strategy to the emotional chaos of financial anxiety, financial judgment, and the hidden layers of money shame that often surface during divorce.
Throughout the episode, Rhonda breaks down why so many women feel financially behind—even when they’ve managed households, budgets, and caregiving for years. She shares eye-opening client stories about financial disclosure, mortgage documents, tax returns, and the quiet behind-the-scenes moves partners often make before filing. Rhonda walks listeners through her transformative BRIDGE Method, a step-by-step framework that helps women gather information, understand their financial landscape, and build the confidence they’ve been taught to outsource. Her approach is not only educational—it’s emotionally stabilizing, reminding women that financial literacy isn’t a test you’ve failed, but a skill you’re allowed to learn.
At its heart, this episode is about reclaiming power without shame. Rhonda reminds listeners that seeking help is not a sign of weakness—it’s a strategic, courageous step toward financial empowerment. Whether someone is in the early stages of considering divorce, deep in the process, or rebuilding life after separation, this conversation offers hope, actionable guidance, and a profound mindset shift: you are not behind, you are not alone, and you deserve a financial future built on knowledge—not fear. Listeners walk away with practical tips, emotional validation, and a renewed belief that financial expertise belongs to them too.
