What if 5 moves were all it took to get out of your head and into action?
If you’re feeling frozen by the decision to divorce, this DONE-IN-A-DAY CHECKLIST shows you where to START FINANCIALLY — before you call a lawyer. It’s not the same-old advice, I promise!
👉 Yes, I want “5 Money Moves to Get Your Divorce Moving”
Start here, not in an attorney’s office.
Divorce is overwhelming. When you don’t know what to do first, it’s easy to feel frozen. The truth? The very first steps often aren’t legal—they’re financial.
I created this short checklist to share five smart money moves you can complete in just one day, so you feel more prepared, more confident, and more inspired to take the next best steps in your divorce.
This is not the typical advice.
You won’t find “gather documents” or “make a budget” on my checklist. You will find fresh advice for your fresh start. If even one of these money moves gets you unstuck, it will be worth it!
Actionable steps to implement right away.

This checklist is for you, even if…
