What if everything you’ve been told about retirement is wrong—especially after divorce?
In this episode, Natalie and Diana explore why the traditional retirement model might actually be keeping you stuck in fear and financial anxiety. You’ll discover how retirement is just a cultural construct from 1889 that may not serve your post-divorce life at all—and what to do instead.
This is one of my favorite interviews! Today I’m talking with my friend, Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks, author of Gaslighted by God, Holy Ghosted, and her brand-new book, To Rebehold the Stars: Reimagining Faith After Deconstruction.
If you’ve walked through the painful process of deconstructing the toxic theology you inherited, this conversation is going to knock your socks off.
Drawing from Dante’s Inferno (I know, right?!), classical literature, and deep theological study, Tiffany shows you how to create a new spiritual lexicon that actually reflects the heart of God.
(Listen to find out what that even is!)
This isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about holding up each piece to the light and deciding: Does this stay or go?
In Season 3, Episode 8 of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, Natalie and Diana sit down with Diane Wallenta, a certified divorce lending specialist with 25 years in the mortgage industry. If you’re confused about whether you can afford to buy, whether you’re “too old” to get a mortgage, or whether you should just keep renting, this conversation is for you.
You’ll learn the truth about age limits, what lenders actually look at when you’re divorced, how to rebuild your credit after divorce, and why your gut instinct about your budget matters more than what you “qualify” for. Diane breaks down the numbers without the intimidation and gives you the roadmap for making the housing decision that’s right for your unique situation.
What happens when seeing your ex derails all your progress? And why do your friends think he’s such a great guy when you know the truth?
Today we’re going to explore something you probably never expected to find after divorce: abundance. Not the kind with a big bank account. The kind that fills your soul.
You’ll hear about the shift that happens when you stop waiting for heaven and start creating it now. There’s a perspective change that transforms your ex from villain to… something surprising. And you’ll discover why one woman says she makes poverty look good and absolutely means it as a compliment.
In this episode we tackle three questions: What happens when the abuser is the one who leaves? How do you live with the fear of post-separation or post-divorce revenge? And what do you do when your friends just don’t get it?
