From Overwhelmed to Empowered
Make your next best move and get the post-divorce lifestyle you deserve.
Her Passion Became Her Mission
Rhonda wasn’t always a strong communicator. She was a master at the art of avoiding conflict, no matter the cost and she paid the price.
There were times when she was unsure if she would survive her extremely difficult circumstances; if it was really possible to lead an emotionally stable life with healthy relationships.
After years (and years and years) of therapy, training and courses, Rhonda has overcome the impossible. Her determination to change how she communicated her needs, her desires and her emotions is what she now uses to empower women facing a divorce so they do not fall into the same traps that she did.
Being a married woman in the financial industry took every ounce of strong, clear and assertive communication she had learned.
She began holding financial seminars for women going through a divorce while she was a financial advisor with a boutique registered investment advisory firm. At that time, it was unheard of, and her male colleagues thought she was ridiculous to be so specific in her audience. They had the mindset that many financial advisors and divorce attorneys have today, “you really don’t need a CDFA® and that financial advice is financial advice”.
It became clear to Rhonda that women going through divorce needed someone who was:
- Strategic and knowledgeable to help them prepare their financials before, during and after the divorce so that they could live the quality of life they deserved.
- Empowering them with financial knowledge and giving them clarity to make the right decisions.
- Providing compassion and a steady voice when the circumstances were emotional and overwhelming.
So Rhonda became an advocate for women going through a divorce.
For her clients this often means being able to provide a great home for her family; continuing to send the kids to private school; investing in causes that are important to her; buying a rental property for income; starting a business, taking a vacation and living their best life.
17,000 hours; 565 clients and $20 million dollars back in the hands of women going through divorce later, Rhonda is committed to fill the gap between traditional financial advisors and divorce support groups for women.
