Best Divorce Podcast for Women in High-Stakes and High-Conflict Divorces
Real Talk for Women Facing the Toughest Splits—and the Strategies That Can Actually Help
Is your divorce starting to feel more like a tactical takedown than a transition? Like you’re playing 4D chess with someone who keeps moving the pieces—and somehow still getting the sympathy?
Hi, I’m Rhonda Noordyk, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and fierce advocate for women navigating complex, high-conflict divorces. I created the Disrupting Divorce podcast to be a space where real talk meets real strategy. Because I kept hearing from women just like you:
“I’m so lost—can someone please tell me what my next step is?”
Welcome to the space where we go beyond the basics and dive deep into what women’s divorce really looks like—financial abuse, legal manipulation, hidden assets, trauma responses, and how to get your power back anyway. If you’re navigating how to prepare for divorce, this is where your clarity begins.

In this article, I’m sharing why Disrupting Divorce: Conversations for Women is the best divorce podcast for high-stakes, high-conflict situations—and what makes it different from the sea of vague, feel-good advice out there.
Stick around and you’ll walk away knowing exactly where to start, what to listen for, and how to use this as a lifeline when it feels like you’re barely keeping your head above water.
Let’s walk through it together.👇
Why This Isn’t Your Average Divorce Podcast
Let’s be real: most women’s divorce podcasts are either:
Vaguely inspirational ("You are strong! You will heal!")
Or overly technical ("Here’s how to file a Form 886-A for equitable distribution...")
Helpful? Sort of.
But if you’re in the middle of a gut-wrenching split, sitting in a mediation room where no one seems to understand your fear or your finances—you need something different. You need someone to talk about the real stuff. The stuff that doesn’t get posted on Instagram.
That’s why this show pulls back the curtain on topics like:
Why your "neutral" mediator might actually be anything but
What to do when your soon-to-be-ex is hiding assets in plain sight
The difference between a divorce attorney and a divorce financial advocate (hint: one files motions, the other fights for your long-term future)
How trauma impacts your decision-making—and how to slow it down when the pressure to settle ramps up
I created my podcast to be the resource I wish every woman had before walking into a courtroom that wasn’t designed with her in mind.
