Adulting costs extra in many ways, but it also offers moments of connection, learning, and transformation. By sharing honest conversations about money, family, faith, health, and the unexpected, we create space for support and understanding.

Divorce reshapes your life in many ways, and one of the most immediate challenges is managing your finances alone. For many women, this is the first time they face major money decisions independently. Questions about income, budgeting, and housing become urgent, especially when it comes to mortgages. If you are navigating mortgage choices after divorce, remember this: you are not behind, you are not failing, you are rebuilding—and that takes real courage.

The start of a new year brings a fresh chance to rethink your finances. If you want to feel lighter financially, build home equity faster, or get out from under your mortgage sooner in 2025, you’re in the right place. You don’t need a big income boost or drastic lifestyle changes to make real progress. Small, smart adjustments can shave years off your mortgage and save you tens of thousands in interest.
