Your Fresh Start: Building a Brighter Financial Future

Divorce, break ups, moving to a new city or country - all big life changing events that can leave you feeling a little bit lost or untethered—especially when it comes to money. Maybe your ex handled the bills, or you’re facing a new reality where every financial decision is yours alone. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But here’s what you deserve to know: You are capable, and you don’t have to do this solo.


Welcome to your financial fresh start. This isn’t about being “perfect” with money—it’s about progress, support, and reclaiming your power. Below, you’ll find a roadmap to rebuild your finances and a community of women ready to cheer you on. No judgment, just sisterhood.

5 Steps to Financial Confidence After Divorce


Open Your ‘Fresh Start’ Account

  • Even if it’s just $50, a new checking/savings account in your name is your first act of independence.


Audit Your Money (Without Panic)

  • Use our Divorce Financial Checklist (free download) to track assets, debts, and bills—one step at a time.


Find Your ‘Starting Over’ Squad

  • Join communities like GFB’s Personal Finance Group, where women share their goals, steps taken and wins to keep everyone accountable and on track!


Master the ‘Big 3’ Bills

  • Focus only on housing, utilities, and groceries first. The rest can wait until you’re steady.


Celebrate Every Win

Paid a bill solo? Saved $20? Text your new money besties. This is how confidence grows.
