How Financial Abuse Destroys Your Confidence Before Divorce
Financial abuse can happen even when you earn the money. In this episode of Financial Mastery Simplified, Jax Crider shares her personal experience with financial control, divorce, and learning to trust herself with money again.
Financial abuse isn't always obvious. It can look like controlling your spending, demanding explanations for purchases, restricting access to accounts, creating fear around financial conversations, or slowly convincing you that you're incapable of making good financial decisions.
Jax explains how financial control can affect even successful, educated, high-achieving women—and why earning your own money doesn't always mean you're financially free.
If you're going through divorce, recovering from a financially controlling relationship, or simply trying to understand your finances with more confidence, this episode offers practical perspective on rebuilding financial independence one question, one document, and one decision at a time.
