187. From Suddenly Divorced to Financially Empowered with Kathleen Judge

Hey friends, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re in a season of transition—especially navigating life after divorce—today’s episode is going to speak right to your heart and your future. We're talking about something that so many of us wrestle with in this journey: money—how to manage it, how to feel confident with it, and how to rebuild your financial life when everything has changed. Joining me today is someone I deeply admire—Kathleen Judge. Kathleen knows what it’s like to have the rug pulled out from under her. After quitting her corporate career to stay home and raise her children, she found herself suddenly and unexpectedly divorced in her 40s. Overnight, she became a single parent, solely responsible for her children’s well-being and their financial future. Instead of staying stuck in fear, Kathleen took brave, practical steps to rebuild. She found a financial advisor she trusted, learned how to manage her own wealth, and eventually became a financial advisor herself. Now she helps others—especially those who are new to managing their own money—make smart, confident financial decisions, so they can build a future that feels secure and fulfilling. Whether you’ve always managed your money or you’re just now learning how, today’s conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and real-life strategies to help you move forward with faith and clarity. •Connect with Kathleen using the following links: linkedin.com/in/kathleen-judge1 www.edwardjones.com/kathleen-judge IG: kathleenjudgestl [e-mail] • Check out my Faith Filled Course Library.
