In this episode, Haley Brown-Woods, a financial coach and founder of Price of Avocado Toast takes us behind the scenes of how they went from living large (wine tastings on Wednesdays with $400 bottles) to arguing over a $7 box of pumpkin muffins.

What if the system meant to protect you was actually making things worse?

This episode is a raw, honest, and empowering conversation about financial abuse, legal warfare, and what it takes to take back your power.

We’re sitting down with Lisa Johnson, the co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate who has successfully represented herself through scores of court appearances. Her case, published in the Connecticut Law Journal, is being used as legal precedent. Her live testimony helped pass Jennifers’ Law in Connecticut, the third state in America to expand its legal definition of domestic violence to include “coercive control.”

Lisa’s story? Buckle up. It’s part legal thriller, part comeback story, and ALL heart. She spent 7.5 years representing herself, went to court almost 100 times, fought off a $4M lawsuit, got her case published in the Connecticut Law Journal, and even helped pass Jennifer’s Law, which expanded the legal definition of domestic violence to include coercive control.
