Written by Naomi Holmes | Apr 26, 2026 2:00:00 PM

 

This is the final episode in our three-part series where we go through end to end how to survive separation and divorce from a financial and emotional stand point.

In Episode 32 of Her Money Matters, we unpacked what to expect emotionally and financially through divorce.
In Episode 42 of Her Money Matters, we walked through property settlement and the financial decisions that come with it.

And now… this is the rebuild phase.

This is where things start to shift, and where you begin to find your footing again. This is hopefully where confidence starts to come back and for many women, where dating and repartnering enters the picture bringing both excitement and a whole new layer of financial decisions.

In this episode, Naomi and Helene talk through the emotional and practical realities of life after divorce, from rebuilding your identity and confidence, through to navigating relationships again and avoiding the money mistakes that can come with them.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Mourning the loss of a relationship, identity and family unit
  • Rebuilding confidence and stepping back into your sense of self
  • The tension between freedom and fear when making decisions alone
  • Guilt, especially around kids, and how it can influence financial choices
  • Dating again after divorce and what to expect emotionally
  • Repartnering, blended families and the realities behind the scenes
  • The financial risks of repartnering, including debt and lack of visibility
  • Practical money tips and red flags to watch when entering a new relationship

This stage of life can feel like a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and everything in between: and it’s also where some of the most important growth happens.

Take your time. Stay curious about yourself. Stay engaged with your money. And back yourself to make decisions that support the life you’re building next.
