  • Understanding Financial Abuse in Marriage & Divorce
    Mar 24 2025

    Financial abuse is one of the most dangerous—and least visible—forms of control in a relationship. In this eye-opening episode, Jody Bruns dives deep into the realities of financial abuse before, during, and after divorce. From secret credit cards to withheld income, unpaid mortgages to post-divorce sabotage, this conversation is an essential listen for anyone navigating divorce or supporting someone who is. You’ll learn the difference between marital waste and true financial abuse, how financial infidelity often begins, and what steps you can take today to protect your financial future.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Marital Waste is reckless. Financial Abuse is calculated.

    • Financial abuse doesn’t always come with yelling—it can come with silence, secrets, and strategy.

    • You don’t need to understand all the numbers—you need someone on your side who does.

    • You are not imagining it. You are not to blame. And you are not alone.
