From Painful Divorce to Purpose

I know firsthand how devastating divorce can be.

After 8 years of marriage, my husband unexpectedly moved out in 1988, leaving me with substantial debt, few assets, and no clue what to do next.

As a military spouse, I found myself working three dead-end jobs just trying to keep the lights on. The financial stress was significant.

More problematic than the money struggles was losing my sense of identity. I felt very alone and had no one to talk to who understood. No one offered me guidance on divorce, finances, or rebuilding life as a single woman.

In 2022, while sharing my story with my business networking group, I was encouraged to turn my painful divorce experience into a platform to help other women facing similar challenges. This motivated me to found SHero Empowered.

Drawing from my own journey through divorce, in 2023, I launched SHero Empowered to provide the supportive and judgment-free community and resources I wished I had.

The mission of Shero Empowered is to empower women to move through divorce or widowhood by providing an uplifting community, expert guidance, and helpful resources.

We aim to help women R.I.S.E.
Reclaim their sense of self,
Inspire them to be brave,

Empower them to start the next chapter of their lives with positivity.
