Practical financial coaching and accountability for women over 40 who want to become financially organised, reduce debt, make clearer home decisions and build security on one income.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin.
You may still be going to work, looking after the family and doing what needs to be done.
But privately you may be wondering:
Can I genuinely afford to keep the house?
What should I do when the settlement money arrives?
Which debts should I deal with first?
Have I left it too late to rebuild my retirement?
Who do I need to speak to next?
Am I making a sensible decision — or reacting from fear?
Looking capable does not mean you feel financially safe.
Second Act Academy gives you somewhere to lay out the full picture, understand what needs attention and take one practical step at a time.
Support for body, confidence, money and life
Bring the accounts, debts, bills, property information and unanswered questions into one clear picture.
Get clear on the questions you need to take to your lawyer, broker, accountant, conveyancer or licensed financial adviser.
Understand what life costs now, create breathing room and establish a realistic direction for debt reduction.
Create practical priorities for savings, buffers, super engagement, protection and the next 12 months of your financial life.
Private, guided financial-rebuild coaching for women who are ready to stop carrying the whole situation in their head and start creating a clear, practical way forward.
Over 90 days we work through the financial picture, cash flow, debt, home readiness, professional preparation, future priorities and the actions that keep getting pushed aside.
This is not a self-directed course. It is guided support, organisation and accountability around your real life.
I created Second Act Academy because I know what it is like when the relationship ends but the financial, family and emotional realities keep unfolding.
I have lived through divorce and two property separations myself. Professionally, I bring 10 years of family-law experience and a Diploma in Law, more than 15 years of experience in financial planning, and financial coaching work focused on debt reduction, money organisation, first-home preparation, retirement and building financial security.
I have also spent recent years coaching women through significant money and life transitions and am completing specialist divorce-recovery coaching training.
I know how easy it is to look capable while privately wondering whether you are making the right decisions.
My role is not to replace your lawyer, accountant, mortgage broker or licensed financial adviser.
My role is to help you get organised, understand what matters, prepare the right questions, follow through and rebuild confidence in your own financial decisions.
How it works

Book a Financial Clarity & Safety Review. In one focused session we identify where you stand, what needs attention first, what information is missing and which matters need specialist advice.
