Hit by a Truck: A Roadmap to Saving Money and Powering Through Divorce

Divorce—expected or unexpected—can feel like getting hit by a truck.

Like most people, divorce was not something I planned or wanted. But once I saw it barreling down the road toward me, I knew that if I didn’t stay informed and involved, the divorce would run me over and shape my future for me.

I had to protect what mattered most—my finances, my family, and my peace.

In Hit by a Truck: A Roadmap to Saving Money and Powering Through Divorce, I share the lessons I learned through my own gray divorce—divorce after fifty—along with practical tools to help you navigate yours.

This isn’t about controlling every outcome—no one truly can. It’s about understanding the process, making informed decisions, and refusing to let your divorce simply happen to you.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

• Take an active role in your divorce
• Cut costs and protect your finances
• Understand key legal terms and divorce processes
• Create a “Divorce Book” to manage information
• Prioritize what truly matters
• Avoid comparison traps and move forward

You’ll also hear from twenty people who share their own divorce experiences—offering perspective, reassurance, real-world advice, and the reminder that no one has to face divorce alone.

This book won’t answer every question you have about divorce, but it can help guide you as you create the right path—your path.

You might feel like you’ve been hit by a truck, but it doesn’t have to flatten you and leave you stranded, unable to move forward.

That’s not the end of the story.
It’s the beginning of a new one.

The road ahead may be different from the one you planned—it always is, even for those who never divorce—but it’s still yours to travel.

You are not roadkill.
