Should you keep the house during divorce or could holding onto it actually hold you back?
For many women, the family home represents stability, memories, and security. But during divorce, that emotional attachment can make it harder to evaluate whether keeping the house truly supports the life you want to build next. In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick is joined by Amy Slate, founder of The Breakup Broker, to talk through the emotional, financial, and practical realities of making housing decisions during divorce.
Drawing from her own experience untangling multiple real estate assets during divorce, Amy explains why the question isn’t simply, “Can I keep the house?” but rather, “Does this house still fit the life I’m creating?” Together, Heather and Amy discuss buyouts, mortgage assumptions, nesting arrangements, home inspections, long-term affordability, and the hidden costs women often overlook when deciding whether to stay or sell.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
Separate emotional attachment from the financial realities of keeping the family home
Evaluate whether you can comfortably afford the house long term and not just qualify for it
Gather the right information early so you can make housing decisions from a position of clarity

If you’re facing one of the biggest financial decisions of your divorce, play this episode to learn how to look beyond the memories tied to the house and make a thoughtful choice that protects your financial security, your peace of mind, and the future you’re building.

Would you feel financially secure if your relationship ended tomorrow or would you suddenly discover how much of your independence you had given up?
The stay-at-home girlfriend and “soft life” trends can make financial dependence look luxurious: beautiful homes, travel, shopping, self-care, and freedom from the traditional nine-to-five. But behind that lifestyle can be a very different reality. When you give up your own income, career momentum, access to money, or understanding of the household finances, you may also be giving up important choices about your future.
In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick explores the story of a former stay-at-home girlfriend who experienced the consequences of becoming completely financially dependent on her partner. Heather explains why financial independence matters whether you are married, engaged, or living with someone and why protecting yourself financially does not mean expecting your relationship to fail.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How financial dependence can affect your power, confidence, and ability to make choices within a relationship.
Why unmarried stay-at-home partners may have fewer legal and financial protections than they realize.
Practical ways to strengthen your financial independence through personal savings, financial awareness, professional skills, and independent legal or financial guidance.

Play this episode to learn how to enjoy a supportive relationship without sacrificing the financial independence, knowledge, and choices that help protect your future.

Who are you when you’re no longer someone’s wife?
Divorce can shake more than your relationship status—it can impact your confidence, identity, body image, and even your belief that you’ll ever feel attractive or desirable again. In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick is joined by confidence therapist, authentic dating strategist, and image expert Kimmy Seltzer to explore how women can reconnect with themselves and rebuild confidence after divorce.
Kimmy shares her own “red dress moment” and explains why confidence isn’t something you simply find—it’s something you build through action. You’ll hear how changing the way you dress, carry yourself, socialize, and approach dating can help create powerful internal shifts. She also breaks down her Charisma Quotient framework of style intelligence, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence, and explains why dating after divorce can be less about finding “the one” and more about rediscovering who you are.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
Rebuild confidence by taking small, intentional actions outside your comfort zone
Rediscover your identity and create a new version of yourself after divorce
Approach dating with curiosity and confidence instead of pressure
Recognize the common mistakes women make when dating after a long-term marriage

If divorce has left you wondering who you are, whether you’re ready to date again, or how to feel confident being seen, play this episode to discover practical ways to reconnect with yourself and step into your next chapter with greater confidence and authenticity.
