Divorce often forces difficult financial decisions — including whether to sell your home or liquidate assets to reach a settlement.

In this episode of The Divorce Circle Podcast, Sabeena speaks with Jenn DiSpirito from HomeEquity Bank about how the CHIP Reverse Mortgage works and when it may be a practical financial tool during or after divorce.

They discuss:

• Qualification requirements (including age and home ownership)

• How reverse mortgages differ from traditional loans or HELOCs

• Whether you retain ownership of your home

• How accessing home equity can help avoid selling investments or property

• Why reverse mortgages are not just for retirees

They also address common misconceptions — including the myth that a reverse mortgage “takes away” your equity — and explain how repayment works.

If you’re approaching 55 and navigating divorce, this conversation offers practical, grounded insight into one possible strategy for maintaining stability without monthly payments.

Divorce doesn’t end when the paperwork is signed.

In this episode of The Divorce Circle Podcast, Sabeena sits down with Divorce and Empowerment Coach Vanessa Gladden to explore what rebuilding actually looks like after divorce — especially for women who find themselves over-functioning, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of who they are now.

They discuss:

• When someone may need a divorce coach (even after the divorce is finalized)

• Letting go of emotional baggage and resentment

• Burnout from “holding it all together” for children

• Reconnecting with yourself through small, daily actions

• How clarity comes from consistency — not dramatic life changes

If you’re navigating life after divorce and feeling lost, stuck, or depleted, this episode offers grounded insight and practical guidance for rebuilding your confidence and direction.
