Finding herself with a lump sum of money and feeling unsure about how to use it for her future, Polly talks about the stress and overwhelm she felt during this time. She shares how she overcame these challenges, saying, "Educating yourself and building a strong support team is the best way forward." Polly also highlights the importance of leaning on friends and talking through the situation with them.

She reflects on the impact of moving out of the marital home on her children and how they adjusted to the changes.

Polly stresses the importance of reviewing pensions, noting that many women often lose out by not advocating for this in a settlement.

While mediation requires negotiation from both parties, Polly found it unsuccessful in her case, leading her to go through the court process instead.

Now, Polly is rebuilding her life after having had no control over the family finances during her marriage. It has been a challenge, but she shares, "for me, visually seeing the cash flow, knowing how I was going to spend my money, save my money and use my money was so beneficial." Today, Polly feels empowered, with her money secure and working for her.

She has found peace of mind, settled into a new home, and is looking forward to a bright future.
