Episode 218: From Fear to Empowerment: Disrupting Divorce with Jordan Rosenberg

What does it really take to “disrupt divorce”?

In this episode, Rhonda sits down with Jordan Rosenberg, a family law attorney from the Chicago area who believes the attorney–client relationship should be a true partnership — built on open communication, trust, and collaboration.

Together, they pull back the curtain on what most attorneys wish their clients knew and how women can take a more empowered role in the process.

You’ll hear insights on:

• Why viewing your lawyer as a partner — not just a service provider — changes everything
• The power of organization (and how small clues, like a $5 savings account, can reveal much bigger financial issues)
• Why “the smartest people know when to ask for help” — and how that applies directly to divorce
• The importance of building the right team: legal, financial, and emotional support
• How to set realistic expectations — without slipping into worst-case-scenario thinking
• Why “trusting the process” doesn’t mean handing over control, but staying actively engaged

Jordan also shares one of his favorite quotes that perfectly fits this stage of life:
FEAR = Forget Everything And Run, or Face Everything And Rise.

This episode is packed with both practical tools and encouragement for anyone navigating the complexities of divorce.
