Divorce After 32 Years: Rebuilding Credit, Confidence, and Life From Scratch
About this episode
Tanya Washington shares her inspiring journey of rebuilding her life, credit, and identity after a 32-year marriage ends.
What does it actually look like to start your life over at 60 — after 32 years of marriage, after losing your identity as a wife, a first lady, and a woman who gave everything to everyone else? Tanya Washington did it, and she didn't just survive — she rebuilt from the ground up. In this episode, Tanya shares how she went from a 498 credit score to a 742, earned two associate degrees later in life, and rediscovered herself after decades of being defined by her roles. Her story is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging for any woman who has ever wondered if it's too late to start again. We cover the identity shift that hits hardest after a long marriage ends, how going back to school gave her a space to just be Tanya, the step-by-step credit journey that changed her financial life, the mindset shift that made rebuilding feel possible, and what she says to women who feel too exhausted or too far behind to even try. If you've been waiting for permission to begin again — this is it. **************************************************** Join Dr. Sev's Wealth Warriors Community for more financial discussions and insights (FREE to join)…
