Moneypenny Minute: Your Finance Moment
October 31, 2025Rebuilding Confidence and Control: Lessons from Mel Robbins
Divorce marks more than just the end of a chapter, it’s a complete rewrite of your story. Alongside the emotional toll, it often brings an overwhelming financial transition: untangling shared assets, reevaluating goals, and redefining what independence looks like. In these moments, confidence can waver, and clarity can feel out of reach.
Author, podcast host, and former attorney Mel Robbins knows that feeling well. Before becoming one of the most respected voices in personal development, Robbins faced her own crossroads, professionally, financially, and personally. Today, she’s built a global community centered on empowerment, self-trust, and practical change. Her books, including the international bestsellers The 5 Second Rule and The High 5 Habit, have inspired millions to take ownership of their choices and move forward, even when life feels uncertain.
Mel’s message is simple but powerful: momentum starts with one small act of courage. Whether it’s getting out of bed on a hard day or taking that first step toward financial independence, the shift begins when you choose action over hesitation. She often reminds her audience,
“You can’t control how you feel. But you can always choose how you act.”
This idea resonates deeply with the work our team does at Singer Wealth Management, particularly when supporting clients through life transitions like divorce. Rebuilding your financial foundation after a separation requires more than spreadsheets and statements, it requires rebuilding trust in yourself. It’s about reclaiming control, redefining your goals, and making decisions that align with your values and the life you want to create.
Mel’s philosophy mirrors our approach: progress doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from consistent, meaningful action. At Singer Wealth Management, we empower clients to take those steps with confidence, whether it’s setting up a new investment plan, revisiting estate documents, or mapping out future goals for themselves and their families.
What stands out about Mel Robbins is her authenticity. She doesn’t position herself as someone with all the answers, but as someone who’s been there, who’s navigated fear, failure, and self-doubt and turned them into fuel for growth. Her work reminds us that confidence isn’t something you have, it’s something you build through everyday choices.
We see financial planning through that same lens. Every planning session, every conversation, and every decision becomes a small act of empowerment, part of a larger journey toward peace of mind and renewed purpose. For clients rebuilding after divorce, that journey isn’t just about financial stability; it’s about rediscovering the strength to define what comes next.
Mel Robbins’ work has touched us and millions across the world, but her impact is deeply personal. She champions community, connection, and courage, values that we share and strive to embody every day. Because at the heart of financial planning is the same truth she teaches: the most powerful change happens when you decide you’re ready to start again.
We’re here to help you take that next step, with clarity, confidence, and care. If you’re rebuilding after a major life change, let’s start a conversation about how to turn this transition into a foundation for growth.
