  • Resumen

  • Divorce. It’s supposed to be about ending a chapter and starting fresh, but what if it’s much more than that? What if it’s a battle you’re not prepared for, one where the system itself becomes an obstacle rather than a help? In this raw and unfiltered episode, Kelly Renee pulls back the curtain on the often-hidden realities of divorce. Drawing from her own deeply personal experience of going through two divorces, Kelly shares the emotional, financial, and legal challenges she faced—and what she wishes she had known before starting the process. From the staggering costs of attorney fees to the emotional toll of navigating a broken system, Kelly doesn’t hold back. She reveals how the legal system can exploit those at their most vulnerable, and why it’s crucial to protect yourself before you ever need to. Whether you’re happily married, considering divorce, or simply want to be prepared for life’s uncertainties, this episode is a wake-up call. Kelly offers practical advice, hard-earned wisdom, and a heartfelt plea for couples to have honest conversations about the "what ifs" before it’s too late. Let’s dive in!

What did I even pay for?"— Kelly Renee [05:27] "He cut me off from the business, stopped paying me, and left me with nothing. The system allows this to happen, and it’s devastating."— Kelly Renee [07:15] "You go to court, discuss two motions, and then wait six months to go back. It’s a rip-off, and it’s designed to drain you financially and emotionally."— Kelly Renee [07:23] "If you’re happily married, have the hard conversations now. What happens if we’re not together anymore? How do we protect each other?" — Kelly Renee [14:43] "Divorce isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about giving each person the opportunity to start over without struggling." [15:49] I spent $40,000, and I'm sure he spent $40,000—that's $80,000 we spent on attorneys to fight for nothing because, in the end, there's nothing left.”— Kelly Renee Resources and Links Fiercely Unfiltered Fiercely Unfiltered with Kelly Renee Kelly Renee Instagram Facebook Website
