Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®
Expert guidance for women navigating the financial decisions of divorce.
Divorce is more than a legal process. It is a financial turning point.
At BrainstormingWomen, Jessica M. Garcia, MBA, CDFA®, works with women who want to understand the financial impact of divorce before decisions are made and agreements are signed. Through a thoughtful, structured process, clients gain clarity around income, expenses, assets, retirement, settlement options, and the long-term realities that often go overlooked during divorce. This work is designed for women who are not looking for quick answers or generic advice, they are looking for a deeper understanding of what their financial future may truly require.
It rarely begins in a lawyer’s office.
More often, it begins in the quiet moments — when the house is still, but your thoughts are not.
Questions begin to surface:
What will my life look like after this?
Will I be financially okay?
What decisions am I being asked to make?
How do I know what is fair?
Where do I even begin?
These are not small questions.
They are the decisions that shape what comes next.
Divorce Is More Than Legal — It’s Financial
Many women enter divorce without fully understanding the long-term financial impact of the decisions ahead.
Yet the choices made during this time may affect:
your home,
your retirement,
your future income,
your lifestyle,
and the financial stability of the next chapter of your life.
Some decisions are difficult — and sometimes impossible — to reverse later.
That is why financial clarity matters before agreements are finalized.
You’re Not Behind — You’re Being Thoughtful
Many intelligent, capable women arrive here feeling uncertain about the financial side of divorce.
Not because they were irresponsible. Not because they failed.
But because financial responsibility was often shared across a marriage in ways that made complete visibility unnecessary at the time. Now, you are being asked to make significant financial decisions in unfamiliar territory.
It is natural to wonder:
Should I wait?
Is it too early to get help?
Is this worth the investment right now?
You are not behind. You are paying attention. And that changes everything.
Clarity Changes How You Move Forward
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
What you need is:
a clearer understanding of what exists financially,
a structured way to think through your options,
and the ability to evaluate how decisions may affect your future.
With the right financial guidance, it becomes possible to:
understand your choices before committing,
evaluate outcomes more thoughtfully,
reduce costly assumptions,
and move forward with greater steadiness and confidence.
This is where financial clarity becomes the difference.
Begin Thoughtfully
If these thoughts have been quietly sitting with you, this is not a sign you are falling behind.
It is a sign you care deeply about what comes next. And that is exactly where this work begins.
A private starting point
A focused, one-hour financial conversation designed to help you think clearly about what matters most right now.
You may come with specific questions.
Or simply the need to make sense of what you’ve been hearing.
This is where many women begin.
A financial direction session when you need a place to begin.
For women at the very beginning of the process who need a structured space to think through what comes next.
A morning working session designed to bring clarity and direction—without the depth of a full engagement.
A structured, multi-week engagement when you need the space to understand.
Instead of trying to figure everything out in a single session or a full day, we move deliberately—organizing your financial picture, exploring what different paths may look like, and allowing space for clarity to build.
A private, immersive financial experience designed for when you're ready to work through this.
For women who are ready to move forward with decisions and want a dedicated space to think, analyze, and work through their financial future.
A full day designed to move you forward with confidence.
