Their book, "Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances'' was released in March 2023.   Connect with Lisa:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/been_there_got_out/   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeenThereGotOut   Podcast: https://beentheregotout.buzzsprout.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeenThereGotOut   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@been_there_got_out   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/been-there-got-out/   Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Been_There_Got_Out/   Twitter (X) : https://twitter.com/beentheregotout >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   Your host is Rhonda Noordyk, CFEI, CDFA®, CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness Center   Rhonda has dedicated her career to being an advocate for women and educating them on how financial strategies can impact their personal and professional success.
