Origin Story

I found myself completely unprepared financially, going through terrible divorce, awful situation, and finding myself with all these new found responsibilities and not a lot of financial education to back up the new responsibilities.

Powerful personal vulnerability combined with statistical insight about women's longevity. The 'never rely on anyone' declaration is highly quotable and taps into widespread anxieties about financial independence, especially among women.
