How Money Can Help You Leave an Abusive Relationship | Justine De Peralta | Afraid to Affluent, LLC

Justine De Peralta is a former classroom teacher turned Certified Financial Educator (CFEI), Money Coach, Domestic Violence Counselor & face behind @msfinancialfit on Instagram dedicated to empowering BIPOC women and dv survivors with financial literacy + confidence.

Her advocacy began in 2007, serving at a local courthouse assisting individuals facing divorce, child custody, and eviction—where financial struggles and domestic violence often emerged as key issues.

After leaving an abusive marriage and overcoming her own financial challenges, including debt, collections, and living paycheck to paycheck, Justine rebuilt her life stronger, smarter, healthier, and wealthier. Now, she helps women do the same.

She's also the author of her upcoming debut book, Girl, Jump!, is a powerful guide for women, especially BIPOC and domestic violence survivors, looking to reclaim their financial power and rebuild their lives after hardship.

Drawing from her own journey of overcoming an abusive marriage and financial struggles, Justine offers practical tools, strategies, and personal insights to help women break free from limiting beliefs and take control of their financial future. 

This book is not just about finances—it's about courage, healing, and thriving. She empowers readers to face their challenges head-on, transform their relationship with money, and embrace a healthier, wealthier, and more confident life.
