Description

Hosted by Amy Polacko—Divorce Coach, investigative journalist (Ms. Magazine, HuffPost, The Guardian), and champion for women’s autonomy—GIRL, WAKE UP! is your unfiltered blueprint for navigating high-conflict divorce, family court, and systemic oppression without losing your peace, your money, or your mind. Long before reporting on high-profile cultural cases and systemic failures, Amy lived through them. As a mother, survivor, and two-time divorcee who fought her way to freedom, she bridges the gap between sharp legal and financial strategy and deep spiritual recovery. You don't have to choose between healing your heart and protecting your assets. You can do both. On Girl Wake Up, we dive deep into: • High-Conflict & Court Strategy: Tactical blueprints to outsmart toxic exes, protect your wealth, and proactively navigate a rigged family court system. • Cultural Commentary & Investigations: Unfiltered breakdowns of pop culture cases, domestic abuse, and the hidden patriarchal structures holding women back. • Spiritual Autonomy & Healing: Reclaiming your power, intuition, and identity so you can build a life on your own terms. Stop being systematically disadvantaged. Understand the system, protect your future, and wake up to your power.
