ABOUT THE BOOK
Ready to reclaim your freedom and financial independence?
It’s time to build a safety net and take control of your future!
In Girl, JUMP! Building Your Financial Safety Net to Leave an Abusive Relationship and Reclaim Your Freedom, the author shares her powerful journey of overcoming emotional and physical abuse, along with the challenges of financial infidelity.
Drawing from personal experience, she offers a practical step-by-step guide for women seeking to escape toxic, abusive relationships and rebuild their lives--starting with their finances.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Justine De Peralta is a Filipina-American author, Certified Financial Educator (CFEI®), Money Coach, and Domestic Violence Counselor. She helps BIPOC women and domestic violence survivors build confidence and develop the financial literacy skills needed to navigate and overcome challenging financial situations.
Justine’s commitment to serving survivors and marginalized communities began in 2007, when she supported individuals at a local courthouse facing divorce, custody battles, and eviction. Through that experience, she witnessed how financial hardship and abuse are often tightly intertwined.
Despite building a career in education, Justine transitioned to financial services after leaving a physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusive marriage. Her journey is deeply personal—she knows what it’s like to have no emergency fund, maxed-out credit cards, and debt collectors calling, but she also knows what it takes to bounce back—stronger, smarter, and more financially secure.
Today, Justine combines professional expertise with lived experience to educate, empower, and advocate for women ready to take control of their money and their lives. She believes that financial education is more than money—it’s a form of healing and liberation.
