Welcome to Sawyerrs' House Lifestyle.
This website exists to offer calm, practical financial guidance for women who have experienced financial abuse or control.
There is no pressure here. No timeline. No expectation that you share your story or take action before you’re ready.
How to Use This Website
You can move through this site in whatever way feels right for you.
Some people read quietly.
Some visit once and return later.
Some focus on one section and ignore the rest.
All of those are valid.
This website is designed to be:
non-urgent
non-judgemental
supportive, not demanding
What You’ll Find Here
The site is built around Six Financial Foundations.
They reflect common experiences many women encounter after financial abuse, but they are not steps and not a checklist.
You may recognise yourself in one.
You may recognise yourself in several.
You may move back and forth between them.
That’s normal.
About the Book
The ideas on this website are explored more fully in the book associated with Sawyerrs’ House Lifestyle.
When Money Isn’t Yours is a short, reflective guide for women who have experienced financial control within relationships. It explores clarity, safety, and rebuilding trust at a steady, self-directed pace.
The website can be used with or without the book.
Support Beyond This Site
This website is informational and reflective.
It does not replace professional, legal, financial, or therapeutic support.
If you need immediate or specialist help, please consider reaching out to a trusted professional or organisation in your area.
One Last Thing
You don’t need to understand everything at once.
You don’t need to make decisions today.
You’re allowed to take this slowly.
When you’re ready, you can explore the Six Financial Foundations — or simply leave and return another time.
You are welcome here.
