She is the founder of a technology and security service company, Filly Intelligence LLC. Worden became the first person to file an accusation of a crime committed in outer space when she accused her estranged then-wife NASA astronaut Anne McClain of wrongfully accessing their bank accounts. However, those accusations were subsequently disproven and Worden was indicted by a grand jury in March 2020 on two counts of lying to federal investigators. Her trial was in spring of 2022 and she faces up to 10 years in prison.

Career
Worden worked for 13 years in the United States Air Force and Intelligence Community. She also led a team for the National Security Administration. She has served in special access programs relating to nuclear security. Worden also worked as the Director of Risk and AML at USAA Financial.

Personal life
Worden was married to NASA astronaut Anne McClain from 2014 until 2019. The couple separated in 2018 after Worden was arrested for domestic violence against McClain; the charges were dismissed at McClain's request prior to her December 2018 space flight.

In 2019, Worden accused McClain of inappropriately accessing bank accounts from outer space. This claim was the first public allegation of a crime committed in space. Worden was later charged with two counts of making false claims to federal authorities, and McClain was cleared.

Worden has a son named Briggs. She conceived the boy through in vitro fertilization, and he was carried by a surrogate. Worden and McClain shared custody of the child until their divorce.
