A Man's Journey Through Divorce

What does true prosperity mean after divorce? As someone who built a career in financial planning, I had long equated prosperity with wealth and stability. But going through my divorce stripped me of that illusion and opened the door to something far more meaningful.

Listen in as I share the raw, unfiltered truths I learned about attachment, control, and the illusions we cling to when we think money equals security. I open up about how my divorce shattered the carefully constructed image of financial success I had built—both personally and professionally—and how that unraveling, painful as it was, cleared space for real wealth.

Was your relationship truly built on love, or was it held together by loyalty? This is one of those conversations that’s raw, real, and often uncomfortable, but also incredibly freeing once you start peeling back the layers of truth.

Listen in as I unpack the emotional fog, the self-judgment, and the common cycle of trying to make sense of it all, while showing you a new lens with which to view your situation. If you’ve recently been hit with the news of divorce, or you’ve been silently stuck in a marriage that no longer feels right, this episode is for you.

What happens when the life you’ve built starts to unravel, and you’re left questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself? Today, we dive into the raw, real impact of divorce, especially for men—how it challenges your identity, your role, and everything you once thought was secure.

In this episode, I'm joined by Gary, a listener of the podcast, who is coming on the show to share his story of getting through one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging seasons of his life. Listen in as we talk openly about hidden trauma, the weight of holding it all in, and how to finally shift from just surviving to truly healing.

How do you rebuild your life and family after divorce when you’re still healing yourself? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and fellow coach, Ed Robinson, to tackle that question and more. You may know Ed as a seasoned executive and leadership coach, but today, he’s joining us not to talk about performance or leadership, but to share his personal story of divorce and healing.

Listen in as we talk about the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, parenting through pain, and finding purpose again on the other side. You’ll hear Ed speak with raw vulnerability about solitude, self-reflection, and eventually, rediscovering his worth.

Divorce can leave lasting legal, mental, and emotional scars that are tough to heal from. The key to recovery, however, is learning to let go. Though it may be easier said than done, letting go is essential for redirecting your energy, finances, and time toward building a brighter future for yourself and your family.

Listen in to hear why we find it difficult to let go, as well as how resistance is delaying your healing. I also discuss the role of ‘faith’ in the 5F model and how to navigate unexpected twists in your divorce journey. You'll come away with practical steps to help you start letting go and healing from divorce.

Divorce doesn’t have to be a war zone.

In this episode, I sit down with three top professionals in the collaborative divorce field—Suzy Eckstein (family law attorney), Natalie Goldberg (divorce coach & child specialist), and Margie Hofberg (mortgage expert)—to break down how collaborative law offers a healthier, more solution-focused approach to divorce.

Listen in as we discuss how this method fosters better co-parenting, financial clarity, and long-term stability for families.

You'll learn the benefits of this approach, why having a well-structured divorce agreement is crucial, and how the collaborative process can help even the most contentious divorces.

Divorce brings tough financial decisions, and one of the biggest is what to do with your home. Should you keep it, sell it, or refinance? And how do you sort through mortgage options while balancing credit, support payments, and financial stability?

In this episode, I sit down with Amy Bell, Certified Divorce Lending Professional and  Mortgage Planning Specialist, to break down what you need to know about housing transitions during divorce. Listen in to learn how child support and alimony can affect mortgage approval, how to avoid common mistakes when it comes to credit, and more.

What’s the hardest part of divorce? In this episode, I explore the deeper, often overlooked reasons that divorce can feel so challenging. Beyond the legal battles and financial worries, there are three layers of divorce that impact us: divorcing the spouse, divorcing the shared dreams and possessions, and divorcing the identity we've built within the marriage.

Listen in as I break down how each layer affects our emotional state, as well as how they create an undercurrent of fear, uncertainty, and attachment that can make the divorce process feel overwhelming. You'll hear what you can do to stay strong as you confront these challenges and Stoic principles that can help as you navigate divorce.

Divorce is complicated enough on its own, but when children with special needs are involved, the complexity of co-parenting and planning for the future is even greater. You can’t afford to just “get it over with”—you need a plan that works not just for today, but for years down the road.

In this episode, I sit down with Erik Feig, founder of Feig Mediation Group, to talk about how mediation can help families transition smoothly while prioritizing the unique needs of their children. Listen in to learn what it takes to tackle decisions that can feel overwhelming, how to create a solid co-parenting plan, and what you can do to manage stress along the way.

Divorce can be one of the most trying times in a person's life, especially when it involves children and the complexities of custody arrangements. It's a time marked by emotional turmoil, financial strain, and the uncertainty of the future. So how do we manage all of that in a healthy way?

In this episode, you'll get to sit in on a live coaching session with my anonymous guest, "Ivan," as I help him manage his anxiety and worries around preparing for his final custody hearing. Listen in as we work through his fears, discuss strategies to stay centered, and use mindset techniques to help him show up as his best self in court.
