A Man's Journey Through Divorce

Divorce is often seen as a turbulent chapter in life, overshadowed by feelings of fear, separation, and scarcity. But what if we could rethink this transition as an opportunity for positive growth? Just as marriage begins with love, unity, and prosperity, divorce can also be guided by these powerful energies.

In this episode, I’ll share key points of a presentation I attended, where a Florida circuit court judge discussed his role and some of the limitations that he faces as he presides over a docket of cases within the family court. Listen in to learn how to bring positive energy into divorce, as well as how collaborative divorce can remove the adversarial approach of the traditional legal battle.

Many people cling to their legal entitlements during divorce, seeing them as non-negotiable rights. However, as negotiation expert Derrick Chevalier reveals in today’s episode, this mindset can leave both parties worse off. Through his work with the Comprehensive Negotiating Strategies Universal Framework (CNSUF), Derrick demonstrates how focusing solely on what you’re “entitled to” often results in higher costs, damaged relationships, and missed opportunities for better solutions.

Listen in as he shares tips for keeping your emotions in check during divorce proceedings, the value of viewing divorce from the child’s perspective, and more. You’ll also learn how a stay-at-home parent’s contributions—when calculated at retail value—can sometimes exceed the breadwinner’s salary, challenging traditional views of financial contributions in marriage and divorce settlements.

Divorce can strip away more than just a relationship—it can challenge your identity, self-worth, and sense of purpose. For Ben, a listener and coaching client, overcoming this painful transition led to profound personal growth, a renewed connection with his children, and a rediscovery of freedom and happiness.

Listen in as Ben reveals how moving back to his childhood home 800 miles away became a catalyst for change, as well as an important mindset shift that can make all the difference. You’ll hear what it takes to free yourself from the expectations of others, how you can find healing, and more.

Divorce can be one of life’s most painful transitions. While it's common for people to want to avoid this pain, the truth is that pain itself can be the element that opens a new level of freedom, self-discovery, and prosperity.

In this episode, I explain why resisting your pain only hardens your heart and drains valuable resources, such as time, energy, health, and money. Instead, I'll show you how welcoming and flowing with the pain can help cleanse you of old, limiting beliefs and guide you toward genuine growth.

Divorce can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally drained. In this episode, Steve invites Jenna D’Annunzio, an EFT practitioner and holistic business coach, to share how the Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) can help you deal with these emotions.

Listen in as Jenna explains the science behind tapping, as well as how it impacts your body and mind. You'll learn why this technique is especially powerful during moments of emotional intensity (e.g., mediation, co-parenting conflicts, or grieving the end of your marriage) and how it can help you reclaim control and focus in turbulent times.

Life’s most challenging transitions—like divorce, career changes, or blended families—often come with overwhelming emotions and attachments. This episode explores the “detachment theory” and its role in overcoming stress and reclaiming energy for personal growth.

My guest Jay, a former client, shares his inspirational experience of enduring workplace toxicity, blending families, and building healthier relationships by focusing on internal growth and letting go of control.

Listen in to gain actionable tools like detachment exercises and emotional awareness techniques that help you redefine success and deepen connections with those you love.

Divorce can be difficult, but the energy you bring to it can significantly impact your healing, co-parenting, and future. This episode tackles the "fault trap"—the common tendency to blame an ex, which ultimately hinders your own recovery.

Discover how to break free from this cycle using practical tools and strategies, including reflective exercises and role-playing, to foster a healthier transition for yourself, your ex, and especially your children.

After divorce, many men find themselves caught between competing pressures: societal expectations pushing them to "get back out there," internal doubts about their readiness, and uncertainty about dealing with a dating landscape that's radically changed. In this episode, I'm joined by certified sexologist Kevin Anthony to talk about how the approach back to intimacy isn't just about physical connection; it's about healing, self-discovery, and learning to be vulnerable again.

Tune in as Kevin breaks down the key steps to rebuilding your intimacy, why healing takes time, and how to know when you’re truly ready—regardless of when society says you should be. This episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to take back your power to approach dating and sex from a place of strength and confidence.

When facing divorce, Nick found himself overwhelmed—juggling full-time parenting, a demanding career, and an impending custody transition that would reduce his time with his children to just 20%. However, through his work with me, Nick discovered that divorce isn't just about surviving the logistics; it's about fundamentally reconnecting with yourself.

His story illustrates how the principles of stoicism—controlling what you can control, maintaining the right perception, and being your highest self—can guide you through divorce's darkest moments. Listen in to learn how to manage both physical and mental wellness during a divorce, as well as what it means to work your divorce from the inside-out, rather than outside-in.
