The WEEKEND NUGGET is a new format to the conversation of Divorce: The First Six Months that will come out every Friday till it doesn't. I will cover the details of what to expect from divorce while sharing another piece of what I did in my story. 

The goal is to source all the information our guests have shared and packaging it in a way that any human being can listen to an episode and be equipped to handle life a bit better by the end of it. There is so much that happens inside a divorce, especially within the first six months. The WEEKEND NUGGET is the cliffnotes for what to expect.

Divorce is not simple and it is certainly not predictable, but it does have a pattern.  We are looking to uncover that pattern one topic at a time.  The WEEKEND NUGGET is our stories, our struggles, our pain placed on a buffet like podcast for the person about to enter a divorce. 

In this episode Chris speaks the truth and uncovers some of the things he did that felt horrible when he did them. He shares how he went from being destructive to understanding with the ex, the step dad and himself. I could write more, but the simple truth about divorce is what this episode is all about. Get help. Don't do it alone.

Listen to this episode and share it. This is the episode where you really see and hear a man who has endured some @#$% share about his journey and how he is a better man for how he handled it.

In this episode we talk about kids, life lessons, and experience. Chris talks about therapy and the work he had to do to get to where he is today. Being a man meant letting go of the little boy and admitting where he didn’t know what to do. In the conversation he mentions how “your feet have to take you to the solution” and I believe this episode is just that. It’s the feet that take you to his solutions. 

Listen till the end, he gets really exposed and says some things you shouldn’t say, but after hearing it, you know it was the right thing to share. This episode is not for the weak or broken. No pity parties, just a whole man willing to do anything it takes to make it right for his kids. Even if it meant being...

The WEEKEND NUGGET is a new format to the conversation of Divorce: The First Six Months that will come out every Friday till it doesn't. Hopefully, if it succeeds, we will cover the details of what to expect from divorce while sharing another piece of what we did in our stories.  A one on one recap of what happened, what we did, and what we would do differently inside a specific topic.

The goal is to source all the information our guests have shared so generously in hope of packaging it in a way that any human being can listen to an episode and be more equipped to handle life a bit better by the end of it. There is so much that happens inside a divorce, especially within the first six months. Let's hope the WEEKEND NUGGET becomes the cliffnotes for what to expect.

In this episode we open with an aggressive threat and end with a loving support. Chris really cements the importance of having actionable tools as opposed to thoughts or good spirits. He talks about how he grew up and how that influences how he parents. He mentions the value in being of service and how he creates that for himself and practices it in his philosophy. 

He talks about his ex and her new man and what that was like. How the idea of what he thought to do and what he actually did, which was to admit that he didn’t know what he was doing made the biggest difference. This episode is packed with lots of insights into how he managed some very difficult times and got through them.

If you are someone who has it dark and are not sure you will get out of it, this episode provides light at the end of the tunnel and gives you tools to build with. Let someone else's journey navigate when you have no direction or the strength to drive.

In this episode we talk about tools. What Chris had and didn’t have available to him and we he could do to navigate himself away from being a victim of the drama. He talks about what acceptance is like and how investing in himself gave him strength. How details how he shaped it and in that process it provided him a loving perspective, which gave the day to day an easier way of living .  

It was noticing how powerless he was, putting one foot in front of the other, and praying for his ex to have great things that would lead him towards a solid foundation to stand on.  It was then, as a result of that stance where his road began to get better. 

In the end of the episode he shares about his little girl growing up and how that freaks him out, but he is aware that he can’t just say "no boys till your thirty"...

Say hello to Chris Northup, a father of two beautiful kids and a dual divorcee. As a friend and a colleague, Chris has represented leadership and laughter since I’ve known him. This is the first time we learn of his story and what he endured during the first marriage. I am both amazed and shocked. 

He starts off almost immediately by admitting that he wore being a victim like a badge within his first six months. Told in a manner only a man who has accepted and taken account for his actions could. Then he talks about being in his underwear when he looked at the TV and watched his ex giving birth to another man’s baby, while the new father accepted the medal of honor. Funny and heartbreaking at the very same time and also the truth. i could not make this up.

His story has cheating, alcohol, a police chief with a new baby, not his, before you reach the end of the episode. It has all this is and more. Buckle up, Chris’s story has all the makings for a movie and this is the first time he shares it for all to hear.  

As we reach the end of our time with Jenni, we touch on her foundation. How she embraced the small changes made so that she could love herself. The importance of how you behave in the good times and the bad and how those are the times that make you who you are. She expresses how grateful she is and how when things seemed like they were going wrong, it was the fastest way to get to the life she wanted. 

She talks about the healing process and how it has been rewarding and beautiful for her. And she leaves us with a great insight. “You don’t have to suffer. Is it going to be painful, probably”.
