Anger got you down in your divorce recovery?  Then this is the podcast for you.  My discussion with Bronwyn sheds light on the formidable perceived foe of anger.  Is it bad?  Is forgiveness mistaken for hatred?  Is there such a thing as therapeutic divorce.  Why are feelings meant to be shared?  These and lots more questions are answered in this podcast.  I have to admit, I thought going in - I was going to get a lecture of how anger was bad and you need to suppress it.  Nope!  Totally opposite!  Listen as Bronwyn really surprises me and you with her take on the manifestations of anger, why boundaries are so important, connecting with your inner child and some signs when therapy is not working.  

Bronwyn is an anger specialist and family therapist. She helps individuals and families navigate through anger and its impact on relationships. With years of experience in therapy, Bronwyn has a deep understanding of the role anger plays in our lives and how it can be channeled in a ‘more enjoyable’ way.

Challenging the notion that anger is always negative Bronwyn sees anger as a warning light, indicating that something needs fixing. Suppressing anger can lead to various mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and addiction. Bronwyn emphasizes the importance of feeling and expressing our emotions, including anger, in healthy ways. She believes that forgiveness is a choice, not an emotion, and that it requires humility and an admission of wrongdoing from the other person. Bronwyn also highlights the significance of boundaries in relationships and the need to attune to our own feelings.

Going through a divorce after the age of 40 can be an incredibly challenging and isolating experience for men. You built a life with your partner, raised children together, and established financial, social, professional and personal stability. Now, having to start over at this stage in life may seem daunting and frankly terrifying.

That’s why I created the Divorce Recovery Men Over 40 Podcast – to let you know that you are not alone. Every week, we’ll be talking openly and honestly about the struggles men face when recovering from divorce and providing support, practical guidance and reassurance that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Whether you split up last week, last year or have been rebuilding your new single life for some time, we want to help you process the grief, overcome feelings of failure, rebuild your identity and self-confidence, address health and emotional issues and plan for your future fulfillment. We’ll tackle big picture topics like finding purpose outside your marriage as well as everyday concerns like managing a suddenly too-quiet house.

My name is David and I experienced divorce firsthand in my early 50s. We wish I had a resource like this podcast to help me on our journey when I felt overwhelmed and frankly embarrassed about “failing” at marriage.  

The truth is, divorce rates for those over 40 have almost doubled in the past three decades. Going through a major life transition in midlife or later that very few can relate to is hard. I am here to tell you that you will get through this, and not just get through, but thrive. I’ll be providing the community, mindset shifts and coping strategies to empower you to create a fulfilling second chapter.   

The Divorce Recovery Men Over 40 Podcast isn’t about the legal ins and outs of divorce. It’s about real, open conversations and practical advice to help you emotionally process this loss, address self-care and prepare mentally and logistically to live your best life. I aim for this podcast to be like an ongoing support group that helps you move forward with inspiration and hope.
