Men’s Mental Health: Life After Divorce with Danny Wicks
This is a conversation for anyone who has ever hit a point in life where everything you thought was solid suddenly falls apart.
Danny Wicks speaks openly about navigating divorce, depression and the shock of starting again in your forties when you realise the life you built no longer fits the person you are becoming. He talks honestly about the internal collapse that happens long before anything breaks on the outside, and the slow, uncomfortable work of rebuilding yourself from the ground up.
We go into the reality of losing your identity, questioning your purpose, facing patterns you have avoided for years and trying to hold a business together while carrying a private storm. Danny’s relationship with alcohol is a big part of this story too how it became a coping mechanism, how it made everything worse and how stepping away from it changed his clarity, his habits and his mental health.
This episode will resonate with anyone navigating midlife change, burnout, loneliness, emotional reset or the quiet feeling that something in life needs to shift. It is raw, grounded and painfully relatable, but also full of hope for anyone trying to rebuild their life in a way that actually feels true.
