Do you ever look in the mirror after divorce and think, “I don’t even recognize myself anymore”? Wes has been there. In this episode, he opens up about what it felt like to lose the identity he’d built as a partner, provider, and parent—and how he slowly rebuilt a new, truer version of himself.
In this conversation, Wes shares:
✓ How divorce shook his sense of identity and self-worth
✓ What it’s really like to parent through grief, guilt, and overwhelm
✓ Simple, realistic steps he took to move from survival mode to stability
✓ How he stayed emotionally present for his kids on the hardest days
✓ The mindset shifts that helped him see this season as a second chance
✓ Why asking for support is strength, not failure, for single parents
Whether you’re newly divorced, years out, or still in the “thinking about it” stage, this episode offers both validation for your pain and practical ideas to begin rebuilding your life and identity. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to take the next small step—for yourself and for your children.
