In this brutally honest and hilariously relatable episode, “What We Learned from Divorce – Gen X Dad Confessions,” we dive into the raw, unfiltered realities of life after divorce from the GenX dad perspective. From what we learned from it, the awkward dating scenes and co-parenting chaos to the quiet battles with loneliness and identity, we shed light on the struggles most men face but rarely talk about. This video is for every father navigating the emotional landmines of modern manhood, for women trying to understand what their ex or partner may be going through, and for anyone who’s ever wondered what thriving really looks like post-divorce. Subscribe for more comedic, heartfelt takes on fatherhood, relationships, mental health, and the GenX experience that’s as real as it gets.
