Description

I don’t know how to even start to explain this one. This podcast was so very interesting. I thought, ‘what can a self-published author contribute to a divorce recovery podcast for men over 40”? But I was quite surprised. Welcome John Leister to the mic. His challenging life has shaped his current view and zeal for experiencing life. His basic and thought-provoking advice for men divorcing or divorced over the age of 40 is very genuine. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, self-belief, and the power of creativity in healing and moving on from devastating events. With a slow start to the show, John finally exercised his Yodaesque wisdom. From discussing love as a motivator, anticipating negativity, the fact we need friends, God and faith, thinking of our lives as a quest, and looking for the light at the end of the tunnel - John gives my men over 40 some great insights for divorce recovery. We’ll have to get him back on the show. Thanks John…
