Where the almost 200 episodes of wisdom, humor, and the occasional snow day rant converge into the perfect storm of post-marital hilarity. Picture this: David, the voice of reason, with a penchant for turning life's lemons into a comedy sketch, and Rachel, the fierce advocate of self-love, who can find joy even in a Colorado snowstorm - which is actually going on at this moment.  Together, they tackle the chaos of exes, in-laws, and personal growth with the precision of a surgeon and the heart of a stand-up comic. Prepare to laugh, cry, and find your inner peace as they guide you through the maze of divorce recovery, one episode at a time. So grab your headphones and let David and Rachel remind you that even in the messiest of breakups, there's always room for a good laugh and a fresh start. 10 Important Points: Set boundaries, don’t build walls. Let go of toxic relationships. Self-care is a priority, not a luxury. Your peace is worth the fight. Family can be toxic too. Listen to your inner voice. Object permanence aids emotional detachment. You’re responsible for your happiness. Reject unwanted negativity. Embrace personal growth and healing. These points encapsulate the essence of the discussion, encouraging listeners to focus on personal well-being, setting healthy boundaries, and finding humor and strength in their journey of recovery.

Social media during divorce recovery.  Rachel says be smart and I say don’t do it - take a break.  It never turns out well, most of the time.  So many people have an opinion on social media and divorce.  I have heard of instances where social media can be used in a divorce proceeding.  So, buyer beware!  Discussions of clearing the trash, celebrity divorce posts, social media has a lot of negativity, rudeness and social media and call a friend all are a part of the podcast.  You make the decision - what will you feel comfortable with?  The ball is in your court.  Topics of: Tinky Winky No regrets Worst roommate ever People want you to fail Don Henley - Dirty Laundry People are bold People do better Keep some of you prayers and thought for yourself No birthday party, no kid’s wedding and not coming to my funeral then delete! They want you to ask them! Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Well, here it is again.  The craziness of the Divorce Devil Podcast.  We take off with starting with the notion of no control in your divorce or divorce recovery to road construction.  Never a dull moment.  You’ll be hard pressed to find a more ‘unique’ divorce recovery podcast.  Topics of round-a-bouts, loss of control is like chaos, you get a pony, Tootsie Roll, and Narnia goat.  Strap in because this show goes fast and all over the place.  Take a listen Discussions of: Someone has to be an adult Trying to get back to some normalcy Control is an overrated word Rebound It’s ok to say no You gotta be cruel to be kind You can’t control what happens at the ex’s house Don’t talk about you ex on the first date Hosted by Ausha.

Well, it is another interesting podcast by the two of us.  Owning your sh*t encompasses so much.  We mainly came from the way of it’s ok not to be ok.  You are going through some epic sh*t for the first time and how you react at first might not be the best reaction, but you learn over time and adjust accordingly.  Our other point is everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn’t need to remain friends with you.  If it is a struggle to keep some friends, maybe they need to go.  Only you know for sure - and can act accordingly.  Just two parts to owning your sh*t! Topics discussed: It’s ok to say  Object permanence Time to cleanse your friend list You want everybody to like you Life is dynamic Live by hope Make it simple Baby steps Poke the bear? I’m ok being the villain in your story Am I watching Dexter? Friends vs family No f*cks button Helping people you don’t know Delete, delete Do better We always digress Talking Heads Call that friends that is no matter what Hosted by Ausha.

Well, it happened again.  We went off the rails again during a podcast.  We realize the initial pain of divorce is sometimes so overwhelming and intense.  Our own experiences play a part here.  All we can do is present what we went through and hopefully some of you can identify with it and realize some of your thoughts, actions and/or feelings are completely normal.  Discussions of taste the rainbow, joy and pain, the red flags, get help when you need it, emotional support person, the pain is the start of a new beginning, and don’t involve the kids all play a part of this episode.  We firmly that even when discussing divorce recovery you have to laugh a bit and we took it to heart in this episode.  Enjoy!
