Welcome to the Divorce Devil Podcast! 🎙️ Hosted by us, David and Rachel, we dive deep into the real challenges people over 40 face after divorce, and why true healing is the only way forward. Are you struggling to move on after divorce? You’re not alone. Today, we tackle a crucial topic: What happens if you never recover from your divorce? If you’re stuck, numb, or wondering why life keeps throwing the same old curveballs, this episode is for you. We talk about the hidden dangers that come when men over 40 skip the hard work of healing. Why Is Healing So Important? Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage—it’s a trauma that can quietly control every decision you make afterwards. Left unchecked, unhealed wounds can sabotage new relationships, friendships, careers, and even your health. We share real stories about how triggers—songs, places, even random memories—can knock you off balance when you least expect it. What Happens If You Don’t Heal? You might find yourself repeating old patterns, dragging past pain into every new relationship or friendship. Trust issues? Yep, they’ll follow you—making you cynical, closed-off, and always waiting for the next red flag. Financial fears, anxiety, and decision fatigue can creep in, affecting your confidence and independence. You may start isolating yourself, building walls that keep out not just pain, but also joy, connection, and opportunity. We get brutally honest about how not healing can cause you to lose friends, sabotage new love, and even pass emotional burdens onto your kids. Rachel shares how triggers still pop up, even years later, and why forgiveness and self-awareness are crucial steps in the journey. This Is Your Wake-Up Call! If you think moving on means just ignoring the pain, think again. We break down the practical steps everyone over 40 should take—therapy, journaling, financial education, and building a new support network. Whether you’re newly divorced or years out, your future happiness depends on the work you do now. Ready to Break the Cycle? You deserve more than just survival. You deserve to thrive as the best version of yourself—for your kids, your friends, your next relationship, and most of all, for YOU. 💬 How did you know it was time to start healing?
