Description

🎉 Welcome to the Divorce Devil Podcast with David & Rachel! It’s time for our annual Divorce-ivus episode—a holiday spin on Festivus, where we air our biggest post-divorce grievances. Whether you’re newly single or years out, this one’s for everyone navigating the holidays after 40 and finding themselves wishing for more peace (and maybe less drama).

From using kids as emotional pawns, to custody chaos, friend betrayals, awkward family events, and even “bad sex after divorce” (yep, we go there!)—no topic is off-limits. We talk about the real struggles, the hilarious fails, and the “WTF” moments that come with divorced holidays. Expect laughter, honesty, and practical tips for surviving (and thriving) during the toughest season.

💡 What’s in this episode?

How to air your own grievances (and why it helps!)
Setting boundaries with exes, family, and even friends
Not letting nostalgia or “one-uppers” ruin your joy
Creative ways to celebrate when you don’t have your kids
Owning your story and moving forward with humor

You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. We’ve been there, and we’re here to help you find your light and maybe even laugh at the chaos.

👉 What’s YOUR biggest post-divorce holiday grievance? Drop it in the comments! Have ideas for future episodes, or just want to vent? We’re all ears. Like, subscribe, and join our community of badass survivors!

If you need to make an informed decision about your divorce recovery and need some type of direction - then this podcast is for you. We do not advocate being professionals but our various life experiences do count for something. After experiencing the shitstorm of recovery, we consider ourselves divorce recovery mentors or facilitators in our efforts to help others.
