Description

Are you are over 40 struggling to find your footing after divorce? You’re not alone—and this episode of the Divorce Devil Podcast is for you. Join hosts David and Rachel as they get brutally honest about the raw, messy, and totally normal emotions people face during and after divorce.

Divorce is like a tidal wave, especially when it happens later in life. In this episode, we open up about everything we wish someone had told us when we were in the thick of it: the loneliness, the loss of old friends, the awkwardness of new beginnings, and why it’s okay to grieve—even if you were the one who left.

We talk about:

• The early days: Why it feels like your whole world is upside down, and how to survive when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

• Friendship shake-ups: Losing old friends, finding out who really has your back, and why support sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.

• The guilt and shame spiral: Feeling like you "failed," dealing with identity shifts, and learning you’re more than just someone’s ex.

• Loneliness vs. being alone: How to tell the difference, and ways to start enjoying your own company again.

• Grief triggers: Birthdays, holidays, and milestones that can hit you out of nowhere—and how to handle them without falling down the rabbit hole.

• Parenting through pain: The hardest parts of co-parenting, missing your kids, and how to take care of yourself so you can be there for them.

• Setting new boundaries: Learning who lifts you up and who drags you down, and why it’s okay to say no (but also, why you should say yes sometimes!).

• Finding hope: Yes, it gets better—even if you can’t see the rainbow yet. Baby steps, real talk, and reminders that healing is possible.
