Description

Welcome to the Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast – the raw, unfiltered safe space for men over 40 (and anyone else who loves a little real talk during tough times)! Hosted by David, this episode dives into the emotional chaos, hard-won wisdom, and dark humor that comes with divorce recovery in midlife. 🎙️💥

If you're fresh off a breakup, knee-deep in divorce papers, or just feeling lost on the other side, you’re not alone. This episode is all about recognizing when you’re ready to heal, how to start the process, and why it’s NOT just about getting over your ex. It’s about rebuilding YOU – even if you never wanted to be in this situation! 🏗️

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

The Alpha & Omega of Divorce Recovery: When does healing really start? Is it before the ink is dry, or only after you admit your pain? David and Rachel debate denial, anger, and the messy timeline of moving on.
Co-Parenting Without Losing Your Mind: Real talk on how to stop fighting with your ex (even if you want to throw them under a bus) and focus on your kids instead. 👨‍👧‍👦
Ego, Friends Picking Sides, & The Devil on Your Shoulder: Stories about how your crew reacts to your split, why everyone has “their truth,” and how not to let your ego keep you stuck.
When is it time to stop listening to divorce podcasts? Spoiler: If we’re keeping you stuck, it’s time for a break and possibly seek professional help (but please come back when you’re ready!).
Why this podcast isn’t just for the divorced: Whether you’re married, separated, or just reeling from a loss, the lessons here apply to ALL major life transitions.

Packed with laughs, awkward confessions, and a few seriously helpful tips, this episode isn’t afraid to get real—sometimes hilariously so. ⚡

Who Should Listen?

People over 40 navigating divorce, separation, or major breakups
Anyone struggling with co-parenting or blended families
Listeners looking for honest, supportive, and slightly irreverent perspectives on healing

Hit play if you’re ready for raw advice, a little bit of sass, and the reminder that you’re not alone—even when it feels like everyone else “picked a side.”
