Ep. 164: Steady in the Storm: Divorce, Fatherhood & Financial Pressure
What does it look like to stay steady when everything around you is uncertain? As a stepfather and solo parent juggling multiple responsibilities, my guest today opens up about what it really means to show up with consistency—even when you’re stretched thin emotionally and financially.
Listen in as David and I break down the emotional and financial weight of being the primary breadwinner, the mental resolve it takes to keep showing up for your kids, and how tools like reframing, breathwork, and tapping can help ground you when nothing feels certain.
What You’ll Learn:

- Tips for redefining communication post-separation.
- The power of relentless consistency and managing self-imposed expectations.
- Advice for overcoming the ‘internal divorce.’
- Emotional regulation tools to help ground you.
