Ep. 155: Letting Go of the Pain: Divorce & Self-Discovery

What happens when the life you’ve built starts to unravel, and you’re left questioning everything you thought you knew about yourself? Today, we dive into the raw, real impact of divorce, especially for men—how it challenges your identity, your role, and everything you once thought was secure.

In this episode, I’m joined by Gary, a listener of the podcast, who is coming on the show to share his story of getting through one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging seasons of his life. Listen in as we talk openly about hidden trauma, the weight of holding it all in, and how to finally shift from just surviving to truly healing.

What You’ll Learn:

The pain of losing identity, status, and reputation.
Why success doesn’t equal self-worth.
The concept of the “second mountain” and rebuilding purpose.
How to release pain from divorce, childhood, and beyond.
Lessons in ego, self-awareness, and emotional healing.
Tools to get unstuck.
