Lindsay Perrin is back on Dear Bianca for the third time, and this one has it all. We go deep into her journey as a surrogate for two gay dads in NYC—from the very beginning to postpartum and everything in between. She opens up about what it was like being pregnant without a partner, how it compared to her pregnancies with her two kids, and the real highs and lows she faced along the way. Of course, we couldn't skip the fun stuff: Lindsay tells me about making a Hinge profile while pregnant (yes, really), what dating was like during that time, and what she's actually looking for in a partner now. Younger women might still be her thing… but she also admits she has a thing for Kris Jenner post-surgery LOL.  And we wrap up by chatting about her 3rd annual NYC Lesbian Bar Crawl and what caused Lindsay and I had a little tiff that we hash out live on the mic. So grab your headphones, get comfy, and let's dive in.  If you love Dear Bianca, please follow, rate and review the podcast — it seriously helps the show grow.

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men's Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore. Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms. Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men's Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be. If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.

Dating after divorce for Christian single men and women is wrought with theological and emotional minefields. So before discussing dating tips for the newly divorced, let us express our simple views on what we feel the Bible teaches about divorce and remarriage. A future article will discuss this in depth. The bottom line is God hates divorce (Mal. 2:16), and desires couples to reconcile if at all possible. However, under certain circumstances where there has been unrepentant infidelity, the offended […] The post Dating After Divorce as a Christian Single appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

Most of the guys who find their way to my videos have two things in common: their relationship is falling apart… and their brain feels like a blender stuck on “purée.”Turns out, a huge number of men struggling with marriage or divorce also have undiagnosed ADHD. In this video, I break down the real signs of adult ADHD in men—no TikTok self-diagnosing nonsense—and show how it wrecks your relationships, ramps up obsession, fuels hypersexuality, and often overlaps with autism.I also talk about what you can do without burning your life down or living in a van to find inner peace. Spoiler: you're not broken. But understanding how your brain works might just save your marriage—or your sanity.

A guy books an emergency coaching call. Says his marriage is hanging by a thread. He's sleeping in the guest room. She won't talk to him. Full panic mode.Then when we finally meet? “Oh… never mind.

Men ask me all the time: “Why can't I stop thinking about her past?” You know she had a life before you… but that doesn't stop your brain from obsessing over every ex, every hookup, every “what if.”This is retroactive jealousy. And it's more common — and more damaging — than most guys realize.In this episode, I'll explain the science behind it, how it messes with your head, and what you can do to finally get some peace. This isn't about shaming you. It's about helping you understand your own mind — so you can stop sabotaging something good.

Why does it feel like the therapist is always on your case, even when your wife is the one shutting down emotionally?In this video, I explain why anxious men—like many of you—end up being the focus in therapy sessions... and it's not because the therapist is against you.

A lot of men joke about single women dying alone with 12 cats... but here's the truth: that's projection.Men are facing a loneliness crisis. We isolate ourselves, chase careers across the country, let friendships die, and pretend we're fine being “lone wolves.” Then we wake up in our 40s, 50s, and 60s and realize—we've built a resume, not a life.In this video, I break down why so many men end up disconnected, how modern culture pushes us to go it alone, and most importantly—what we can do about it.If you're tired of the silence and ready to start building real connection again, you're not alone. This is your wake-up call.

Loneliness and emotional isolation are crushing men over 40 today, stealing health, purpose, and connection. Too many are left stuck after divorce, heartbreak, or the loss of a partner, unsure how to rebuild relationships or even where to begin.In this episode, I sit down with Kavita Ajwani, one of the world's most trusted dating psychologists and human behavior specialists, to uncover what's really holding men back and how to move forward with confidence, integrity, and self-respect.This conversation will challenge the way you see dating, relationships, and connection, and give you the tools to stop letting heartbreak and emotional repression control your life.Enjoy the episode.Listen to This Episode on Your Favourite Podcast Platform:https://over40alphapodcast.com/ Subscribe and Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6LbGE6ySH5VlIQ8LosKpVG Subscribe and Listen on iTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-over-40-alpha-podcast/id1446632685 Timestamps:00:00 - Intro05:26 - Kavita's journey into helping men find love and confidence07:04 - Patterns men repeat after divorce or loss12:07 - First steps before jumping into dating again14:10 - Overcoming fear and failure in relationships19:53 - Why men are lonelier than ever22:37 - Steps to break out of isolation30:50 - Vulnerability as a strength and not a weakness38:15 - All about Kavita's program42:57 - Heartbreak, rejection, and the toll on your health48:03 - Why pride and presentation matter52:10 - The impact of smiling and dating on TV shows58:03 - Kavita's special free masterclass offer for the audienceJOIN THE BROTHERHOODIf you're over 40 and ready to reclaim your strength, confidence, and purpose, this is your tribe.✅ Built for men 40+✅ Strength-based workouts + simple, flexible nutrition✅ Real coaching.

Most men carry shame. But they don't talk about it—especially when it comes to sex.They were raised to be "good boys," "nice guys," and "respectful partners"... but underneath that, many are dealing with something toxic: sexual shame. It wrecks their confidence. It kills their desire. And it silently poisons their relationships.In this video, I break down how sexual shame develops in men, how it fuels codependency and dead bedrooms, and what it takes to finally own who you are as a man—without guilt, without apology.

Dating after divorce is a minefield—and if you haven't been single since your twenties, you're stepping into a completely different world.In this video, I break down what actually happens when men re-enter the dating market after a long-term relationship. I cover the emotional aftermath of divorce, the brutal realities of modern dating apps, what women are looking for now, and how to rebuild yourself into a man who wins in today's dating world.This isn't about cheesy pickup lines or pretending to be something you're not. This is about becoming the kind of man who attracts quality women—because he's done the work.✅ What we'll cover:Why dating today is nothing like it used to beThe most common mistakes divorced men makeWhat modern women are REALLY looking forHow to flirt, vet, and build real connection againHow to avoid getting used, scammed, or heartbroken all over again

Are you over 40, newly single, and wondering if you're really ready to dive back into the dating world?

Every man has felt it—that wild rush of lust, energy, and connection in the beginning of a relationship. You can't stop thinking about her. You're having sex like teenagers. It feels like you finally “found the one.”That's the honeymoon stage… and it's biology.In this episode, I break down what's really going on inside your body (and hers) during the early phase of a relationship—dopamine, oxytocin, testosterone, all of it. But more importantly, I explain why it doesn't last… and what happens after the chemicals fade.If you're struggling in a sexless marriage or wondering where the passion went—this will make sense of everything.

In this Dear DSO, a military husband opens up about his wife emotionally and physically checking out of their marriage. After three kids, mood swings, and now being on SSRIs for anxiety, she's not the same woman he married. No sex for nine months. He does 95% of the parenting while she's glued to her phone and in nursing school. Is he being anxious… or is it time to walk?We talk about the mental health toll, the “mom bot” transformation, the impact of meds on libido, and what men in this position can realistically do. You're not alone.

A 65-year-old woman wrote in with a gut-wrenching story. After 42 years of being married to a man who never listens, never remembers their anniversary, and always puts his own priorities first, she's wondering if it's time to finally walk away.She's tried everything—even picked up The Dead Bedroom Fix hoping for one last Hail Mary. But this story? It's way too familiar. Men, if you think women don't deal with this kind of thing too, think again.Let's talk about what happens when you realize—after decades—that the person you're with isn't going to change.

In this Dear DSO submission, a man reaches out from the middle of an eight-year sexless marriage. He's passive, anxious, and paralyzed by confusion—and he's not alone. So many men fall into this trap.In this episode, I walk through his message and break down what's really going on here: the anxious attachment, the avoidant wife, the therapy cycles that go nowhere, and the desperation that leads men to stay stuck for years. I also bring up a common thread I see in my community: many of these guys are neurodivergent—autistic, ADHD, or OCD—and they bond fast and deep, which makes walking away feel impossible.If this sounds like your story, you're not crazy—but you do need help. Watch to the end to hear what this man should do next—and what you can do if you're stuck too.

Seventeen years of marriage. Three kids. Nice house. Dead bedroom for almost a decade. Then, during an argument, she looks him in the eye and says the words that'll haunt him forever: “I'm just not attracted to you anymore.”No yelling. No drama. Just a calm, matter-of-fact gut punch.This is what happens when a woman has emotionally and physically checked out — and finally wants you to get the message. In today's Dear DSO submission, I break down why this happens, what it really means, and what your options are when your wife finally says what she's been feeling for years.This one hits hard.

Why do so many women in long-term relationships cheat—and often with men who seem like total losers?In this video, I break down the science behind two popular theories about female infidelity: the Mate Switching Hypothesis and the Dual Mating Strategy. One of these is more “romantic.” The other is... well, it's the one most men fear deep down.We'll look at the latest research—including a 2024 study co-authored by Macken Murphy—and how it lines up with what I've heard from thousands of men in sexless marriages or reeling from betrayal.This is hard to hear. But if you want real answers, here they are.Join The HFM Brotherhood!

So many men ask me the same question: "How do I know when I've done enough?" They've put in the work. They've read the books. They've hit the gym, led with strength, stayed patient—and still… she avoids connection.In today's Dear DSO, Alejandro writes in with a story that I've heard far too many times. A disconnected wife. Years of emotional avoidance. A man trying to fix things alone.I break it all down—how much responsibility is really on the man… and when it's okay to say: “I've done all I can.”

A husband finds out—after 12 years of marriage and two kids—that he was never his wife's first choice. After a night of drinks and a fight, she admitted she "settled" for him and still thinks about her college ex.This is brutal. And it's more common than you think.In this video, I break down his story, talk about what's really going on in situations like this, and explain why some women end up choosing comfort over passion... until it all boils over.If you're a man trying to make sense of your relationship, sex life, or identity as a husband and father… you're not alone.

Margo and I have a long list of the things that we love about one another, but we're not going to pretend that there's a list of things that we don't like. In fact, her words are "the most unattractive thing that you do" to be exact! I had no idea that sitting accross from one another and exchanging things that we aren't necessarily a fan of was a relationship goal of mine, but here we are. Grateful that we've grown to the point where this can take place without insecurity or a desire to take personal jabs taking over. We spend most of our time celebrating one another and sharing the things that we love, so we had a little fun humbling one another for close to an hour!

What happens when your marriage ends but the rest of your life is still waiting for you to show up? In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I sit down with Valerie Simms, a divorce coach who blends financial expertise with emotional and spiritual support.

Valerie shares what most people get wrong about divorce recovery, why your friends and family may not be the best place to turn for advice, and how to start rebuilding your identity from the ground up. If you've ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “I don't even know who I am anymore,” this one's for you. We talk about the practical side of post-divorce life (hello, finances), but we also explore the deeper emotional shifts that come with letting go and starting over. It's part pep talk, part permission slip—and all grounded in real talk.   About Valerie Simms: Valerie is a passionate coach dedicated to empowering women through transformative money mindset coaching.  With a wealth of expertise, she guides her clients to achieve financial independence by shifting their perspectives from scarcity to abundance.

In this Dear DSO episode, I respond to a man who saw the signs early on—but kept going. She told him who she was from the beginning. The problem? He didn't listen.We talk about the consequences of ignoring red flags, the fantasy that keeps men trapped, and why your gut instinct is often your best guide.If you've ever thought, “I should've known better,” this one's for you.Join The HFM Brotherhood!

Today's Dear DSO submission is from a neurodivergent man—he's got ADHD, a lot of anxiety, and not much dating experience. He feels like he's defective, like he'll never figure out how to talk to women or attract them. He sent in a long list of brutally honest questions:“How do I feel confident when women have all the power?”“How do I not look needy just by showing interest?”“Do normal guys really know what they're doing?”This one hit hard, and I think a lot of men—especially autistic or ADHD guys—are going to relate.In this video, I break down where these feelings of shame come from, why experience and repetition are more powerful than any pickup advice, and how to start small and work your way up. This isn't about fake confidence. This is about getting real, falling on your face, and standing back up.

Most men don't see it coming—until their marriage is on life support.One day she's your best friend and lover… the next, she's distant, irritable, and completely checked out. You think you did something wrong. You didn't.In this video, I break down the biological and psychological changes that happen during menopause—how they affect your wife, your relationship, and what you can do about it. This is a wake-up call for every man who wants to stay married in midlife.Join The HFM Brotherhood!
