In this special year-in-review episode, Dale and Chris walk back through the full journey of Men’s Divorce Recovery in 2025 — beginning with the early uncertainty and fear that often mark the start of divorce and ending with hope, healing, and generosity.Together, they revisit key conversations on faith under pressure, emotional pain and deep sadness, redefining what a “win” really looks like, navigating anger and lingering love, blended families, high-stress marriages, and finding peace during the holidays. Drawing from every episode released this year, Chris and Dale reflect on the lessons learned, the patterns they observed in men walking through divorce, and the spiritual truths that sustained them.This episode is both a recap and a reminder: healing is not linear, you are not alone, and real restoration begins by remaining rooted in the enduring love of Christ.

Have you ever noticed how the quiet moments hit hardest after divorce? When the kids go to their dad's house or when night falls and you're left alone with your thoughts, your mind can start spinning with memories, logistics, and the weight of your new reality. The Slow Body Swivel practice introduced in this episode offers a gentle alternative to the distractions we typically reach for like social media doom scrolling, checking out, or having that extra glass of wine. This powerful grounding technique helps create capacity in your nervous system to handle challenges without feeling overwhelmed. Creating nervous system capacity isn't about eliminating negative emotions or always being in perfect alignment. It's about developing the ability to handle life's challenges during divorce and beyond without feeling incapable. Through regular practice, you can build this capacity, allowing yourself to stay present with your emotions rather than getting lost in rumination or looking for that easy escape. To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.
