A newly divorced Padres fan is looking for a hot date to take to the game
What happens after the divorce papers are signed and suddenly you're sitting there thinking… what the hell do I do now?This week, Andrea sits down with Amber Lee, creator of Separation Story Time, for a hilarious, honest and surprisingly vulnerable conversation about the part of divorce nobody really prepares you for: becoming single again.Amber shares how her own divorce led her to start documenting the messy moments of starting over, eventually turning those stories into Separation Story Time and a community of people navigating divorce, dating, single parenthood and everything that comes next.Andrea and Amber get into dating apps, the divorce glow up, terrible dates, falling in love again, being naked with someone new after marriage, body insecurity, sex after divorce, dating as a single mom and the very strange experience of realizing you actually might like this new version of yourself.They also get very honest about the grief that can exist even when you know a marriage needed to end, why healing is anything but linear, and what Amber wishes someone had told her when she was sitting in the hardest part of starting over.And yes… there are dating disasters. Because obviously.In this episode:• What divorce actually feels like versus what you think it will feel like• Why dating apps feel like an endless supply of “options” that aren't really options• The divorce glow up and becoming the main character in your own life again• Falling in love after divorce• Sex and body confidence after marriage• Dating while raising a child• When to introduce someone you're dating to your kids• Staying friends with an ex• Younger men, splitting the check and post divorce thirst traps• Why starting over can eventually become something you never expectedAmber's reminder for anyone in the messy middle: your life isn't over.

Divorced dads, this one is about your kids. In a high-conflict divorce, your children live inside the conflict every day. They absorb the stress, the uncertainty, and the mixed messages, even when they don't have the words to explain what it feels like. In this episode, we hit pause on custody case strategy and talk dad-to-dad about helping kids cope with divorce with less trauma and more stability.We break down five practical parenting goals from Love and Logic and run each one through the high-conflict divorce filter. You'll learn why kids need more structure during divorce, not less, and how loving discipline can become an anchor instead of another fight. We cover authoritative parenting that stays warm and firm, how to keep boundaries calm and consistent, and how to protect yourself when you worry that normal parenting will be reframed as "too strict" in family court. We also get real about co-parenting with a high-conflict ex: the temptation to police her parenting, why most of those battles are unwinnable, and what to say when your child repeats something painful like "Mom says you never cared."Then we zoom out to what keeps you steady through a high-conflict divorce: your core values as a father. When you decide who you are before the storm hits, late-night texts and emotional ambushes stop dragging you around. We also cover loyalty binds, why badmouthing the other parent backfires on your kids, and how letting your children grieve the divorce without trying to fix their feelings builds trust. We close with simple weekly homework for divorced dads and a reminder that self-care isn't selfish. It's leadership your kids can actually see.

It's time to embark on your divorce journey with the MAGA movement's favorite writer: an extremely strange man who wants to hypnotize you. On this episode, Jared and Mike introduce you to Joshua Lisec, a 35 year old man in Ohio who has co-authored books with Trump-era stars like Jack Posobiec, Scott Adams, and Jennica Pounds (aka “@Datarepublican”) and claims to have ghostwritten hundreds more. Lisec recently announced that his wife left him and has started offering himself as a lifeline to other men experiencing their own “divorce journey.”But before they talk about the self-described “celebrity ghostwriter,” the guys examine some recent allegations that Rep. Lauren Boebert had multiple sexual encounters with staffers in her office, including same-sex relationships. Boebert has denied the claims… sort of... and one of the former staffers called them “defamatory.” But considering Boebert's past escapades, some are finding those denials hard to believe.All aboard!

Step into a raw, tender, and profoundly moving conversation with Wayne Barkus, men's empowerment facilitator, men's coach, founder of SVRN1 Menswear, and teacher of initiatory experiences dedicated to helping men transform their lives, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Wayne's work lives at the intersection of emotional mastery, relational strength, masculine initiation, and community, creating spaces where men can stop performing, reconnect with themselves, and begin becoming the men they know they are capable of being. Wayne vulnerably shares the series of dark nights that cracked him open. A marriage that had been quietly collapsing. A body screaming from decades of inflammation and self-neglect. And then the moment it all gave way. Sitting on the couch of his half-million-dollar home, surrounded by the appearance of a perfect life, he asked himself a question that changed everything: Who am I without all of this? What he found beneath the surface was not who he wanted to be. And standing on the edge of becoming a single father to a four-year-old and a one-year-old, he knew he had no choice but to discover who he could become. That descent became the beginning of a hero's journey. From joining his first men's group and witnessing what sovereign, embodied men actually looked like, to building his own men's circles from three guys in a room to forty, to holding initiatory experiences across North America, Wayne's path is a living testament to what becomes possible when a man stops toughing it out alone and steps into community. We also explore the tender story of a Good Friday parking lot, where grief cracked Wayne open in front of his daughters, and how that moment of surrender deepened their bond in ways years of holding it together never could. He also shares how his partner's own embodiment journey, her altar, her boundaries, and her becoming became the quiet permission slip that first showed him what healing could look like. We also talk about: The initiatory descent every man will face and how to navigate it Why men are incredibly sensitive and what happens when that sensitivity finally opens Isolation, shame, and the invisible epidemic of men suffering alone How feminine embodiment can become a catalyst for masculine awakening The power of one meditation session to crack open decades of emotional suppression Tracking cycles, practicing curiosity, and navigating conflict in conscious partnership Grief as one of the richest and most transformative emotions available to men The tribal practice of singing a man's song when he forgets who he is Why programs can help, but community is essential to lasting transformation Divorced fatherhood, presence, and the gift of being an imprint of love Wayne's eight-week initiation program and the cohort that continues the journey What it means to excavate before rebuilding Why men often already know who they want to become, but need the right space to remember This episode is a reminder that healing is not a destination. It is a practice, a process, and most powerfully, a shared one. Wayne's work calls men back from isolation and into the kind of community where truth can be spoken, grief can be held, and the song of who they truly are can finally be sung back to them. ABOUT WAYNE BARKUS Wayne Barkus is a Men's empowerment facilitator, founder of SVRN1 Menswear, and teacher of Initiatory experiences dedicated to helping Men transform their lives. Through men's work, coaching, community, and initiatory experiences, Wayne creates spaces for men to reconnect with their truth, deepen their relationships, and step into greater sovereignty.

Joe Swanberg married the first person he ever seriously dated. When that marriage ended, his romantic life got complicated. Messy, even. He started dating younger women, ended up in an elaborate love triangle, and completely changed his mind about whether he wanted to marry and have children again. He openly describes it as a cliché midlife crisis.Swanberg is no stranger to messy relationships. Throughout his career making television and films, his work has focused on the gray areas of relationships and their difficult-to-navigate emotional territory. So when he hit his own difficult relationship moment, he channeled it into his new film, “The Sun Never Sets.”This week on the “Modern Love” podcast, Swanberg talks about the real-life story that inspired the film, what he's learned in the process of cleaning up his own mess, and how his approach to relationships is changing.Here's how to submit a Modern Love essay.

I Am DivorcedIn this episode of Today's Biblical Alert, a simple encounter at a local dump sparks a deeper discussion about truth, responsibility, and the lasting impact of divorce. After meeting a man who openly shared both his testimony of salvation and the fact that he had been divorced, the speaker reflects on why certain life experiences leave such a profound mark on a person's story.The message explores the Christian responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not merely the subjects people are comfortable discussing. Drawing from Acts 20 and the example of the Apostle Paul, this episode challenges believers, pastors, and churches to speak clearly and lovingly about biblical truth, including difficult topics such as divorce and remarriage.As society often adopts a "need to know" mentality regarding important issues, this episode reminds listeners that God's Word provides guidance on the very matters that affect homes, children, churches, and nations. The call is simple yet urgent: declare the truth, speak it in love, and faithfully share what God says about the challenges people face every day.Key Topics:Biblical teaching on divorce and remarriageThe lasting effects of divorce on families and communitiesThe Christian's responsibility to teach the whole counsel of GodSpeaking truth with clarity, conviction, and loveThe importance of addressing difficult biblical subjectsScripture Reference: Acts 20Today's Biblical Alert encourages believers to stand firmly on God's Word and faithfully declare, "Thus saith the Lord."The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Once upon a time we were “married” to God's law—and it wasn't such a great marriage, was it? Never any peace, not for a single moment—because our own sinful desires and actions were constantly fighting with God's law. It wasn't the law's fault--- we can all see for ourselves that the commandments are good. But we are not good—not healthy, whole, and happy, the way God made us to be. We are broken people, unable to live by the law. And God knows this. So He solved it with a death—Jesus' death. Jesus took our sin, our brokenness, upon Himself, even though He Himself never did anything wrong. And then He took us, the people He loved, along with Him, all the way through His own death and resurrection—so that we could become God's own beloved children, living in freedom and joy. And not living alone! Because as Paul says, now that we have died and risen with Jesus, we are remarried—this time, not to the law which made us miserable, but to Jesus, our Savior. He is the One who gave Himself up for us, so that we could live in freedom, serving “in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.” Today we do good, not because we “have to,” but because the Holy Spirit is living inside us, making our hearts more and more like our Savior's. And we delight to make Him happy, because we love Him.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

Zach sits down with Neal and Rachel Miskell, a couple who got married in 2008, divorced, and remarried years later, and asks the question most people never get to ask a couple who made it back: what actually happened in between? Rachel is a mom of three and a marketing director for the 11th Force Support Squadron on an Air Force base. Neal had just come home from Afghanistan when their marriage started to unravel, carrying PTSD, contempt, and a habit of projecting his pain onto Rachel. The conversation is less about what broke them than about the specific, unglamorous work that put them back together.Neal traces his turning point to therapy, and to one question from his therapist that he still remembers word for word: have you ever listened to yourself talk? That's the moment he learned what congruency meant, that his thoughts, words, and actions weren't lining up, and started doing the harder work of owning his part, including a small, petty story about refusing to buy Rachel a birthday gift that he still isn't proud of. Rachel tells her side plainly: she wasn't interested in fixing anything at first. She wanted to tolerate what was happening, not repair it, and she refused to go to therapy until she'd decided for herself whether the marriage could actually be different. The shift for her didn't come from Neal's effort alone. It came the day their divorce was finalized, watching how hurt he was, and realizing she'd made a mistake.What makes the episode land is how unsentimental both of them are about the process. Neal describes the two and a half years he spent doing his own work while Rachel wasn't ready to meet him there, and the moment he finally had to be at peace with the possibility that she never would be. Rachel names her own condition plainly: therapy, together, or nothing. They talk about the R3 framework Neal built out of that period, regulated, respectful, repairable, and Reframe, the communication tool he created to help couples catch toxic patterns before they cause damage. Zach's read on the whole thing is the throughline that ties it together: people don't change until something forces them to, and the real skill isn't avoiding the blowup, it's learning how to repair after one. For anyone wondering whether a broken marriage can actually be rebuilt, or bracing for the possibility that it can't, this is a rare look at two people who did it twice.Key TakeawaysRepair matters more than perfection. Neal and Rachel are explicit that their second marriage isn't conflict-free, it's just better at recovering from conflict.Change that only happens under threat of losing the relationship isn't the finish line. The real work is learning to keep changing once the threat is gone."The pattern is the problem, not the person" reframes blame into something both partners can actually work on together.Refusing therapy isn't always avoidance. For Rachel, it was about deciding for herself whether the marriage could change before she'd risk being hurt again.Congruency, when your thoughts, words, and actions actually line up, is a specific, checkable thing, not a vague self-improvement goal.Small resentments compound. Neal's story about withholding a birthday gift shows how petty moments build into the bigger pattern that ends a marriage.Watching a partner sustain change over years, not weeks, is often what makes reconciliation possible.A shared condition, like committing to therapy together, can be the line that turns "maybe" into "yes."Guest InfoNeal Miskell is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and the founder of WEreFrame LLC, creator of Reframe, a communication tool built on the R3 framework (regulated, respectful, repairable) that helps people catch toxic communication patterns before they cause damage. He and Rachel married in 2008, divorced, and remarried after several years of individual and couples therapy. He's on the episode to walk through what his own accountability work looked like from the inside, and to talk about the tool he built out of that process.Rachel Miskell is a mom of three and a marketing director for the 11th Force Support Squadron, supporting programs for single airmen and families on an Air Force base. She's Neal's wife, and she's on the episode as a voice in her own right: the partner who refused therapy until she was ready, who needed real evidence of change before she'd risk trusting it again, and who ultimately chose to rebuild the marriage on her own terms.Website: wereframe.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if divorce wasn't really about her? That's the question Karen McMahon poses to open this episode of Journey Beyond Divorce, and the question at the center of her conversation with Geoff Laughton, a Relationship and Men's Work Coach with 33 years of experience, 300+ workshops, and thousands of clients. Geoff calls the pattern the "Masculine Dilemma," a set of unconscious traps that quietly erode men's marriages long before divorce ever becomes a possibility. He's also 44 years into his own marriage, so he's not just teaching this work, he's living it. Karen and Geoff dig into what actually drives men toward disconnection: confusion about what masculinity even means today, growing up without strong masculine models, and the gap between who a man was trained to be and who he actually is underneath the training. Geoff unpacks the real differences between masculine and feminine energy, not as stereotypes, but as wiring, and explains why so many marriages die from a thousand tiny paper cuts rather than one big blowup. One of the most useful moments in the episode is Geoff's breakdown of "MSU" (making shit up) and "MUS" (made-up shit), the stories partners tell themselves about what the other person is thinking, without ever actually asking. Karen and Geoff both push back hard on the idea that a partner should "just know" what you need, calling it a setup for failure in any relationship. The conversation also tackles the "Sir Lancelot syndrome," the nice-guy pattern of trying to rescue and fix a partner's every feeling, at the cost of a man's own needs and boundaries, and why that pattern so often ends in resentment rather than intimacy. In the back half of the episode, Geoff walks through what he calls a relationship postmortem: a brutally honest look at what worked, when things started to break down (often, he notes, right around the arrival of the first child), where a man went out of integrity with himself, and what he's committed to doing differently before jumping into the next relationship. Karen and Geoff agree this kind of self-honest inventory, done without self-blame or shame, is essential before dating again.

I was talking with one of my employees Monico the other day and something amazing happened. I won't share the details, but it was something you would call a miracle. It was a miracle. Unexplained circumstances that worked out better than I could've planned. And the only thing I can reconcile as what happened was something called Godfidence. That confidence to act as if it's already been granted by God. He made you and me. Every single idea we get is from God, so I feel it as my obligation to put action to every single idea I get. (Well, most of the good ones). Our creator made us in HIS image. He doesn't want me to fail. Most people rely on themselves saying things that aren't true like, "I'm not good enough, I can't do it, blah, blah, blah." If I still relied on myself, I'd still be in jail. Divorced. Broke. So, I ask God how I can do things. And I trust him because I know he GODs my back. He's got yours, too!

Does the Bible really make an exception for divorce, or do we think it does because it fits with our divorce-heavy culture? In this episode, I dig into what marriage was actually designed for, walk through the "exception clause" in Matthew 19:9, and unpack why the Pharisees' question to Jesus helps us understand His answers. We'll see how and why Mark and Luke don't include the "exception clause," and how a godly view of divorce doesn't allow for remarriage. The full article: Can Christians Get Divorced and Remarried?

For generations, women were taught a fairly predictable story about creating a family: find the right person, get married, and then have children. But what happens when life does not follow that sequence?In this episode, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder Cheri Bergeron about motherhood, divorce, fertility, and creating a family on your own terms.Cheri shares her personal journey from believing she needed marriage to “earn the right to motherhood” to becoming a single mother by choice. She talks openly about fertility treatment, donor conception, becoming a mother in her 40s, and grieving the traditional family story she once expected while discovering that a different path could still create the family she deeply wanted.This is a hopeful conversation about self-trust, understanding your options, and recognizing that the end of a marriage does not necessarily mean the end of your dream of motherhood.Questions We ExploreQ: What if you are divorced and still want children?A: Divorce does not necessarily close the door on motherhood. Cheri discusses several paths that may be available and why learning about your options can help you make choices that reflect what you truly want.Q: Why is understanding fertility earlier in life so important?A: Cheri explains that many women learn about reproductive timelines much later than they wish they had. Understanding fertility and available options earlier can provide more opportunity to think intentionally about future family planning.Q: Can you become a mother later in life?A: Cheri shares her own experience with fertility treatment and donor eggs, including having children in her 40s. Individual circumstances vary, making personalized medical guidance an important part of exploring fertility options.Q: How do single mothers by choice talk with their children about their origins?A: Cheri believes openness, honesty, and age-appropriate conversations can help children understand their individual family story while building trust between parent and child.Q: What if the family you create looks nothing like the one you originally imagined?A: Cheri encourages women to allow themselves to grieve the traditional story they expected while remaining open to another possibility: different does not have to mean less meaningful.About the Guest:Cheri Bergeron is a former tech executive turned bestselling author, speaker, life coach, and nonprofit founder. After a 10-year struggle with divorce and infertility involving IVF, donor conception, genetic defects and child loss, she gave birth to her children in her mid 40s. Driven by these experiences, Cheri wrote the #1 Amazon bestseller Mission: Motherhood and started Cheri's Choice to help women navigate non-traditional paths to motherhood on their own terms—with clarity, confidence, and choice.To connect with Cheri:Website: https://www.cheribergeron.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/missionmotherhoodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheribergeron/About the HostMardi Winder is a Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach who helps high-achieving individuals navigate divorce with clarity, confidence, and control.

A family court judge can reach into your family, single you out by name, and rearrange your life by dinnertime: where your child sleeps tonight, whether you're allowed to see them, whether you're even permitted to raise a concern about your spouse. Karen Winner told me that in the opening minutes of our conversation, and it's the line I keep coming back to. Winner is a journalist turned attorney and the author of Divorced from Justice: The Abuse of Women and Children by Divorce Lawyers and Judges, a book that started as a government investigation and became one of the few serious accountings of how family court actually operates in this country. Winner's path into this work began at the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, where she investigated financial abuse of women by their own divorce attorneys under commissioner Mark Green. Three women brought her their stories, including Monica Getz, the ex-wife of saxophonist Stan Getz, and Peggy Hammond, ex-wife of blues musician John Hammond Jr. Winner went on to interview roughly a hundred people inside the system, insiders included. One judge pulled her aside in an empty courtroom to whisper how the wealthy get exploited by their own lawyers. The resulting report led to New York's Statement of Client's Rights, one of the first consumer protections written specifically for divorce clients, and still law today. What struck me most was Winner's explanation of judicial discretion. Family court judges, she said, "operate without any checks and balances." They decide behind closed doors, rarely have to explain their reasoning, and face almost no outside scrutiny because the whole apparatus runs at the state level. Custody evaluations compound the problem. Courts routinely appoint psychologists to assess parents, but "there's nobody reviewing the reviewers." Their reports are often sealed from the public and, astonishingly, from the parents whose children's futures depend on them. "It's not fair," Winner said. "It's not democratic. It's Kafka." A small, favored pool of evaluators gets reused case after case, regardless of credentials, because judges default to whoever they already know. That is the same undue influence dynamic I study in destructive cults: a closed information environment where the people affected by a decision have no way to question the process that produced it. When Bandy Lee joined me on this podcast, she described family courts as functioning like "a mini cult," advancing a false narrative that protects the wrong parent while the public stays in the dark.

Chelsea smuggled a butcher knife out of her old apartment at 8 AM, drove through a school zone going 30 in a 20 with it stuffed in her boot, still high from yoga, and has decided to just leave it in the trail trash. Lindsay's Instagram algorithm is puppies and makeup. Chelsea's is full of girls making out and sex product ads. Chelsea posted her first foot photo at 2 AM with full production, lighting, lotion, angles. Lindsay is grieving physically, therapy wipes her out every Monday, and she wants to start dating like an Amish person: once a week, 9AM to 4PM only, no acknowledging each other's families until formally introduced. Chelsea took the wrong medication combination for a week and was "real real bad." The restaurant stopped scheduling Chelsea. The podcast is taking over. They're writing a book about how to get divorced with your best friend and they are not kidding.

Divorce attorney James Sexton is back for part two of his conversation with Nicole; in part one, he talked about advice for couples getting married. Today, he's giving advice for people getting divorced. Nicole and James dig into the financial habits that sabotage marriages, the creative ways people hide money before filing, and the red flags that signal a spouse might be planning an exit. Plus, James gives simple advice on what might be the most complicated part of this process: how to tell your spouse you want a divorce. James also breaks down how alimony actually works, the best argument for keeping the house, and the negotiating tactics he uses to fight for a bigger settlement. Then things get spicy: the digital footprint mistakes blowing up divorces in real time, the unofficial "a-hole tax" judges impose on bad behavior in court, and the wild story of a $20 million divorce that almost collapsed over a toaster oven.

In February 1946, thirty-four-year-old World War II veteran Jacob Rubenstein stepped off the train onto the freezing platforms of Chicago, carrying a good conduct medal on his chest and hoping his honorable service had finally cleansed him of his chaotic childhood. Instead, his return plunged him straight into a toxic family business feud. Joining forces with his brothers Sam, Earl, and Hyman at Earl Products, Jacob took charge of sales for their lucrative gray-market punchboard operation. But his volatile temper, refusal to travel to secure regional accounts, and constant screaming matches with his brothers soon pushed the partnership to its absolute breaking point, ending in a cold, transactional $14,000 cash buyout that cast Jacob out of the family fold once again.Devastated by the family rejection, Jacob drifted back onto the Chicago streets, his nerves frayed and his hair-trigger temper balanced on a razor's edge. His fierce sensitivity to anti-semitism remained completely unchanged by his years in uniform. In late 1946, a downtown street confrontation with a stranger who hurled a bigoted slur erupted into a savage daylight brawl. Jacob returned home hours later, his hands swollen and raw, and his expensive tailored suit completely drenched in blood. It was a violent warning sign that the pavement of his youth was offering nothing but reminders of his own failures, and Chicago was rapidly becoming too small for a man drowning in his own violent impulses.Jacob's escape hatch came from his closest sibling, his sister Eva Grant, who had moved to the booming, wide-open city of Dallas, Texas, to open the Singapore Supper Club. Divorced, broke, and struggling with construction delays, Eva desperately needed capital and family muscle to manage the rough-and-tumble Dallas scene. Backed by his buyout cash and additional family financing, Jacob packed his bags in late 1947 and headed south into a massive cultural shock. He entered an oil-rich city trying to project an image of clean, white, Protestant conservative sophistication—a place deeply suspicious of outsiders, especially Jewish Yankees from Chicago.To survive and thrive in the cutthroat Texas nightlife, Jacob made a drastic, identity-altering decision. On December 30, 1947, he formally petitioned a Dallas court to legally kill Jacob Rubenstein and birth a brand-new man: Jack Leon Ruby. Yet, even as he shed his skin to appease Texas prejudices, he refused to let go of his past. By choosing the middle name Leon, Jack carried a silent, lifelong tribute to his murdered Chicago union mentor, Leon Cook. Equipped with a new name, a flashy Texas suit, and a pocketful of cash, Jack Ruby was ready to conquer the Dallas night—but the volatile, quick-tempered brawler of Morgan Street was still lurking just beneath the surface.
