If you’ve ever found yourself flooded with memories—good, bad, or bittersweet—when you revisit old vacation spots or family traditions, you’re not alone. For many men, especially over 40, these moments can trigger unexpected emotions. Maybe you’re trying to enjoy a new adventure, but your mind keeps drifting back to trips with your ex or your kids. Or perhaps you’re struggling to set boundaries and keep the past from clouding your future.

Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Divorce Devil Podcast! 👋 If you'reover 40 navigating the wild world of divorce recovery, you're in the right place. I'm David, and with me as always is my amazing co-host, Rachel, and today we are diving deep into something super important that no one talks about: The nonlinear effects of divorce recovery. The truth that comes with bumps, valleys and dips!

Forget the idea that healing is a straight line from A to Z. 🙅‍♂️ This ain't a simple recipe, folks! We're here to tell you that it’s OK to feel like you're on a rollercoaster 🎢, with moments of clarity followed by unexpected setbacks, or even just that sense of being stuck somewhere! In this episode, we get brutally honest about why that's normal.

We're unpacking:

• The Myth of Linear Healing: Why you feel like you should be "over it" already. 🙄

• Real-Life Examples: Times where we and others have faced unexpected emotional hurdles. 🤕

• The "Drunken Toddler with a Crayon" Analogy: 🖍️ Yup, healing can be that chaotic.

• Navigating Triggers: Birthdays, anniversaries, that one song... 🎶

• The "Revenge Body" Phenomenon: 💪 Is it healthy? Is it just a phase? We debate. 🥊

• Sad But Horny Spirals 😭➡️😈 And is there anything wrong with needing connection? (Plus the weighted blanket discussion.)

• Why Forgiveness Is F**king Hard: 🤬 (Especially when Barbara is involved! 😅)

• The Importance of Self-Compassion: ❤️ Treating yourself like you'd treat a friend.

• When to Seek Help: 🤝 Recognizing when you need a therapist, a doctor, or just a damn good friend.

• 
  

Whether you're feeling lost, confused, or just plain exhausted, know that you're not alone. We've been there, we've messed up, and we're still figuring it out. This podcast is for anyone who needs a dose of reality, a few laughs, and a reminder that healing is a journey, not a destination. 💯
