What do we really lose when love ends? It’s not just the person. It’s your identity. Your purpose. Your future. Even your grocery list.

In this brutally honest episode of UnYoked, Todd Turner and author Marcus Ferris unpack the hidden grief that hits after a breakup or divorce. From shared memories and meaning, to purpose and neededness, this is the conversation most people wish they had years ago.

In this episode:

• Why grieving a breakup is more than emotional pain
• The lost virtue domain—and why Christian men especially feel it
• How to rebuild when the shared goals, friends, and rhythms vanish
• The danger of dating too soon (and what to do instead)
• Why men and women numb differently—and how to fight the real monster

If you’re single, divorced, or still reeling from the quiet fallout of a breakup, this episode is your mirror, your guide, and maybe even your elixir.

🟡 UnYoked is a podcast for Christian singles, empty nesters, and anyone rebuilding after loss.

UnYoked - The Post Divorce Podcast: Navigating your divorce and recovery with grace.

Divorce and the new single life is hard but it is even more complex when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make navigating the decisions and ripple effects of divorce any easier. Christian marriage and divorce advice runs rampant yet often conflicts with the realities of pain, abuse, loneliness, and the real world.

God has a lot more to say than, “I hate divorce.” God gives a standard and then graciously restores and renews people even when His standard isn't met.

Those of us who are navigating the life changing event of unYoking from a spouse and/or uprooting a family have to journey through some dark, lonely, and confusing places. Our issues aren't frequently tackled from the pulpit and the advice we receive isn't always relevant to our current place.

The UnYoked podcast is just for you. A safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps of navigating a divorce, singleness, and the future. A place where we live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world with broken people and broken relationships. Buckle up... remove the mask.. and let's get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as a Christian.

You deleted the apps. Then downloaded them again.

You say you’re waiting on God… but also hoping He sends someone cute. 😅
If dating after divorce feels like a tug-of-war between loneliness and hope—you’re not alone.

In this bold, honest, and hilariously relatable episode, Todd Turner is joined by Texas realtor Denise Milliken to unpack:

• Why “getting back out there” might not mean you’re ready
• The actual difference between being lonely and being open
• Mistakes we make when dating too soon
• And why Christian women need more than just good advice—they need truth, grace, and courage

💔 This one’s raw. Real. And full of the stuff no one says out loud.

You can’t build something healthy on top of something broken.

But after divorce, that’s exactly what most of us try to do.
We date before we’ve healed.
We force peace before we’ve processed pain.
And we expect a fresh start—without doing the hard work of letting go.

In this episode of the UnYoked Podcast, Todd Turner sits down with Don to talk about what it really takes to get emotionally, spiritually, and relationally healthy after the divorce papers are signed.

Together they unpack:

• Why emotional health is the first step to peace—not a new relationship
• The dangers of rushing into dating or rebuilding before you're ready
• How to stop bleeding into your next chapter
• What real closure looks like when your ex has moved on
• How God uses seasons of solitude to reshape your identity

This conversation is raw, honest, and for anyone who's trying to heal while still hurting.

Dawn’s Bio:

Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.

She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.

She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you cra
