10 - The Harsh Reality of Divorce

"When two people start to not be on the same path, it’s death by a thousand cuts."

Opening the Door to a Hard Conversation
This episode is one of the hardest I've ever recorded. After 11 years together, my wife and I have made the decision to divorce. It’s painful, it’s messy, and it’s real. I’m not here to place blame—only to share my side of the journey and how resilience is built in the coldest moments of life.

When Paths No Longer Align
Divorce doesn’t happen overnight. It’s small cracks over time, a slow drifting apart. We fought for it, extended grace to each other, but at the end of the day, we realized we were on two very different paths. Staying together would have been forcing something that wasn’t meant to be.

Honoring the Good We Shared
T is still one of the kindest, most beautiful souls I've ever known. She showed up for my family and for me in ways I'll never forget. Our years together mattered—and nothing about our separation changes that truth.

Built for the Cold
This podcast is about being real with life’s toughest seasons. Divorce is one of the coldest. But resilience isn’t born from comfort—it’s built in the hard places. If you're walking through something similar, know you’re not alone.
