Welcome back to the Divorce Devil Podcast! 😈 If you’re divorced over 40 struggling with co-parenting, you're not alone. I'm David, with Rachel and we're diving into the messy, complicated world of co-parenting. We're tired of sugar-coating it. This is real life, real challenges, and real solutions.

In this episode, we're talking about our top 5 co-parenting tips – both from my "non-cordial shit show" perspective 💩 and Rachel's more "love and light" approach ✨. No matter what your co-parenting style is, there are strategies that can make your life easier (and less stressful for your kids).

We're tackling:

• Unrealistic Expectations: 🤦‍♂️ Why you thought you could still be friends with your ex (and why you probably can't).

• Setting Boundaries (and Sticking to Them!): 🚧 No more "nice parent" bullshit. Rules are rules.

• The "Holiday Harmony" Myth: 🎄 How to survive Christmas, birthdays, and every other special occasion without losing your damn mind.

• The Ping Pong Effect: 🏓 Why inconsistent rules between households are messing with your kids.

• Taking the Personal Hurt Out of It: ❤️ Loving your kids more than you hate your ex (even when it's REALLY hard).

• Communicating Like an Adult (Even When You Don't Want To): 🗣️ Using apps, texting strategically, and biting your tongue when necessary.

• Recognizing What You Can and Cannot Control: 🧘‍♂️ Focus on yourself, your kids, and your own household. Let go of the rest.

• Embracing Flexibilities 🤸‍♂️ Learn how to compromise and bend so your kids can enjoy their time.

We get it. Co-parenting is a grind. It's frustrating, it's exhausting, and it can feel like a never-ending battle. But it's also an opportunity to put your kids first, create a stable environment, and show them what it means to be a good human being.

Why Do Old Memories Hit So Hard After Divorce? 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.

Rachel and David Share Real Talk & Real Solutions Rachel’s journey was more amicable, while David’s was all about boundaries and compartmentalizing. Together, they offer two unique perspectives on how men process divorce memories differently than women.

Key Takeaways:

• Why men and women process divorce memories differently

•

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.

•
