The hardest seasons can also be the clearest mirrors. When divorce turns up the heat, it doesn’t create flaws—it reveals the skills you were never taught and now urgently need. We open up about the cracks that surfaced under stress, from shutting down emotionally to fighting without resolving, and map a practical path from intention to execution. Love powers the journey, but skills steer it—presence, boundaries, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation.

Divorce can feel like a blender: everything loud, spinning, and out of your control. Yet beneath the chaos is a path that can lead to a stronger you and a better relationship with your kids. That path starts with vision. When dads picture life after divorce—how they parent, how they co-parent, how they live—clarity replaces panic. A vision is not a fantasy; it’s a compass. From that picture, you can map steps, build skills, and design an environment that supports your goals. It’s the shift from reacting to leading. And leadership is the role your kids need you to claim, even when the courtroom muddies your confidence.

The hardest part of alienation isn’t the shouting match—it’s the silence before it. In this special replay from our members’ call, parental alienation coach Charlie McCready unpacks the quiet mechanics of pre‑alienation and shows how small shifts—subtle digs, shrinking one‑on‑one time, “false choices” that adultify kids—set the stage for a later cutoff. We dig into what actually helps: airtight parenting plans that leave no wiggle room, steady documentation, and fast but measured enforcement when orders are breached.

The script you were handed—study hard, get the job, marry, raise kids—doesn’t teach you what to do when everything shatters. Today, we talk with Steven Jaye, a meteorologist-turned-creator and coach, about how to transform divorce from a dead end into a launchpad. We dig into the mindset that stops the endless postmortem and starts Life 2.0, the role of community in healing, and why the smallest honest action beats another night of numbing out.
