    The Unspoken Grief of Divorced Men and How to Rise From It with Founder of Men’s Therapy Online, Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CPG, ACS

    In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men’s Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore. Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms. Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men’s Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be. If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.

    Stepping back into the dating world after a long marriage and painful divorce can feel overwhelming. The landscape has changed, your confidence may feel shaky, and it’s easy to carry old fears and insecurities with you. But what if dating after divorce wasn’t about pressure or “finding the one”?

Julie shares practical insights like the three-date rule, the importance of authentic communication, and how to enjoy the process rather than fear it. What makes Julie’s approach so powerful is that it’s not just about meeting someone new—it’s about transforming how you see yourself in relationships and in life.

    Essential Steps for Business Owners Facing Divorce with Gabriella Martinelli, CDFA®

    In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Gabriella Martinelli, a seasoned Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and founder of Ever After Wealth®, to explore the critical steps business owners must take to value and protect their businesses before a divorce. With over two decades of experience helping entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of divorce, Gabriella brings deep expertise in avoiding financial pitfalls, cleaning up financial records, and ensuring accurate business valuations. If you are divorcing with a business on the line, the stakes are incredibly high, and one misstep can cost you far more than money. We discuss how businesses are appraised during divorce, the emotional and financial challenges that arise during asset division, and the importance of clarifying valuation long before lawyers and courts are involved. Gabriella also explains why separating personal and business finances and maintaining accurate documentation is essential for protecting both your enterprise and your personal net worth. Together, we highlight the key tax and ownership considerations that can arise when selling, splitting, or retaining a business and share practical strategies to help you safeguard what you’ve built. Whether you are just beginning to consider divorce or are already mid-process, this conversation will provide clarity, direction, and the financial wisdom you need to protect your future.

    When the Abuse Has No Bruises: How to Spot, Speak About, and Heal from Emotional Harm with Annette Oltmans, Founder and CEO of The M3ND Project

    Abuse doesn’t always leave physical scars, but it always leaves an impact. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Annette Oltmans — survivor, author, and founder of The M3ND Project — to shine a light on the realities of emotional and covert abuse, and the all-too-common retraumatization that happens when victims seek help but are met with disbelief or dismissal. Annette’s groundbreaking work on Double Abuse® gives language to what so many survivors have experienced but struggled to name. Together, we explore what emotional and covert abuse really look like, the risks of misusing terms like “gaslighting” or “narcissism” in legal contexts, and how to safeguard your credibility when telling your story in court or to professionals. We talk about why so many therapists, clergy, and attorneys still miss the signs of abuse and how you can begin finding the ones who truly understand. Most importantly, we discuss how to take those first healing steps with support that validates your experience and helps you move forward. We also highlight valuable resources from The M3ND Project, including free guides, training, and tools designed to help both survivors and professionals respond with clarity and compassion. If you’ve been struggling to put words to your experience or to find the right help, you are not alone. This conversation will give you insight, hope, and practical direction as you take steps to heal and rebuild your life.

    Rewire Your Beliefs: Shift Painful Emotions Instantly with ThetaHealing with Sanaiyah Gurnamal

    Letting go of a long-term relationship can feel like losing a lifetime investment, leaving you with grief, resentment, and confusion about how to move forward. Divorce often stirs old wounds and unconscious beliefs formed in childhood, patterns that resurface in marriage and make the ending feel even more painful. Many people believe it will take years of hard work to heal, but what if there was a way to shift your emotional state and release that pain far more quickly? In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Sanaiyah Gurnamal, a Master ThetaHealer and founder of House of Healing in Dubai. Sanaiyah shares how ThetaHealing works at the subconscious level to dissolve limiting beliefs, heal attachment wounds, and release grief stored in both the body and mind. Together, we explore why cognitive understanding alone isn’t enough, how energetic transformation can unlock freedom, and why letting go of the “investment mindset” is essential to moving beyond the past. I also share my personal experience with ThetaHealing and the profound shifts I experienced in a single session. This conversation is both practical and deeply hopeful, offering insight into how you can begin letting go of resentment, shame, and guilt—even if forgiveness feels out of reach. Whether you’re in the midst of divorce or still holding on to the pain of a past relationship, this episode will help you see what’s possible when you release old stories and open the door to clarity, confidence, and peace.

    Parallel Parenting: Boundaries, Structure & Legal Clarity with Randi L. Karmel, PLLC

    When co-parenting feels impossible because of constant conflict, there is another way. It’s called parallel parenting—a structure designed for high-conflict divorce that reduces interaction, sets clear boundaries, and allows both parents to focus on their children’s wellbeing. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I’m joined by Randi Karmel, PLLC, a family law attorney, mediator, and parent coordinator with decades of experience helping families navigate custody disputes, substance abuse cases, and complex parenting dynamics. Randi and I explore how to create a parallel parenting plan that actually works. We talk about what must be included in your legal agreement, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to handle the inevitable gray areas that come with real life. You’ll also hear why having a parent coordinator can be a game-changer in easing ongoing conflict. If you’re facing high-conflict divorce or struggling with parenting arrangements, this episode will give you practical tools to reduce stress, minimize court battles, and prioritize your child’s emotional safety.

    When Money Turns Malicious: High-Conflict Divorce in Wealthy Families with New York Attorney, Joshua L. Rieger

    In high-net-worth divorces, money isn’t just a shared asset—it often becomes the sharpest weapon in the conflict. From hidden accounts to excessive legal spending, financial manipulation can turn an already painful process into a drawn-out war. In this powerful episode, high-conflict divorce coach Karen McMahon explores the darker side of wealth and separation with Joshua L. Rieger, partner at Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein. A seasoned litigator and mediator, Josh brings firsthand insight from years in the courtroom, where he’s seen how money is used to control, punish, and destabilize. Together, they unpack what financial abuse looks like in practice, how courts respond to weaponized wealth, and the strategies both moneyed and non-moneyed spouses can use to protect themselves. Josh also shares what every high-net-worth individual needs to understand about power imbalances, legal safeguards, and maintaining dignity through even the most contentious divorces. Whether you're protecting a legacy or fighting for a fair share, this episode offers a critical roadmap for navigating divorce when money is at the center of the storm.
