    288 - What If The Pain Is Your Path To Becoming The Dad Your Kids Need

    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. Listeners save 25% on 1-on-1 divorce coaching!

    287 - When The Truth Hurts Your Child More Than A Lie

    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.

    283 - The Infection Stage Before Parental Alienation

    A child’s bond doesn’t shatter overnight—it frays through small cuts that often go unnoticed. We unpack the idea of “pre-alienation,” the early stage where one parent’s subtle comments, eye rolls, and quiet omissions make a child question the other parent’s love or competence. Using a clear infection-versus-disease analogy, we show how these patterns multiply over time and why the earliest moments are the best time to intervene.
