The Men's Divorce Playbook

Helping men cope, heal, and thrive through their divorce experience

    

This site is for those of you going through any phase of your divorce. Having been in your shoes, I didn’t even know where to start down this divorce path. I didn’t know the basic mechanics of how divorce worked and what I needed to do, let alone the emotional challenges I was up against. I could have desperately benefited from having this information going into and through my divorce. My goal is to provide you insight into how you can be prepared and manage this unique time in your life. You will take with you thoughts, ideas, and tools that will help expedite your healing and recovery time, while ultimately helping you to thrive in your new life post-divorce.

ABOUT

I’m looking to help men get through divorce by sharing stories, inspiration, and tools to help men manage this transition in their lives. The goal is to come out on the other side better having gone through the experience. Today I feel I’m a better man today because of the adversities in my life and I want to help you thrive post-divorce. I realized when I was going through my divorce in 2012, I felt alone having to navigate and figure divorce all out on my own. Fortunately for me, I do pretty well on my own, but I could have benefited from hearing other men’s experiences about what was coming down the road during this challenging time. I’ve always observed a difference between men and women when coping with break ups. I believe women in general have a better network for emotional support. Men on the other hand, based on society standards, are supposed to be “tough” and do it on their own. Women cry on the shoulders of the girlfriends and hold each other. They are typically less alone through the recovering process. Men retreat to their caves in isolation to figure it out on their own until they’re ready to return to the world. My goal is to help men through this process, help them feel connected to others, and provide useful tools to expedite their healing.

This is a great book for any man or woman who has gone through or is going through a divorce. During a time where most people feel more alone than ever, it's great to know that you are not alone. And to have a real life perspective from another person who has gone through all of the same feelings. The author is genuine and easy to relate to.
