EP91: Michael Butler - The Single Father's Guide To Surviving Your Divorce

"Get yourself healthy first, grab the oxygen mask. Get some men in your life. Stop the financial bleeding… It's going to take a while to recover so think smart, think like a business owner but the main thing is heal yourself first so you don't repeat the patterns."

As today's guest, Michael Butler says, we don't plan for divorce. So if it happens and you're not prepared, you can easily make a lot of emotionally charged decisions that make matters much worse. Especially if there are kids involved. Guilt, shame and regret are powerful emotions that will bring the worst out of us unless we have something to hold us accountable. Today we hear about the power of faith and masculine brotherhood to hold a man to his potential; the effect of the modern, feminised environment that can bring the worst out of a man and ill equip a boy to know how to handle relationships; the consequence of victim mentality and how to take ownership; and kids: the divorce is not your fault.

Michael is a pastor and father of two who's been through a divorce. He didn't cope well at first and learned from his mistakes. Through his faith, commitment to his kids and through the men in his life, he recovered and wrote his book to help other men maintain their dignity through divorce.
