I Had the Life. Then I Drove Lyft. Here's What That Season Built in Me

A dad jumped on the free Monday night call this week. Six bedroom house — gone. Kids have everything at his ex's. He's in a small apartment wondering if he's the lesser option. Anthony's been there. Driving Lyft so his kids could eat. Living with his parents. Feeling like life was over. This episode is for that dad — and for every divorced dad carrying shame about what he can't provide right now. The apartment is not the problem. The meaning you're attaching to it is.
