Men’s Divorce Recovery Guru, Michael Rhodes - Facilitator of all things Rising Phoenix Podcast and Website || DRMO40 013 || David

How do I even write these show notes?  Michael and I crossed paths through Facebook years ago as he was just starting his podcast.  He has ‘blossomed’ into so many extensions of the men’s divorce recovery space.  With a podcast, website, coaching abilities and a host of other media to help men who are going through one of their most devastating moments in their lives, Michael keeps it fresh with new topics and new ideas.  Even though sometimes those ideas might be opposite of what he thinks, Michael is not opposed to presenting both positive and negative sides to every story.  He realizes that everything can’t be unicorns and flowers. We discuss Michael's personal journey through divorce and his mission to help men going through similar experiences. Then we explore topics such as self-care, dealing with anger, the importance of forgiveness, and the impact of divorce on children. Michael emphasizes the need for men to work on themselves first before entering new relationships. The conversation provides valuable insights and support for men navigating the challenges of divorce and recovery. I definitely will have Michael back on the show for we only touched some of the subjects men deal with.  Thanks my brother.Interesting Topics:Still a labor of loveRising Phoenix BrandDiscord ServerAnger channelForgiveness and anger are adjacentKids are the innocent partyDon’t stay in it for kidsBe the best father you can beA father in your life cannot be replacedSuicide takes the pain away but gives it to othersWe need to get better handling our strong emotionsMeaningless sexSex is like pizza, even bad pizza is goodLearn who you are and how you tickThe silent treatment is not a good strategy for a sound relationshipTake care of what is going on in your four walls not hersCreate at least one safe space for the kidsWe can only control our environmentDon’t stay in the angerMichael’s empathy and sympathy has a shelf lifeRising Phoenix PodcastMichael Rhodes Divorce CoachHosted on Ausha.
