Real Men Ask for Help: A Divorce Coach's Guide to Rebuilding After Rock Bottom | 110

Real Men Ask for Help: A Divorce Coach's Guide to Rebuilding After Rock Bottom | 110Divorce doesn't just wreck your heart. It wrecks your bank account, your identity, and sometimes your whole sense of who you are. This week on the Extreme Personal Finance Show, I sit down with John Hardy, a divorce recovery coach who specializes in helping men rebuild after separation, betrayal, and financial abuse.John opens up about his own 30-year relationship, the alcohol that numbed the pain for years, and the moment he hit rock bottom before finally getting sober and starting over at 50. We dig into the money side of divorce that nobody talks about, hidden assets, vehicles sold for a dollar to keep them out of a settlement, and the financial devastation that comes when trust breaks down. They also get real about identity loss, isolation, and why so many men suffer in silence instead of asking for help.If you're rebuilding after a breakup, or you just want to understand what your partner might be carrying, this episode is packed with practical steps for putting your life (and your finances) back together. John shares his first steps for starting over, why community and accountability matter more than willpower, and how a "bad financial transaction" like divorce can become the launchpad for something better.John also talks about his new book, "Emotional Alchemy," a collaborative project with 19 other divorce coaches, and where guys can find him for coaching.Contact Chris:https://heavymetal.moneyhttps://www.facebook.com/MoneyHeavyMetalhttps://x.com/MoneyHeavyMetalhttps://www.instagram.com/chrislugerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@heavymetalmoneyemail: chris at heavymetal.moneyResources and Links:Connect with John!https://www.johnhardydivorcecoach.comBook Emotional Alchemy https://paintopowerbook.comContact Chris:https://heavymetal.moneyhttps://www.instagram.com/heavy_metal_money/https://www.youtube.com/@heavymetalmoneyhttps://www.facebook.com/chrislugeremail: chris at heavymetal.money
