Rebuilding After Divorce, Identity Loss, And Grief with America's Leading Midlife Dating & Relationship Coach Jonathon Aslay

Send us Fan MailFear can feel like a full-time job when life collapses at once—divorce, layoffs, a financial crash, and the gnawing question of who you are without your old identity. We sit down with relationship coach and author Jonathon Aslay to explore how he climbed out of that chaos, traded numbing habits for healing practices, and found purpose he couldn’t have imagined at the start. His story is raw and practical, full of real tools and honest detours that make growth feel possible, not performative.The conversation turns deeply personal as Jonathan reflects on the sudden passing of his 19-year-old son and the choice to grieve with love rather than sink into suffering. We discuss self-love as a living practice—self-worth, self-esteem, self-reliance—and how to care for the inner six-year-old that still drives our reactions. Cultural scripts and inner critics get a reality check, including a simple forgiveness ritual (the Hawaiian prayer) that calms the nervous system. By the end, you’ll have a handful of grounded practices and a fresh respect for the small, daily choices that rebuild identity and purpose from the inside out.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these tools. Tell us: which practice will you try first—breath, journaling, or forgiveness?If you wish to connect with Jonathon head over to his YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@JonathonAslay or his Instagram: instagram.com/jonathonaslay Support the showTo download a free chapter of host Sylvia Worsham's bestselling book, In Faith, I Thrive: Finding Joy Through God's Masterplan, purchase any of her products, or book a call with her, visit her website at www.sylviaworsham.com
