from Divorced Dads of America: The Rebuild · host Anthony Thompson, Founder of Divorced Dads of America
The whole magic of fireworks is watching your kids' faces. When they're not there — the holiday hits different. In this episode Anthony gets honest about what the 4th of July actually feels like without your kids, why your brain pulls you back to what no longer exists, and the system he uses to go on offense before the hard day arrives. Plus the Positive Menu — the framework that replaces every bad habit with a deliberate choice made before the feeling hits. In this episode: Why your brain is most vulnerable to the past on the days that used to mean the most — and the neuroscience behind it Why willpower doesn't work on hard holidays — and what actually does The Positive Menu — how to build your main menu and your evening menu before the silence hits Why watching 1917 and WW2 documentaries alone is not just entertainment — it's programming The pre-commitment research that proves deciding in advance beats in-the-moment discipline every time Ecclesiastes 3:1 and what season you're actually in right now The difference between a builder and a drifter when the house goes quiet Connect with Anthony & Divorced Dads of America: Apply for 1-on-1 coaching: https://bit.ly/3PfPU0f Join the free Skool community: https://bit.ly/3Z83e97 Instagram: @divorceddadsofamerica
