  • Divorce Recovery and Owning Your Sh*t || Divorce Devil Podcast #189 || David and Rachel
    Aug 31 2024

    Well, it is another interesting podcast by the two of us. Owning your sh*t encompasses so much. We mainly came from the way of it’s ok not to be ok. You are going through some epic sh*t for the first time and how you react at first might not be the best reaction, but you learn over time and adjust accordingly. Our other point is everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn’t need to remain friends with you. If it is a struggle to keep some friends, maybe they need to go. Only you know for sure - and can act accordingly. Just two parts to owning your sh*t!


    Topics discussed:


    It’s ok to say

    Object permanence

    Time to cleanse your friend list

    You want everybody to like you

    Life is dynamic

    Live by hope

    Make it simple

    Baby steps

    Poke the bear?

    I’m ok being the villain in your story

    Am I watching Dexter?

    Friends vs family

    No f*cks button

    Helping people you don’t know

    Delete, delete

    Do better

    We always digress

    Talking Heads

    Call that friends that is no matter what
