Life has a way of rowing us in unexpected directions, especially after divorce. When my lighthouse suddenly disappeared—a significant relationship ending abruptly after I'd already downsized my home and podcast studio—I found myself adrift, questioning everything.

What followed was a journey of rediscovery that took me across seven states on a three-week road trip, connecting with friends who opened their homes and hearts when I needed it most. Between driving with a windshield shattered by an 18-pound piece of metal (a near-death experience that left me covered in glass for a three-hour drive) and sleeping under the stars in Maui while whale songs filled the night air, I've had time to reflect on what truly matters and where this podcast needs to go.

Your messages about how Unyoked has helped your divorce recovery journey have been my compass through this challenging time. I've realized that divorce recovery isn't just for those in the immediate aftermath—it's also for those who've moved beyond being "the divorced person" but still carry wounds that need healing. This understanding has inspired me to expand with two YouTube channels: Unyoked Divorce Podcast specifically for recovery, and Unyoked Living for embracing life after being unyoked from past relationships. I'm also completing a men's workbook to complement the women's resource many of you have used.

UnYoked - The Post Divorce Podcast: Navigating your divorce and recovery with grace.

Divorce and the new single life is hard but it is even more complex when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make navigating the decisions and ripple effects of divorce any easier. Christian marriage and divorce advice runs rampant yet often conflicts with the realities of pain, abuse, loneliness, and the real world.

God has a lot more to say than, “I hate divorce.” God gives a standard and then graciously restores and renews people even when His standard isn't met.

Those of us who are navigating the life changing event of unYoking from a spouse and/or uprooting a family have to journey through some dark, lonely, and confusing places. Our issues aren't frequently tackled from the pulpit and the advice we receive isn't always relevant to our current place.

The UnYoked podcast is just for you. A safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps of navigating a divorce, singleness, and the future. A place where we live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world with broken people and broken relationships. Buckle up... remove the mask.. and let's get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as a Christian.
