In this deeply personal episode, Ryan opens up about his own divorce - how it unfolded, what he learned, and how men can navigate their own journey with strength and integrity. Drawing from experience and thousands of conversations with men, Ryan shares five things NOT to do and five things TO do when facing divorce.

He reminds listeners that divorce, while painful, doesn't have to be the end - it can be the start of rebuilding your life with purpose, clarity, and resilience.

Key Takeaways Five Don'ts: - Don't sedate yourself - Avoid alcohol, porn, or distractions that numb growth. - Don't stalk your ex - Cut off emotional dependence and focus forward. - Don't sleep around - Don't use others to fill emotional voids. - Don't seek vengeance or self-harm - You're needed, and life can get better. - Don't watch porn - It distorts intimacy and respect for women.

Five Do's: - Build male friendships - Brotherhood is essential for healing and accountability. - Develop new skills - Strengthen your financial and professional foundation. - Learn a new hobby - Rediscover fun, joy, and adventure. - Train your body - Rebuild strength, confidence, and vitality. - Give back - Serving others heals your own pain.
