I work with men who have built careers most people would envy. Corner office, respected, capable. And then divorce hits and they realize the man they built was mostly built around a relationship, a role, or a version of themselves they never actually chose.

That's not weakness. That's what happens when high-achieving men optimize for performance and skip the part where they figure out who they actually are.

I went through it myself. I got sole custody of my kids acting as my own attorney (I'm not an attorney)

But the hardest question I faced wasn't about assets or custody. It was: who am I when I'm not being somebody's husband, somebody's provider, somebody's anything?

If that question sounds familiar, you're not alone and you're not broken.

What was the moment you realized the divorce was bigger than just the marriage ending?
