Are you a man over 40 struggling to bounce back after divorce? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this episode of the “Don’t Pick the Scab” Podcast, host David sits down with acclaimed divorce recovery expert and bestselling author Raul T. Pereyra for a powerful, honest conversation about turning heartbreak into Growth. 💥

Raul brings more than 15 years of experience helping men over 40 rise from the emotional chaos of divorce and reclaim their confidence, identity, and life purpose. Whether it’s dealing with loneliness, rebuilding self-trust, or figuring out how to date again (without using your ex’s Netflix password!), Raul has practical strategies and real-world Wisdom to help you thrive.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why reframing your divorce story is the FIRST step to recovery (hint: it didn’t happen to you, it happened for you)

  • The 80/20 principle for men’s healing: focusing on the 20% that truly matters and letting go of the baggage đź§ł

  • How to identify and break free from toxic patterns and old belief systems

  • Setting boundaries that actually work—and empower you

  • The emotional reset: why real change starts with feeling, not just thinking

  • Key differences in emotional recovery for men vs. women (and why men often get stuck)

  • How to rediscover self-Love, self-respect, and self-compassion—“the three cousins” most men ignore

  • Measuring your progress the right way: why chasing confidence or happiness is a trap, and what to do instead

  • Turning your “bag” of pain into a jetpack for your next chapter! 🚀

I really enjoy being a boomer. I started a divorce recovery podcast (The Divorce Devil Podcast) in 2016 and another one especially for the men in their divorce recovery (Don't Pick the Scab Podcast). Love doing boomer things - Pickleball, riding my mountain and road bikes, and hiking.
