"Congrats, You’re Divorced!” – The Black Man’s Survival Guide
EPISODE 2 • SEASON 5 00:46:28
Divorce hits different when you’re a Black man.
In this episode of The Lifestrong Project, we’re joined by David—divorce survivor, author, and professional “WTF just happened?” analyst—to unpack what really goes down when a Black man’s marriage ends.
We get into:
- The emotional fallout Black men are never taught to talk about
- How culture, pride, and “man up” expectations make the pain even heavier
- Co-parenting, courts, and the quiet fears most brothers never say out loud
- Why it’s okay to be angry, hurt, and confused—and still be healing
- Real strategies to rebuild your life, identity, and joy after the papers are signed
If you’re a Black man going through a breakup, know someone who is, or just want to understand the unseen weight divorce puts on men in our community, this one’s for you.
“Congrats, you’re divorced.” Now what?
