Celebrating 200 Episodes of Divorce Recovery Insights: A Journey in Healing and Humor
Hey everyone, David and Rachel here, welcoming you to a special blog post where we're diving into the highlights of our 200th episode of the "Divorce Table" podcast. It's been a journey filled with laughter, lessons, and a lot of growth. Today, we're reflecting on some of the profound insights and humorous escapades we've shared along the way.
Embracing the Healing Process
One of our all-time favorite discussions revolves around the concept of "Giving No Fucks" from episode 47. It marked a pivotal point in my early divorce recovery, where I shifted from anger and resentment to a more carefree approach to life's challenges. The idea isn’t about being indifferent but about focusing on personal growth and not dwelling on things beyond our control.
The Power of Boundaries
It took us 184 episodes to tackle the topic of boundaries directly, but it was worth the wait. Setting boundaries, especially with family, is crucial. It's about taking control of your happiness and peace, even if it means making uncomfortable decisions. Remember, "No" is a complete sentence, and sometimes, that's all you need to say.
The Role of Pets in Recovery
Our furry friends often become our silent supporters through tough times. As Rachel pointed out, pets provide unconditional love without judgment, offering comfort that sometimes surpasses human interactions.
Self-Care and Moving On
Self-care is a recurring theme in our discussions. It's about doing for yourself what you routinely do for others. Whether it's taking care of a pet or finding a new hobby, these actions help redirect your energy positively, aiding in healing.
Accepting New Realities
The process of divorce introduces numerous changes, and acceptance is key. Whether it's adjusting to new living arrangements or dealing with shared custody, embracing these new realities is a step toward healing.
The Importance of Humor
Laughter truly is therapeutic. Discussing lighter topics, sharing funny stories, or simply finding humor in our daily mishaps can significantly lift spirits and strengthen resilience.
Misconceptions of Divorce
Episode 149 tackled the misconceptions surrounding divorce. It’s not always about finding greener pastures; it’s a complex and emotional journey that requires strength and perseverance.
The Power of Community
Throughout our podcast, the power of community—of sharing stories and experiences—stands out. Knowing you're not alone in your journey can be incredibly comforting and empowering.
Future Forward
Looking ahead, we aim to continue providing support, laughter, and perhaps a bit of wisdom for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of divorce. We're planning more interactive sessions, live events, and we're always eager to hear from you—our listeners and readers.
Conclusion
From discussing the practicalities of life post-divorce to exploring personal growth and the unexpected humor in life's challenges, our podcast aims to support and enlighten. Here’s to many more episodes, and thank you for being part of our journey. Remember, you're not just surviving; you're learning how to thrive again.
If any of these insights resonate with you, or if you’ve got your own stories to share, drop us a line. We're all in this together, one episode at a time.

In this episode of the Divorce Devil Podcast (Episode 199), David and Rachel focus on navigating toxic relationships during divorce recovery, particularly with friends, family, and acquaintances. They discuss the importance of setting boundaries, owning your actions, and recognizing patterns of harmful behavior in relationships. David and Rachel emphasize the challenge of dealing with toxic family members, who often feel entitled to access and respect due to shared history. They argue that respect is earned, not automatically granted based on familial ties.
Rachel shares personal experiences about growing up in a toxic environment, dealing with narcissistic behavior, and breaking cycles of dysfunction. She highlights the importance of self-awareness and refusing to perpetuate negative patterns in relationships. David adds that healing requires reflecting on past relationships and learning to build healthier ones, while also detaching from toxic individuals who disrupt personal growth.
The hosts stress the need to avoid assumptions, take responsibility for one’s actions, and communicate clear expectations to others. They discuss how divorce reveals deeper issues in relationships and serves as an opportunity for personal growth. Ultimately, they advocate for prioritizing mental and emotional well-being over maintaining unhealthy connections, even if it means estranging oneself from family members.

Social media during divorce recovery. Rachel says be smart and I say don’t do it - take a break. It never turns out well, most of the time. So many people have an opinion on social media and divorce. I have heard of instances where social media can be used in a divorce proceeding. So, buyer beware!

You make the decision - what will you feel comfortable with? The ball is in your court.

Well, here it is again. The craziness of the Divorce Devil Podcast. We take off with starting with the notion of no control in your divorce or divorce recovery to road construction.

Strap in because this show goes fast and all over the place. Take a listen
Discussions of:

Well, it is another interesting podcast by the two of us. Owning your sh*t encompasses so much. We mainly came from the way of it’s ok not to be ok. You are going through some epic sh*t for the first time and how you react at first might not be the best reaction, but you learn over time and adjust accordingly. Our other point is everyone is not your friend and everyone doesn’t need to remain friends with you. If it is a struggle to keep some friends, maybe they need to go. Only you know for sure - and can act accordingly. Just two parts to owning your sh*t!
Topics discussed:
It’s ok to say
Object permanence
Time to cleanse your friend list
You want everybody to like you
Life is dynamic
Live by hope
Make it simple
Baby steps
Poke the bear?
I’m ok being the villain in your story
Am I watching Dexter?
Friends vs family
No f*cks button
Helping people you don’t know
Delete, delete
Do better
We always digress
Talking Heads
Call that friends that is no matter what
