Welcome to "Divorce Devil," a dynamic and candid podcast series hosted by David and Rachel. In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the concept of "Gray Healing" — a phase of emotional recovery that isn’t black and white but exists in the gray areas of growth. Together, David and Rachel bring humor, raw honesty, and personal experiences to explore the complexities of post-divorce life, relationships, and self-discovery.

In this episode, Rachel and David share their perspectives on navigating the ups and downs of healing, drawing on real-life analogies like fishing tackle boxes and speedbumps in a parking lot. They tackle the challenges of breaking old patterns, maintaining boundaries, and confronting outdated self-perceptions. Through this heartfelt discussion, the cohosts emphasize the importance of being actively present in one’s healing journey. They also address the role of faith — whether in oneself, in the unseen, or in the process of life itself — as a pivotal element of recovery.

With relatable anecdotes, candid humor, and valuable insights, "Divorce Devil" creates a safe space for listeners to reflect on their own healing journeys and find comfort in knowing they’re not alone.
