Divorce Stories
On Divorce Stories, people talk vulnerably about their experiences of divorce. They talk about the struggles, the joys, the things that helped, and the things they wish they had done differently. It's my hope that this podcast can light the way for those who are trying to find their way through this transition.

Henrik: One Man’s Perspective- How Therapy Led to Divorce
In this conversation, Henrik Bennetsen shares his personal journey through divorce, exploring themes of vulnerability, masculinity, and the emotional challenges faced by men. He discusses the impact of therapy on his decision to end his marriage, the fears surrounding his children's well-being, and the lessons learned about love and relationships. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of community support and the need for men to embrace their emotions in order to foster healthier relationships.
Henrik mentions a few books that have shaped his journey and that might be helpful during yours:
1. The Will to Change; Men, Masculinity, and Love-- An exploration of how the patriarchy impacts men's ability to love
2. Conscious Uncoupling; 5 steps to Happily Even After-- A book about how to have a better breakup.
3. The Stepfamily Handbook; From Dating, to Getting Serious, to forming a "Blended Family". -- A roadmap for making your new love a part of your kids' lives.
