Bro-ing Pains
Bro-ing Pains is the podcast about redefining masculinity, feelings, and the occasional pun. Co-hosted by Papa Chad (a licensed therapist) & Carlos (a theater kid turned self-proclaimed Corporate Papi), this show dives into the conversations that live somewhere between your therapist's office and the group chat.
Whether you're emotionally avoidant, anxious, or just straight up awkward: Pull up a chair. Make yourself comfortable. You're in the right place.
New episodes drop every other Thursday. Join the conversation on IG/TikTok @broingpains and email us your listener letters at broingpainspod@gmail.com.

"D" is for Divorce: From Starter Marriages to Staying Together for the Kids
Is divorce really the worst-case scenario—or is staying in the wrong relationship worse?
In this episode, we explore the cultural, religious, and emotional weight of divorce. From “starter marriages” to the myth of staying together for the kids, we unpack why the shame surrounding divorce often does more harm than good.
We also talk about the viral Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo “holding space” moment, the effects of calling it quits and why we need to stop pretending it's not a big deal.
For those curious about how childhood experiences shape our beliefs about relationships, we introduce the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences quiz) — a simple but powerful tool to better understand the long-term effects of trauma, including how we approach love, conflict, and letting go.
