Restored: Helping Children of Divorce
Children of divorce are 2–3 times more likely to get divorced and are more likely to struggle with emotional problems, relationship issues, and bad habits. But those stats don’t get to write your story. If your parents’ divorce or family dysfunction left wounds you can’t always put into words, this show is for you.
The Restored Podcast shares real stories and expert tips to heal the trauma, navigate family challenges, and build the healthy relationships you’ve always wanted.
Ranked in the top 10% of all podcasts and #18 in the divorce category — the only one dedicated to children of divorce — listeners say it’s “more effective than 30 years of counseling.”
You’re not doomed to repeat your family’s past. You can break the cycle, and we’re here to help you do it.

Most people think screen time is a harmless habit. But what if it’s quietly training your brain against healing?
In this conversation, Christen Routh explains why doomscrolling feels like relief but often leaves you more anxious, more numb, and more alone. We talk about the real danger of screens, not just what they show you, but what they replace: real friendship, real presence, real growth. And we get practical about what to do instead, without going off-grid.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why screen overuse can mimic an addiction cycle and keep you stuck in escape mode
- How doomscrolling can increase loneliness through comparison and emotional crash
- How algorithms quietly shape your standards for love, friendship, and boundaries
- How to build a tech plan that makes your phone a tool again, not your master
