DON'T PICK THE SCAB PODCAST

By: David M. Webb
  • Summary

  • We men tend to pick at things that tend to add to the dumpster fire in a stressful situation. Throw in the word DIVORCE. Even the word DIVORCE can shake men to their core and can be a very hard pill to swallow. Divorce can be an emotionally devastating experience, especially for men over 40. My new podcast, "Don't Pick the Scab Podcast", provides an open platform for divorced men to share their stories, find support, and gain tools for recovery. Going through divorce in midlife or later presents unique challenges. Long-term marriages ending often means having to start over in major ways - financially, socially, and in terms of identity. Men over 40 face the difficulty of rebuilding and establishing a new normal at an age where change may be harder. Processing the emotional trauma of divorce is a major hurdle as well. Feelings of failure, regret, bitterness, grief, and anger are common. Working through these emotions in a healthy, constructive way is critical. Don't Pick the Scab Podcast gives divorced men over 40 a chance to share their vulnerabilities, get insights from experts, and know they are not alone in this transition. My goal is to foster understanding, encourage growth, and equip men to embrace life after divorce. Divorce recovery takes time, effort, and support. Through personal stories and practical guidance, this podcast aims to help men over 40 find hope, meaning, and purpose on the other side of marital split. By tackling these struggles together, we can overcome obstacles and successfully navigate our new realities. Join me as we walk the path of divorce recovery one step at a time. Hosted by Ausha.

  • IT Specialist and a Holistic Healer / We’re not licking frogs here, people! - Greg Payne || DPTSP #062 || David M. Webb
    Nov 22 2024

    Welcome to "Don't Pick The Scab Podcast," the podcast where we take a light-hearted dive into the world of men over 40 recovering from divorce. This week, we chat with Greg Payne, a certified life coach and holistic healer. Greg, a self-proclaimed IT-to-healing convert, shares his journey from tech grad to energy worker, proving that even spreadsheets can have a soul.

    Greg co-founded Awaken Roots with his wife, creating a healing hub that’s part advice column, part energy spa. They offer everything from brainspotting to combo—yes, that’s frog sweat medicine—and if that doesn’t sound intriguing, nothing will. Greg explains that brainspotting maps trauma to a specific point in your visual field, kind of like finding your emotional North Star, while combo boosts your immune system with Amazonian frog peptides. Who knew amphibians could be so therapeutic?

    Breathwork and Reiki also make the list, with Greg highlighting how these practices can tune you into your emotional radio station, clearing static and finding clarity. He emphasizes using breathwork to address emotions held in the body, making it easier to navigate life’s tricky transitions, like divorce.


    Ultimately, Greg’s message is simple: Self-care isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifeline. Whether it’s reaching out to a friend or indulging in a little pampering, taking time for yourself is crucial. So, grab your metaphorical toolkit and prepare to rebuild because healing is just a breath away.


    Greg gave it to us fast with no chaser. New but refreshing. Got to get him back on the show! We have more to discuss!
