When your wife says she wants a divorce, is she really asking for an exit or for help?

In this episode, we dive into the all-too-common mistake men make when they assume divorce is the only way forward — they shut off emotionally and shift straight into logistics.

Carl shares his personal experience of going into this mode, only to realise too late that what his partner really needed was empathy and for him to fight for the relationship.

Learn the importance of checking in with yourself before jumping into planning mode and why acting from a loving heart rather than a controlling one could be the key to becoming the North Star your partner needs.

This episode is a reminder that relationships need fighting for, especially when things seem at their worst. Don’t let the logistics of divorce be your first step.
