Divorce Burnout is Real! 😤 How to Cope, Heal, and Reclaim Your Life Over 40  ||  DD #240  ||  David and Rachel

Are you feeling totally burned out from your divorce? 😫 You’re not alone! In this episode of the Divorce Devil Podcast, David and Rachel get brutally real about “divorce burnout” – that overwhelming exhaustion, frustration, and “I can’t do this anymore!” feeling that hits so many people, especially over 40.


We dive into:

  • Why divorce burnout is more than just stress (it’s an identity crisis, financial fatigue, and ALL the decision overwhelm)

  • How to spot the signs you’re truly burned out (hint: snapping at friends, losing your sense of humor, or just wanting to disappear until Thanksgiving 🦃)

  • Honest stories from our own journeys: Rachel’s COVID divorce, David’s burnout moments, and the realities no one warns you about

  • Practical, SIMPLE steps to start healing – from celebrating small wins (yes, even showering counts! 🚿) to asking for help, setting boundaries, and finding moments of peace (or cookies 🍪)

  • The real talk on losing old friends, dealing with kids’ feelings, and why your timeline for moving on is YOURS alone


If you’re tired of advice that doesn’t get it, or just need a laugh while you rebuild your life, this episode is for YOU. 💬
