Congratulations! You're Divorced

By: Congratulations! Network
  • Summary

  • Men constantly experience difficult seasons. And for some God-awful reason, we believe it makes us less “manly” to actually discuss our hardships with each other and try to find a place of healing. So Steven Woodson and Keith Parker decided to create the Congratulations! Network. Now that you've found us, you get to become part of a community. A group of elevated and enlightened men, who aren't afraid to express their emotions and still stand tall. We own our mistakes and rewrite our stories. We treat everyone with kindness and face our demons with a ferocity that the Greek gods would have admired. So Congratulations, guys, and get ready to write the best chapters of your life.

  • Soundtracks of Emotion: Breakups
    Mar 27 2024

    Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words, but then a song comes on and speaks directly to your heart? This week, the guys unpack the profound way music can stitch up the wounds left behind from a breakup, and guide us through the maze of divorce. We kick off with some casual chatter about life's little battles before diving into the anthems of our angst. From the pop-punk reassurance during our teenage heartbreaks to the defiant roar of breakup hits, we reflect on these tunes that resonate with our soul's healing process.

    Our journey doesn't stop at the songs that kept us company in the lonely moments. We explore the evolution of our music tastes as we mend, shifting from softer melodies to the raw energy that seems to scream our thoughts back at us. Drawing from personal stories like chilling at Sonic with Joey, to the raw emotions evoked by the harmonic melody of Penny and Sparrow, we illustrate how music can be both a companion and a catalyst for growth. And let's not forget the therapeutic release of belting out a rebellious track; we've all been there, and it's a powerful step on the road to recovery.

    So plug in, find solace in our shared experiences, and let's celebrate the personal growth that comes from the other side of heartache—all to the soundtrack of the music that helps us heal.

    Mar 13 2024

Well, on this episode, we talk about the internal tug-of-war we face when stepping into new roles, especially under the weight of our relentless inner critics. Amid personal tales and shared vulnerabilities, this episode unfolds the complexities of confidence and self-doubt that accompany us in both professional and personal arenas. We dissect the roots of our self-criticism and challenge its validity, all while discovering the raw truth about what it takes to navigate the murky waters of self-perception.

    We also candidly discuss the treacherous cycle of validation and how it shapes our self-worth, translating personal anecdotes into life lessons for silencing the critic. You'll hear about the emergence of the inner champion, a concept that might just be the game changer in your journey toward mental resilience.

    Wrapping up with a heartwarming reminder to practice self-compassion, we extend an invitation to listeners to join the conversation.

  • The Ripple Effect: Reflections on Mortality, Loss, and Embracing Life's Changes
    Feb 28 2024

    As we navigate the seasons of life, the path is often scattered with both deep loss and growth potential. In this heartfelt episode, we share personal stories of facing the decline of beloved family members and the rippling effects this has on our family dynamics, from strained conversations to introspective revelations about aging and mortality. Our journey through grief touches on the passing of grandparents, the sudden loss of a friend, and the profound ways these experiences carve out the landscape of our understanding of life's fleeting nature.

    Confronted with the inevitability of role reversals, we reflect on the responsibilities of caring for our elders and the conversations that shape our legacies. Parker opens up about the challenges posed by his mother's health habits and how these discussions force us to face the potential burden we may carry in the future. Loss, and how we cope with it, take a central role as we ponder the significance of our actions and the marks we leave on the world. Through these narratives, we find solace in accepting life's relentless progression and the grace found in the moments we share with those we cherish.

    Towards the close of this poignant episode, we consider the concept of 'cookie jarring' memories, making decisions that respect the autonomy of our loved ones, and the balance of living for ourselves while acknowledging our eventual caregiver roles. Rounding out with lighter musings on lost items that hold sentimental value and naming the current chapter of your story.

    Join us for an episode that promises not just a reflection on the inevitable but a celebration of the moments that make the journey worthwhile.
