What happens when you take one of childhood’s most invisible wounds, growing up through your parents’ divorce, and turn it into purpose?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Joey Pontarelli, founder of Restored and author of It’s Not Your Fault, to unpack the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of life after family breakdown.
Joey shares his own story of pain, healing, and redemption, from feeling abandoned and ashamed as an 11-year-old to building a global movement that helps teens and young adults from divorced or dysfunctional families find hope and healing.
We talk about:
Why so many kids secretly blame themselves for their parents’ divorce
How to stop the cycle of dysfunction from repeating
The role of faith, community, and meaning in rebuilding your life
What parents can do right now to support their children through separation
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating divorce, as a parent, a child, or someone still healing from the ripple effects of family breakdown.
