The Divorce Roundtable - Healing, Identity & Moving On

In a special roundtable episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay brings together three leading voices in men’s mental health. They discuss one of the most personal and transformative experiences men face: divorce. Relationship coach Shana James, couples therapist Tamra Sattler, and somatic psychotherapist Silvan Erb-Summers join the discussion. This episode explores the heart of emotional healing, identity crisis, and what it means to be a man after separation.
As Shana reflects, “Divorce is one of the most amazing catalysts for evolution. It is an opportunity to be loved for who you are instead of who you thought you were when you were a lot younger.” Her message is clear—this painful transition can also be a path to profound self-awareness and connection.
Tamra emphasizes the emotional whiplash many men face. “These men have been building their careers for 20 years, and suddenly it’s time to discuss a relationship. Know yourself. Be yourself. Embody yourself.” Silvan, a child of divorce himself, adds a layer of intergenerational insight. “It’s cool to see how many more resources there are now… divorce dads are starved for support.”
Together, these experts guide listeners through the confusion and grief that accompany divorce. They also spotlight the tools and community needed to rebuild.

The Divorce Recovery Blueprint for Men

In this solo episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, therapist and host Marc Azoulay takes centre stage. He shares what he calls the “Divorce Comeback Blueprint.” He has years of experience working with men. Marc outlines the deeply personal and often painful road that men walk after a failed marriage. Marc invites his listeners into a process of transformation. It is a way to reclaim identity, rebuild purpose, and redefine masculinity.
“This isn’t the end. In fact, for many men, it’s a starting line,” Marc says, reframing divorce as an opportunity for growth rather than a life sentence. He observes that many men don’t begin their emotional work until they hit rock bottom. Divorce often acts as that trigger. Through honest reflection and tactical advice, Marc encourages men to embrace grief. He focuses on them to take ownership of their role in the relationship and begin a structured comeback plan.
Drawing from real-life therapy experiences, Marc emphasizes the deep emotional collapse men often endure: “It’s not that you’re a loser… It’s grief.” He urges his audience to step away from the toxic masculinity that teaches men to repress emotions. Instead of moving toward post-divorce therapy, community, and intentional healing. His roadmap isn’t a quick fix—it’s a life redesign.

Exposing the Hidden Costs of Family Law: The Toxic Divorce Industry

In this solo episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, therapist and host Marc Azoulay offers exposes the divorce industry. He shares a deep, sobering look into the dark underbelly of the family law system. Marc draws on his experience working with men in the aftermath of divorce. He unveils the layers of trauma, manipulation, and systemic bias men face as they navigate custody battles. He shares the emotional abuse and the overwhelming financial burden of the divorce industry.
“Divorce isn’t just emotionally painful—it’s weaponized, monetized, and systematized,” Marc explains. “Men are often the ones paying the price—financially, emotionally, and psychologically.”
This isn’t just a critique of lawyers or court procedures—it’s an urgent conversation about an industry that profits from emotional turmoil. The average contested divorce can cost $15,000–$30,000 per person, and that's before child support or alimony is even considered. For many men, this becomes the start of a long road filled with unresolved grief, identity loss, and shattered relationships.
Marc shares alarming statistics: mothers receive primary custody in 80% of U.S. divorces. 97% of alimony awards are paid by men—figures that reveal a deeply ingrained systemic bias. The episode is both a reality check and a call to arms for men to reclaim their narrative. It highlights how to build strong support systems. It focuses on prioritizing emotional healing through post-divorce therapy and community care.

He helps them to dismantle outdated gender roles and step fully into co-leadership within their homes.

How to Get Fit Without Ever Stepping Into a Gym

For many men, the idea of spending hours at the gym isn’t just unappealing—it’s unworkable. Whether it’s due to time, money, or simply a lack of motivation, the traditional fitness model doesn't fit everyone's lifestyle. Marc Azoulay is a psychotherapist and host of the Men’s Therapy Podcast. He shares practical insights into how men can build strength. He teaches how to reclaim their health and take control of their lives—all from the comfort of their homes.
“I’ve worked with hundreds of men who hate the gym,” Azoulay explains. “That’s not a problem. You don’t need to bench press 200 pounds to build discipline, testosterone, and a body you're proud of.”
This episode is especially geared toward dads. They may be sacrificing their well-being for their families, unintentionally sidelining their health. “Maybe the commute is too long. Maybe you’re prioritizing your family over yourself, which is problematic in some ways, but understandable.”
What emerges is a powerful message rooted in one key principle: consistency. Azoulay emphasizes that building habits, not chasing motivation, is what leads to lasting change. As he says, “Action creates motivation—not the other way around.”

Holistic Wellness and the Modern Man w/ Benjamin Vozmediano

On this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, holistic wellness coach Benjamin Vozmediano joins us. He shares a deeply personal and eye-opening story of transformation. Benjamin opens up about what it truly means to heal—and how the journey inward is often the most powerful one.
“I had a double life,” Benjamin says. “I was working professionally in wellness, but I was partying hard, numbing myself with alcohol, cocaine, and casual sex.” His honesty pierces through the cultural norm of men suffering in silence. “Depression in men doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like being the life of the party.”
Now in his 40s, Benjamin is living proof of what holistic wellness can look like when it’s embodied. He is building community through Bro Retreats. It is a Sweden-based program designed to help men heal trauma. It helps them reconnect with their bodies and talk openly about the pressures of modern masculinity.
“I finally had to face myself,” he shares, reflecting on the moment he hit rock bottom. That reckoning led him to Peru. Psychedelic therapy for depression helped shift his inner narrative and open new doors to healing. In this conversation, Benjamin and I explore the tools, mindset, and courage it takes for men to rewrite their stories.
Starting with the Basics: Holistic Wellness for Men
“Holistic wellness isn’t just about working out. It’s about sleep, food, connection, movement, and emotional release,” Benjamin explains. He emphasizes four key pillars for building a foundation of health. These include consistent sleep, strength training, walking 10,000–15,000 steps daily, and adequate protein intake.
These simple habits help men reconnect to their physical selves. It is crucial in a world where male burnout and emotional numbness are increasingly common. “Start small,” he advises. “Even just walking daily can shift your entire mental state.”
Benjamin encourages men to take action without overthinking. “Analysis paralysis is killing progress,” he says. “You don’t need a perfect gym plan. Just do ten pushups at home. It’s about priming the pump.”
