The Only Podcast I Want To Listen To
David M. Webb

When I launched my podcast last month, the working title was 'Divorce Recovery Men Over 40 Podcast.' As a divorced man over 40 myself, I wanted to create a space to discuss the unique challenges we face during this transition. However, over time I realized the title was too limiting and literal. Just because we are men over 40 recovering from divorce, does not mean that fully defines us or the topics relevant to our healing.
So I decided to rebrand with the new name āDonāt Pick the Scab Podcast.' This metaphorical title better captures the mindset many men have after a painful divorce. When we were young boys with skinned knees or elbows, we couldn't seem to let the scab fully form before picking at it again. Though it lengthened the healing process and usually led to re-injury, we did it anyway. In the same compulsive way, men going through the agony of divorce struggle to build back our sense of self before scratching at unresolved feelings about the split. We replay events to assign blame, dwell in anger and regret, or try to numb our discomfort.
The name āDonāt Pick the Scabā is a reminder to men over 40 recovering from divorce that we must discipline ourselves to let our wounds close. We can discuss our injuries but in a healing way, not one that reopens them. This podcast aims to support that complete recovery process.
