"I felt powerless, broken, and forgotten—like I was living below the line."
Lee Davy, the host of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, shares a raw and heartfelt journey in this episode, "Divorced, Powerless, and Drowning? Learn the Line That Saved Me". Lee paints a vivid picture of his life post-divorce, finding himself back in his childhood bedroom at 35, grappling with feelings of invisibility and failure. This episode is a lifeline for divorced parents—especially dads—who feel they've lost more than just a partner.
Lee introduces the concept of 'The Line', a framework from the Conscious Leadership Group that helps individuals understand their emotional state and reclaim control over their lives. Above the line lies self-energy, characterised by calmness, curiosity, and compassion. Below it, one may find victim consciousness, marked by blame and survival mode. Lee's personal story is not only compelling but also offers practical advice for those feeling trapped in their own silence.
Through the Strive Method, Lee encourages listeners to recognise when they're living below the line and provides tools to climb above it. This isn't just about mindset; it's about survival and transformation. If you're ready to rise above the noise of your struggles and find clarity amidst chaos, this episode offers a pathway to healing and empowerment.
Lee's experiences serve as a beacon for anyone feeling lost in the aftermath of divorce, reminding us all that there's always hope and a way forward.
