He reveals the counterintuitive emotional strategy that helped him heal—“act” the happiness you’re aiming for until it grows roots. You’ll gain a new way to see divorce—not as an ending, but as a hard pivot that changes (not erases) relationships.We also cover:The turning point when his 12-year-old son moved in and reignited his desire to build a partnership again.Opening his heart to a second marriage—how shared culture and years of friendship made it feel easy this time.What vulnerability really means—and why he sees marriage as armor, not exposure.The behind-the-scenes work: spiritual realignment, community support, and leadership.His wider mission to unite and inspire the Congolese community through “Community Dreammakers.”This episode is a must-listen for divorced fathers, Black men navigating co-parenting, and anyone seeking hope and direction after a painful ending.📌 Part 1 focused on navigating divorce, co-parenting, and protecting your children’s emotional well-being.📌 Part 2 dives into what comes after—love, purpose, and legacy.Leave a comment, share with someone who needs this, and remember:Guest: Ange MukadiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/amukadiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/angemukadi/CHAPTERS-------------------00:00 Intro03:14 Career Under Pressure20:32 The Moment of Shift27: 27 Love After Loss 56:07 Wisdom for the Wounded 57:25 Congolese Community01:13:31 Outro-------------------Follow me:Instagram: www.instagram.com/your_neighberhood_therapist/Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@urneighberhoodtherapistLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/yvesmukanya/Website: www.yvestmukanya.com
