  • Very helpful, useful, and positive

    For me, this podcast, the resources through the app, and especially the community that Jude has built have been so valuable. Some episodes really resonated with where I was, and gave me better perspective. Other episodes are still thoughtful, positive and leave me in a better place

  • Extremely helpful!

    Listening to this pod has been extremely helpful. The information discussed here seems to be common sense but as a man experiencing a long, drawn out, and ongoing divorce the tools presented here I have found to be very beneficial and highly recommend this podcast for all fathers going through divorce.

    I am interested in being a part of the dadvocate chapter in the Denver Metro area. How can I find out more information about doing so?

    I listened to the podcast today for the first time today. I enjoyed the flow of it. Easy listening and beautiful energy while speaking about the sometimes-difficult topic of divorce. Thank you.

    By the way I’m a fan of Akira the Don’s music too.
