About Podcast
Children of divorce are 2–3 times more likely to get divorced themselves, and are more likely to struggle with emotional problems, relationship issues, and bad habits. But those stats don't get to write your story. If your parents' divorce or family dysfunction left wounds you can't always put into words, this show is for you.
Restored shares real stories and expert interviews to help adult children of divorce heal childhood trauma, break generational cycles, and build the healthy marriage or relationships you've always wanted.
Each week we go straight at the questions other shows won't touch: how to set boundaries with a narcissistic or unsafe parent, how co-parenting and blended families shape kids into adulthood, what the Catholic Church actually teaches about annulment, why affairs happen and how to affair-proof a marriage, and how to stop repeating your parents' relationship patterns without meaning to.
Ranked in the top 10% of all podcasts and #18 in the divorce category — the only show dedicated specifically to children of divorce — listeners say it's "more effective than 30 years of counseling." You're not doomed to repeat your family's past. You can break the cycle, and we're here to help you do it.
