Dr. David M. Webb

David M. Webb is an author, podcast host, relationship commentator, and self-described on-the-job expert in surviving divorce. Drawing from his own experiences with marriage, separation, healing, and rebuilding, David helps people navigate the emotional realities of life after a relationship ends—with honesty, humor, and none of the usual sugarcoating. David is the author of ***It’s OK to Hate Your Ex*** and ***Every Day Is Christmas: Divorce Recovery from Another Perspective***. Through his writing, he challenges the idea that healing must follow a neat, predictable path. Instead, he gives readers permission to acknowledge difficult emotions, confront uncomfortable truths, practice self-care, and gradually rediscover who they are outside of a former relationship. As the host of two podcasts focused on helping people survive and thrive after breakups, David creates space for candid conversations about divorce recovery, dating, relationships, co-parenting, men’s health, lifestyle, and personal reinvention. His approach is real, relatable, and often irreverent, using humor to address subjects that are frequently painful, complicated, or avoided altogether. David’s message is not that divorce is easy or automatically worth celebrating. It is that the end of a marriage does not have to mean the end of a meaningful life. By sharing the lessons he has learned through experience, he encourages people to move beyond bitterness, reclaim their identity, and recognize divorce as an opportunity to heal, grow, and begin again. His appearance on **The Lifestrong Project** reflects the theme of the episode, **“Congrats, You’re Divorced!”**—an honest and unconventional conversation about what happens after the paperwork is signed and the real work of rebuilding begins.
