Divorce can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing—especially when you don’t even know what questions to ask yet. In this episode of Divorcing Strong, Becky Sampson (Bulldog Becky Brochovich) sits down with Rob, a divorced dad of three and the founder of WTF Divorce—a fast-growing online community and directory built to help people feel less alone and find trusted divorce resources in one place.

Rob shares how his own divorce (with three young kids and the world shutting down during the pandemic) pushed him from “I have no idea what I’m doing” into becoming a connector—curating professionals, bite-sized Q&A podcast episodes, and relatable content that uses humor as a bridge to support people through divorce, co-parenting, and dating after divorce.

Becky and Rob also talk candidly about why divorce often hits men differently, what many women experience in the “do I stay or do I leave?” stage, and why self-care, boundaries, and community matter more than ever during this season.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Rob went from poker pro / marketing guy → building WTF Divorce after his own divorce Why divorce can feel so isolating (and why “your married friends don’t get it”) How humor helps people cope and connect—and then find real help when they need it What most people are really searching for at the start: answers, speed, clarity, and not feeling alone Why divorce can be emotionally harder for men (support gaps, fewer outlets, feeling blindsided) Co-parenting with young kids: recalibrating expectations and learning on the fly The post-divorce growth muscles: boundaries, discomfort tolerance, and hard conversations Why having a directory of vetted pros + short video intros makes it easier to choose support

Mentioned in the episode:

WTF Divorce Directory: wtfdirectory.com (also referenced as “the WTF directory”) Rob created it so people can watch quick videos, get a feel for a professional, and reach out for consults—without spending hours researching.
