Undeniable Truth

The first Single Man Sleeps.

In this episode, I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of my first night sleeping alone. I talk about the heartbreak that hit me in waves, the temptation to scroll through her social media, and the unsettling realization about the coworker I should’ve been on the lookout for. It’s a raw reflection on wanting her to feel something—anything—just as deeply as I did. But then comes the shift: the unexpected joy that morning brings. There's a certain freedom in bouncing back and rediscovering yourself in those quiet, first light moments. Tune in to hear my journey through the night and the hope that comes with a new day. Thank y'all for listening and sharing. We got a good little community going and I appreciate y'all!! Make sure yall tap in on social media too, @divorceatthirty Stay Black, Stay Beautiful, Stay Dangerous. I've been into alliteration these days so also, Stay Grateful, Stay Golden, Stay Groovy baby lol - Chad X. Ali

The 1st time I cried like a B Word.

In this episode, I dive into one of the most emotional chapters of my life—moving out of the house for the first time. I reflect on the overwhelming experience of packing my things, the bittersweet moments of saying goodbye to a space I once called home, and the heartbreak of holding my dog for the last time. It was a day full of unexpected emotions, raw vulnerability, and learning how to let go. Whether you've gone through a similar transition or just need a place to feel seen/heard, this episode is for you. Join me as I unpack the tears, the lessons, and the healing process. Oh yea, sorry it took so long, life been life-ing, but I gotta do better and I will. I will indeed. Thank y'all for listening and sharing because I've had a lot of conversation with people who have gone through similar things and the transparency is appreciated on both ends! Thank y'all, stay safe, stay black, stay dangerous. - Chad X. Ali

Undeniable Truth

In Episode 2 of 'Divorce at Thirty,' titled 'Undeniable Truth,' we confront the moment when you realize it’s time to leave a relationship—when you find yourself searching for proof that your partner is cheating. It was embarrassing for me, knocking on neighbors doors asking to see their ring cameras...I'm not saying she did have someone in our home, I'm not saying she didn't either, but we'll explore how the emotional toll of living in suspicion can shred the relationship. Also, there is a sense of clarity that comes when you can no longer deny the truth. We also discuss how sharing our stories doesn’t have to harm the other person, but can instead be a way to heal and move forward...intentions.. Join me as we navigate the painful yet liberating path of acknowledging the undeniable. #divorceatthirty #grieftogrowth Connect with us on social media @divorceatthirty Host @achadalistory Music Chad X.

The Beginning of the End

In this episode of 'Divorce at Thirty,' I invite you to walk with me through the memories of a love once vibrant and full of promise. I'll share the story of how I met my ex-wife, the qualities that made me fall in love, and the tender moments that shaped our early years together. But as life unfolded, so did the cracks—subtle at first, deepening as outside influences crept into our relationship, leading us down the path to separation and divorce. This episode is more than just a recounting of events; it's a meditation on the power of art to heal wounds that words alone cannot. As we navigate this journey, you'll hear the soulful sounds of Virgeaux, whose music underscores the themes of love, loss, and the resilience needed to rebuild. This episode is a reflection on healing through art—how creativity became my refuge and a means to process the pain. #Divorceatthirty #GrieftoGrowth Don't forget to connect with us via social media! @Divorceatthirty Host Chad X.
