In this candid conversation, Becky talks with creator and actor Jimbo Marshall about the hardest decisions he made—and the lessons he wishes he knew sooner. If you’re looking for grounded, real-world divorce advice for dads, this episode delivers practical takeaways on communication, teens, attorney selection, money, and patience. Jimbo opens up about a 17-year marriage, repeating family patterns, and the moment he realized he was giving his daughter advice he wasn’t living himself. He explains why he moved forward, what he’d change (starting with hiring a true family-law attorney), and how to avoid “short-term relief, long-term regret.” For parents, Jimbo shares how he navigated teenage reactions, stayed consistent, and rebuilt trust over time—plus what not to say when you’re tempted to defend yourself. Whether you’re just considering divorce or already in the thick of it, you’ll leave with a clearer playbook: slow down, get educated on your state’s laws, choose counsel you relate to, keep income steady, and keep showing up for your kids.
