Almost 50% of Australian marriages end in divorce. But nobody talks about what actually happens after — the financial court battles, the years of limbo where your career stalls, the bills mounting up, the dark days when you genuinely can't see a way forward.
Almost 50% of Australian marriages end in divorce. But nobody talks about what actually happens after — the financial court battles, the years of limbo where your career stalls, the bills mounting up, the dark days when you genuinely can't see a way forward. In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with his old mate Steve — someone he played music with 30 years ago, lost touch with, and only reconnected with recently through Facebook. Steve's story is one of the most honest conversations this channel has ever had. Divorce. Dark days. Financial rebuilding. A Mudgee property on 30 acres that doubled in value. Child support ending and finally seeing a path forward. And a growing passion for mentoring men through some of the toughest moments of their lives. Steve spent years volunteering with a charity that pairs mentors with men going through hard times — sitting with them once a month, listening, helping them realise they're not alone. He also worked inside NRL development programs and saw first-hand what happens to young athletes when their sporting identity suddenly disappears — through injury, through age, through not making the grade. Many of them end up in dark places because nobody ever taught them who they are beyond the game. This episode also gets into the practical side — how Steve used equity from his Mudgee Airbnb property, what the Freedom Fund concept from Lloyd's new book Set for Life looks like in real life for someone rebuilding from scratch, and how to remove emotion from property decisions when you're still carrying the weight of everything that came before. The episode wraps up with Deal or No Deal — three properties all listed as "great investments" on realestate.com.au — a block of four one-bedroom units in Horsham Victoria, a duplex in regional Victoria at $1.2M, and a brand new duplex in Queensland at $1.25M.
