Guest Jonathan Mayo
Let the healing begin.
What does healing look like for a man after divorce?
How does faith survive when love fails — twice?
On this deeply personal episode of It’s Been a Journey, I had a powerful conversation with Jonathan Mayo — professional barber, radio host, author of More Than a Barber, and podcast creator of Black Man Speak. But tonight, he didn’t show up with clippers or a mic. He showed up with honesty, vulnerability, and experience.
Jonathan is a two-time divorcee, and in this episode, he opens up about the emotional toll divorce takes on men — especially when they’re taught to suffer in silence. We talk about how faith gets tested, how failure feels when it’s public, and how purpose can still be discovered in the ruins of a broken marriage.
If you’ve ever wondered what men feel but rarely say when a relationship ends, this episode will open your eyes — and maybe even your heart.
💬 In This Episode, We Discuss:
- The silent pain men carry after divorce
- How spiritual shame affects healing
- Identity crisis and masculinity in broken relationships
- Finding purpose beyond the titles of “husband” and “provider”
- Rebuilding faith after emotional failure
Jonathan doesn’t just tell his story — he invites us into his process. It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s needed.

✨ Final Thoughts
This episode is more than a conversation — it’s a call to unmask. Whether you’re a man silently carrying the weight of disappointment or a woman trying to understand the emotional landscape men rarely share… this episode is for you.
Divorce doesn’t define you. Failure doesn’t finish you. And healing is still holy — even when it begins in broken places.
