You built a life around someone. You built routines, rituals, a future. You built an identity — not just “husband” on paper, but who you actually were in the world. And then she was gone.
Now you wake up and the person looking back at you in the mirror feels like a stranger. The goals that used to drive you feel hollow. You’re not sure if moving forward is even allowed — or whether it would mean leaving her behind.
That is the story this podcast is built for.
Rewrite The Story with Ron Simplified Myers is a weekly coaching podcast for men 40–65 who have lost a spouse or long-term partner and are now trying to figure out who they are without that person. Not grief counseling. Not a support group. A direct, honest, one-on-one conversation with a coach who has studied human behavior since 1987 — and who lost his own partner of 32 years.
Ron knows what it means to watch someone fight. His wife Terri battled cancer for 17 years. Her last words were: “I’m tired. I’m going home.” He knows what comes after. He knows the silence that fills a house. He knows the strange moment when you realize you’ve been so focused on being her partner that you stopped knowing who you are on your own.
He also knows this: you don’t suffer from the event. You suffer from the meaning you attach to it.
And meaning can be rewritten.
That’s not a motivational slogan. It’s the framework — Story → Meaning → Emotion → Behavior → Life — that Ron has used with men to help them stop being trapped by the story that loss handed them and start living the story they were still meant to tell.
What you’ll find here: - Honest, unscripted conversations about identity, purpose, and starting over after 50 - Stories from real men who have walked this road — including Ron’s own - Practical coaching tools you can use the same week you hear them - A space that was built specifically for you — not for a general grief audience, not for couples, not for the young — for the man who built a life around someone and is now standing in the quiet
Every episode drops every Monday morning — early, so it can ride with you on your commute, your walk, or wherever it is you do your thinking.
Ron is not your therapist. He is your guide. And he is walking the same road.
