"Where You Left Them" is our weekly podcast.
We are back with Season 2, and we'll be releasing new episodes every Friday.
In every episode, we tell a real story submitted by a listener or one of our social followers. You'll hear our reactions and Harry's advice before we move on to discussing our recommended tool of the week. Finally, we'll answer your quickfire questions, so do submit them here or on our social media channels.
Listen here, watch the full episodes video on YouTube, and have your say too!
We’ll see how complicated life can be for everyone. We’ll see that there’s always hope. And we’ll see that there’s a lesson in every story for our own lives.
I'm Harry - I started dadhugsforyoursoul on the morning of 13th February 2025, an hour after having the idea. I've been through some extremely challenging times and am proud to have done 'the work' and come out of the other side, happier, healthier and more peaceful. Now I want to reach as many people as possible to help them to do the same. I believe strongly that time is not actually a healer - Work is. I built this entire channel, business and following on the principle that it provides everything that I so desperately needed back then - it's not passive advice, it's active healing and tools. Big Hug
I’m Emma and am so happy to be involved with dadhugsforyoursoul. Harry and I have staggered through some breakups together and I was fortunate to have benefited from his straightforward, unflinching advice just when I needed it. I think I’m still “doing the work” after some huge life changes so I’m right alongside and among you with all of it. I find your stories everything from heartbreaking to inspiring and familiar. So: know that you’re not alone - I’m honoured to be walking this path with you.
This is an episode that many of you will relate to. A story on the intersection of menopause and manosphere, and more generally the impact of menopause on relationships.
It’s raw and real, and the issues raised had Emma emotional - these issues are very familiar for so many people - we’re going to cover menopause and it’s effect on relationships on the channel and in work Harry is doing this Spring
We discuss the shock of small reveals - how a sentence uttered over dinner, amongst friends can shake your understanding of how well you know your partner of decades. The loss of the person you originally met - and how to find them again.
The situation for Helen is recoverable, we believe. It’s tough and it will take softening on both sides….and no small amount of forgiveness and understanding. Her partner’s awareness that something needs to change, that something has been lost, is a good place to begin the repair if they want to move forward together.
As we always say, if you’re having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you. Because you can and will survive, heal and thrive.
Everyone who appears on our podcast can take positive steps forward, and so can you.

Well what a story. I gave related quite strongly with a few of your recent stories - with this one it was the menopause part that hit me.
I went into peri menopause in 2022 - I didn't kniw what was happening to me, I feel like it was the invasion of the body snatches. It put so much pressure on the relationship, I lost confidence both mentally and physically.i lost my libido, I became even more anxious and even suicidal some days. I didn't know what was happening to me.
My soon to be ex husband (he left me for a younger model) was no support whatsoever. I get he was scared and provably didn't really jniw how to handle this woman that one day was sobbing uncontrollably one minute to being so angry and inpatient the next. He lost his twmper with me, told me I was crazy and needed to go to the doctors and go back in 'my happy pills'! I felt like I was losing it and the man who was supposed to love me pushed me further and further away.
Luckily my mum HD seen the Davina programmes and some of what I was saying seemed familiar. I saw an excellent doctor and I am now finally a little more balance on my HRT.
I think it puts a huge pressure on the relationship and I think for me I was struggling and could no longer hold everything together as I had always done. But the eye rolls, the impression that he gave that maybe I was being over dramatic and his lack of wanting to learn more and get curious with me jut de everything 10 times worse.
It is a tough time for both in the relationship but I do feel any help / indormation around this time and hiw to navigate it together would be invaluable.
It does make me feel a little more vulnerable going forward Nd potentially into another relationship as physically I am concerned around intimacy but I kniw the right person will understand.
Love your podcasts and the relationship you guys have. You make me feel seen and heard and normal! Big hug!
Please excuse the many typos! I'm on my phone!
