153. The Legal Side of Coparenting: Preparing Yourself Emotionally

153. The Legal Side of Coparenting: Preparing Yourself Emotionally

Legal proceedings and mediation can be incredibly stressful, but what most people don't realise is that the emotional side is often harder than the legal side. In this episode, I'm not giving legal advice. Instead, I'm talking about how to prepare yourself emotionally before walking into mediation or any legal process involving your children. We'll cover the importance of compromise, why trying to "win" often backfires, how to keep the focus on your kids, and why confidence, communication and boundaries play such a huge role in the outcome. I'll also discuss some of the common mistakes I see single parents make, including staying silent, people-pleasing, agreeing to things they don't really want, and allowing fear or emotions to drive their decisions. If you're heading into mediation, court, or any difficult co-parenting discussions, this episode will help you feel more prepared, more confident, and more focused on what really matters.

150. Being Painted as the Villain After Your Breakup

This is one of the most gut-wrenching things you can go through in a breakup as a single parent. In this episode, I’m talking about what it’s like to feel villainised by your ex, especially when you know your truth isn’t being seen or understood. I’m unpacking why this can happen, what you need to do when you’re in it, how to get through it, and what actually matters most so you can stay grounded and keep moving forward without losing yourself in the process.

149. The Uncomfortable Truth About Healing

IM BACK!! And I'm taking about Healing. Let's be honest healing is one of those words that gets thrown around aa little too much, but what does it actually mean, especially when you’re going through a breakup as a single parent? In this episode, I’m unpacking what healing really looks like. Because the truth is, healing isn’t always pretty, and it’s not something people naturally lean into. In fact, most people avoid it. But healing isn’t about pretending things didn’t happen. It’s about working through it all so it no longer controls how you feel, how you react, and how you show up in your life. If you’ve been feeling like you keep going around in the same patterns, this episode will give you a different way to look at it and help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. And why healing, even though it’s uncomfortable, is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your future.
