Their conversation is both moving and insightful, offering valuable perspectives whether or not you've personally been affected by divorce.

Welcome to the Moving On Method®, formerly known as The Moms Moving On Divorce and Co-Parenting Podcast. Navigating divorce as a parent can be tough. Navigating co-parenting as a divorced parent can be tougher. Welcome to the Moving On Method® podcast, a place where the realities of divorce and single parenting meet educated and informed insight, hosted by me, Michelle Dempsey-Multack, educator, co-parenting and divorce specialist, bestselling author, the founder of the Moving On Method®; a method of helping parents give their children a co-parented experience they won't need to recover from.  In this episode, Michelle and co-host Jess Evans will look back to 2022 and take listeners on a journey through the evolution of the Moving On Method®. We look forward to inviting experts in the field to continue to bring knowledge and understanding to anyone going through divorce, single or co-parenting. Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle's assistant and lead coach at the Moving On Method®. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn't always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents. As a coach, Jess is passionate about empowering her clients and helping them move on emotionally after the divorce is final. She works closely with her clients to help them find new ways to fill their cup as they enter the world of co-parenting. She also enjoys working with clients to create a child-centered parenting plan that is fine tuned to avoid any grey area. If you are looking for support during or after the divorce, Jess would be honored to work with you. Find Jess on Instagram: @mmocoachjess Learn more about your ad choices.

It's said that Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Doesn't that describe our culture? A culture that's hooked on comfort and so void of meaning. But thankfully, Dr. Andrew and Sarah Swafford have a solution to that problem. In this episode, we discuss:What holds us back from lives and relationships full of meaning?What's needed to live a life of meaning and happiness?How do we navigate the dating scene today?How can you heal your brokenness?If you've ever felt that ache of wanting more from life, don't miss this episode.Buy the Book: Gift & Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and RelationshipsDonate to RestoredMeet with Joey for Restored's Donor PitchVisit Dakota Lane FitnessShownotes

In another episode in the parenting plan disaster series, Diane & Rick review Camile's parenting plan language about 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends. They discuss the problems with wording that seems fair in its attempt, but destined to create all kinds of unnecessary conflict. They provide a definition of “good faith” that would confuse the most astute legal scholar. Diane also shares her “Five Parenting Plan Commandments”. This episode is sponsored by SoberLink.
