Podcasts about Coparenting

In this episode, Behk and LAH sit down to share the heartbreaking and harrowing story of Veronika—one of LAH's friends—who has endured a lifetime of high-conflict men, beginning with an emotionally abusive father. That pattern carried into adulthood, culminating in an abusive relationship with the father of her three children.Veronika's experience goes beyond emotional and psychological abuse—she was drugged, raped, and manipulated by her partner, a man who continues to torment her through the legal system. Despite her attempts to create a peaceful co-parenting plan for the sake of their children, he weaponizes the court system to try and strip her of her parental rights. His motivation isn't the well-being of the kids—it's control.Join us as we explore the trauma of abuse that doesn't end when the relationship does, and the ways the family court system can be manipulated by narcissists to further harm survivors. Veronika's strength and clarity shine through in this raw and revealing episode about motherhood, resilience, and the fight to protect your children when the system seems stacked against you.Books Mentioned:How to Kill a NarcissistWe believe in the importance of sharing stories and talking about trauma.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The irreplaceable human element of divorce coaching remains vital in an increasingly AI-driven world, with experienced coaches providing emotional intelligence and authentic connection that technology cannot replicate. We explore why artificial intelligence tools can supplement but never substitute the nuanced support, personalized guidance, and trauma-informed approaches that human coaches offer during life's most challenging transitions.• AI tools can help with administrative tasks but cannot read subtle emotional cues or provide genuine human connection• Experienced coaches draw from personal and professional knowledge to offer nuanced advice tailored to individual values and situations• "Compassionate boundaries" balance validation with accountability when emotions cloud judgment• Real-time adaptation allows coaches to pivot instantly when clients face unexpected developments• Trauma-informed approaches help coaches recognize signs of abuse that AI might miss• The coaching relationship itself models healthy communication and boundary-setting for future relationships• Technology works best as a supplement rather than a replacement for human coachingJoin us on July 23rd when Anne Wintemute from AmieeSays will join us to explore AI-driven tools for those in unhealthy relationships.

In this episode, we sit down with Blake Moody  a guy who's been through the fire and came out the other side. Blake opens up about the wreckage of divorce: what went wrong, what it taught him, and how he's rebuilding life on the other side with more emotional intelligence and clarity. We get into the real stuff  the breakdown in communication, the emotional chaos, and what it's like trying to stay present for your kids while your world is falling apart. Blake doesn't sugarcoat it. He talks about lawyer drama, why mediation is underrated, and how co-parenting can feel like walking a tightrope… blindfolded. Together, we dig into what divorce actually does to a man, why having a solid support system is non-negotiable, and how faith and gratitude can become your lifeline when everything else feels like it's slipping. If you're a dad in the trenches, this one's for you. We break down tools, mindsets, and lessons that'll help you keep your head up  from setting boundaries to letting go of what you can't control.     TheDadLog https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-dadlog/id6744559697

In this episode, I dive into the exhausting reality of co-parenting with a covert narcissist, sharing real examples from my own experience that will sound painfully familiar to anyone in this situation. I break down four key traits that make co-parenting feel impossible: blame shifting, ruining special occasions, chronic unreliability, and weaponizing children's emotions. Through personal stories—from dangerous unsupervised water activities to last-minute schedule changes—I explore how these patterns affect our kids and why speaking up often makes us look like the problem. If you're questioning your sanity while trying to protect your children from a co-parent who appears decent on the surface but leaves chaos in their wake, this episode is for you. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Theodora Antar to the podcast. She is a law student, mother, notary, and nationwide legal advocate based in Connecticut. She is the founder of Pro Legal USA, a platform dedicated to exposing injustice and advocating for families impacted by corruption in the legal system.     Theodora's advocacy is deeply personal. As a mother of two daughters, Angelina (age 5) and Julianna (age 10), she has experienced firsthand the trauma of family court corruption. On May 25, 2023, her youngest daughter was illegally removed from her care in a Connecticut court proceeding overseen by Judge Jane Kupson Grossman, where Theodora was denied due process. Less than a year later, on March 9, 2024, her eldest daughter was taken by Port Authority Police at JFK International Airport after they enforced an unserved ex parte custody order, again issued by the same judge. Theodora has not seen Angelina since March 7, 2024, or Julianna since March 9, 2024.     Her fight for justice began after she reported the sexual abuse of a minor—a disclosure that led to ongoing government retaliation and a campaign of persecution against her by Connecticut authorities. For two years, Theodora has tirelessly advocated for constitutional rights, government accountability, and child welfare, using her legal training and personal experience to support others facing similar injustices.     Through Pro Legal USA and her public advocacy, Theodora works to shine a light on systemic failures, empower other parents, and demand reform in family courts nationwide.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Samantha Boss—divorce coach, parenting advocate, and truth-teller behind “The Ugly Truth of Divorce.” Samantha shares her raw, unfiltered journey through a high-conflict divorce, co-parenting with a diagnosed narcissist, and the long road to healing—not just for herself, but for her children.  We talk about the parts of divorce no one prepares you for: the manipulation, the guilt, the courtroom chaos, and the silent trauma children absorb when parents are too overwhelmed to see the signs.  This episode isn't just for those navigating divorce. It's a masterclass in emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and reclaiming your parenting power in the face of chaos. If you're struggling to co-parent with someone toxic—or you feel like you've lost yourself trying to keep the peace—this conversation will bring clarity, courage, and hope.

Infidelity can leave deep wounds — but it doesn't have to define your future or your parenting. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to move forward after betrayal, not just for yourself, but for the well-being of your children. We'll talk about why slowing down is the first courageous step — giving yourself space to feel, process, and begin the inner healing work. You'll learn your greatest tool for reclaiming peace, breaking reactive patterns, and building a more grounded co-parenting dynamic. Because healing isn't about pretending the past didn't happen; it's about making sure the past doesn't dictate your future.  I am always here to help you get clarity on the next step in your life, whether that is making a big relationship change, shifting your parenting, or determining what support you need.
