"You can love God, you can go to therapy, you can have a new husband and you can still get a petty text from your ex that will send you, okay?"I used to think co-parenting was for people who failed at marriage... that it was the byproduct of divorce. I now realize that real co-parenting is for people who refuse to fail their kids because you divorce your partner but you don't divorce your children.What does our co-parenting situation look like though? Let me just say it's not what I thought it would look like.Hit play for the real stuff - the court documents, the group chats, the new partners, and how to build a good life even when co-parenting is f*ckd up.Come chat with me over on Threads where you always get spicy Nicole at https://threads.net/nicolewaltersand WATCH the show on YT at http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeEpisode Sponsors:Use code WALTERS at checkout for 15% off your first order at www.vionicshoes.com.Thinking about dating again?

Christmas can be one of the hardest times to co-parent, especially when your ex thrives on control, conflict, or last-minute chaos. As a family lawyer, at this time of year I get asked the same questions every year, around various Christmas disputes separated parents face. From sudden plan changes and silence tactics to withheld handovers, gift battles, excessive FaceTiming, and emotional manipulation through the children.Using real-life examples and years of court experience, this guide explains what the law actually expects at Christmas, how judges view “high-conflict” behaviour, and how to protect your children emotionally while staying calm, child-focused, and legally safe. You'll learn what to do if your ex refuses contact, won't confirm plans, uses Christmas as leverage, bad-mouths you to your child, or tries to control the narrative, and why your response matters more than their actions.If you're dreading Christmas because of a narcissistic or high-conflict ex, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical steps to get through the holidays with your dignity intact and your children protected.

This is part 2 of "Your Child Is Not Your Co-Parent". Ryan and Mike continue examining why popular “gentle” and heavy emotional-validation parenting approaches often backfire for kids with ADHD.

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: There is a GAP in the Systems: Most advice after divorce assumes both parents want peace, but with a toxic or high-conflict ex, there is One parent thrives on Chaos. This gap in the system leaves kids vulnerable to invisible emotional harm unless the healthy parent learns how to shield them. Leading to bleak future outcomes. BIG IDEA #2: The Good News: Resilience isn't luck, it's built. Research shows kids can thrive when the 8 Pillars of Resilience are reinforced, even when a high-conflict parent creates weak spots. It has been shown that One stable, caring adult who knows how to strengthen those pillars can change a child's future for the better. BIG IDEA #3: The How: By combining resilience research with my expertise in child development, behaviour, and the effects of separation and divorce, I provide parents with concrete, practical strategies to counteract the invisible emotional harm toxic co-parents cause. Because almost no real help exists in this area, these tools give parents a way to cut through the chaos and give their kids clarity, stability, and hope.

In this first half of a two-part episode, Ryan and Mike break down why many modern parenting approaches—especially those centered on constant negotiation and seeking a child's input for every decision—backfire for kids with ADHD.

Ep 87: Making Co-Parent WORK   In this emotional episode, Meg opens up about one of the hardest “firsts” of divorce—navigating co-parenting when your little girl starts calling someone else “Mom.” She shares the gut punch of hearing her five-year-old say she doesn't need her at gymnastics, the complicated dynamics with her ex and his new partner, and how reactive abuse and old patterns are still playing out through their daughter.   Carrie holds space as they unpack what's “normal” in blended families, what's petty and hurtful, and what's actually in the best interest of the kids. They talk boundaries, phones, step-parents earning titles, and how childhood wounds—like losing a parent—make these moments cut even deeper.   If you've ever struggled with co-parenting, step-parents, or feeling replaced, this conversation will remind you that your pain is valid—and you're not going through it alone.   Tune in for laughs, girl chat and simple, tangible advice with your besties because we always have your back!

When you've got kids with someone, you need to be able to cooperate. But what do you do if your ex is emotionally unstable/volatile, physically or emotionally abusive, or otherwise difficult?Most partners don't start out that way, of course. As one man put it, it felt more like "the ground could be kind of unstable" in the relationship. Another said, "I was hyper-aware of her emotions all the time, and trying to minimize her upheaval."Maybe the two of you have even tried seeing a couple's counselor. But it didn't work -- or in some cases, even seemed to make things worse. Says one man, "Even in therapy, a lot of it was, ‘You're the cause of this.'"Here, three men share their personal experiences of co-parenting with challenging partners -- women who often have traits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).They go into what it was like being in the relationship, the progression from being a childless couple to having children together, and then the journey out. They share both practical and emotional tips about co-parenting, and offer what they've learned along the way.If you're in this situation, may this help to light the way.Memorable quotes:“She said things like, ‘You have ruined my life, and caused me more trauma.'”“It's hard to see that stuff when you're in it.”“In reality, we just had wounds that sort of fit well together at the time.”“I told myself I had a loyalty to her.”“I had so much fear of, 'What's gonna happen if I actually follow through?'”“At some point I didn't feel safe; I felt threatened.”“What made things better for everyone, including my ex, was strong, healthy boundaries.”---Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men 128: Feel like you're walking on eggshells?

Do the double standards that show up in a narcissistic relationship and “co-parenting” relationship drive you crazy?Double standards are a hallmark of narcissistic abuse and are pervasive even (maybe especially) after you have left the relationship.In this episode we explore why someone with narcissism requires these double standards to work in their world and how the larger system allows and supports them to continue.  We also discuss ways in which you can lessen their emotional impact, decide if and when to engage and point the double standards out, and how best to do this to present as a good “co-parent.”While the double standards will always be a part of any relationship your ex partner has, you can make shifts to not allow it to take so much of your emotional energy.Be sure to listen to Episode 83: Co-Parenting with a Narcissist: Strategies for Modifying the Parenting Plan - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1991648/episodes/14356912-ep-83-co-parenting-with-a-narcissist-strategies-for-modifying-the-parenting-planRegister here for the workshop happening November 11th, 2025 - Family Court Doesn't Have to Break You: Practical and Emotional Preparation for Survivors | https://mailchi.mp/risingbeyondpc/courtprepPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

When a relationship ends, it's not just the romantic partnership that dissolves - it's the version of the life you imagined. For working mums, that loss can feel even heavier. You're juggling career responsibilities, managing the daily needs of your children, and trying to make sense of an entirely new identity. In this honest and practical conversation I chat with family lawyer, author, and co-parent Gabriella Pomare to talk about how working mums can navigate separation, divorce, and co-parenting with grace and clarity. Gabriella shares her personal story of rebuilding life after separation, whilst raising her son, managing a demanding career as a partner in a law firm, and finding a new identity. We discuss: The emotional reality of separation and identity loss How to communicate with your ex without escalating conflict Setting boundaries that protect your peace (and your children) Strategies for reducing the mental load when co-parenting The power of modeling respect and stability for your kids When to seek professional help — and why mediation can work better than court   Resources & Links  Follow Gariella @collaborativecoparent and see her website for free resources thecollaborativeco-parent.com.au and check out her new book "The Collaborative Coparent"  Follow Carina and Working Mumma @workingmummacommunity on LinkedIn and sign up to receive the free newsletter.   

What if the biggest problem in your high-conflict relationship isn't your ex—it's that you keep handing them your power? In this conversation, Amy Armstrong breaks down why conflict is a skill deficit, not a character flaw, and how focusing on what you're willing to do (instead of what the other person is doing wrong) changes everything. In this episode, we cover: → The critical difference between boundaries and requests (and why most people are just begging for change) → Why it only takes ONE person to end a conflict—and how to be that person without becoming a doormat → The uncomfortable truth about drama addiction and stress hormones (are you actually attached to the chaos?) → How to stop reading those texts that ruin your entire day (and why you keep opening them anyway) → The "of course" method for instant self-compassion when you're triggered → Why saying "no" keeps you stuck in resentment—and what to focus on instead   This episode is for you if: You're co-parenting with someone who pushes every button you have You feel like you're constantly defending yourself and still losing You're exhausted from trying to change someone who refuses to change You want your power back but don't know where to start You're ready to stop being a victim to someone else's bad behavior   Amy's approach: Practical, no-BS skills for handling high-conflict relationships without losing yourself in the process.

Today, Mardi Winder welcomes Jenni Rock, an author, speaker, and coach specializing in helping parents recover from toxic co-parenting breakdowns. The discussion focuses on the often-overlooked impact of divorce on children when one parent displays toxic or manipulative behaviors. Drawing from her personal experience, Jenni speaks candidly about the emotional challenges and long-term effects these situations can have on children, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing harmful patterns before they become deeply rooted.Jenni outlines some of the common behaviors parents face in these circumstances, ranging from false allegations to parental alienation and gaslighting, and highlights how children can inadvertently become tools in ongoing conflicts. Throughout the episode, she offers insightful strategies for communication and boundary-setting, advocating for practical approaches such as limited, essential messaging, neutral handovers, and using technology to minimize emotional confrontation.Mardi and Jenni also touch on the delicate balance of honesty and emotional safety when speaking with children affected by conflict and negative influences. Jenni stresses the importance of fostering open dialogue without placing blame, and encouraging children to feel secure sharing their feelings. For parents who have lost access to their children due to toxicity or manipulation, Jenni suggests ways to heal from trauma and stay connected, including keeping a log or email account for messages to be shared later in life.About the Guest:Jenni Rock is a Co-Parenting without Conflict expert with four years of experience. Jenni has been instrumental in helping divorced parents exit toxic relationships and redefine their communication patterns to prioritize the needs of their children. Having gone through a marriage littered with Domestic Abuse, manipulation, gaslighting and coercive behaviour became the norm. Her separation from her ex was very traumatic not only for her but for her son who was age 3 at the time. When Jenni finally instated strong boundaries to protect herself and her son, there was an explosion of abuse which then had to be addressed using Police support and support not only for Jenni but for her son too. Her son became very poorly as a result of the complex PTSD, and Jenni had to contend with trying to work, support her son, and heal herself all at the same time. It's been a journey!For Jenni's gift: https://1drv.ms/w/c/ca499b89cefc9e76/EZ9CMPRD17lBtOK8AxpIX7ABMNaVWCpnSLViwuf01kxdow?e=1NprJnTo connect with Jenni:Check out my webinar: https://pages.coparentingwithoutconflict.com/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenni-rock-uk-s-leading-parental-alienation-and-coparenting-breakdown-specialist-293768b2/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090676011227About the HostMardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

My guest this week is entrepreneur Nicky Wake. Nicky's story of grief and love and parenting is one that I was immediately inspired by when I first heard it. After meeting her soulmate Andy Wake back in 2002, Nicky went on to live her best life, and after a long journey to conceive, welcomed a baby boy called Finn. When Finn was just 9 years old, his dad, Nicky's soulmate Andy, had a heart attack that would leave him in a coma and then in round-the-clock care until he eventually passed away back in 2020, when Finn was just about to enter his teenage years. Parenting is challenging enough, but with her own grief and her son's to deal with, Nicky faced a period of intense darkness which resulted in struggling with alcoholism and going into rehab. Her son, just on the cusp of his 17th birthday, told her that getting sober would be the best gift she could give him. So that's what she did. Nicky is now sober, running multiple businesses, and channeling her grief and her pain into positivity by uniting other widows and widowers to help them bond and find love again, moving forward – but not moving on – through it all. This is a captivating story and Nicky's positivity throughout is really something to behold. I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
