Harriet Frost is a force of energy, endurance, and entrepreneurial grit.  From completing the notorious Arc of Attrition 100-mile ultra twice, to directing multiple trail races, to co-founding a menstrual cup company focused on sustainable period care for athletes — Harriet is redefining what it means to pursue hard things, in business and on the trail. In this episode, Harriet shares her journey from growing up in Cornwall to discovering a love of endurance sport later in life — despite hating running at first. With no formal coaching, she's built her own training strategy based on experience, discipline, and gut instinct — and it's taken her to the finish lines of some of the UK's most brutal ultra events. We also dive into the founding of Sea+Flo, a period care company created by women, for women, aiming to empower people to better understand and manage their menstrual health during sport. Harriet speaks candidly about the mental strength required to train alone, run in the dark, and manage periods while racing, as well as her mission to bring more female voices to the forefront of adventure and endurance media. This is a conversation about grit, vulnerability, and showing up — again and again — even when the path ahead is long, muddy, and uncertain.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

What if you could be a great co-parent without pretending to be friends?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions about healthy co-parenting: the idea that you have to be friends with your ex. Spoiler: you don't. In fact, forcing a friendship that doesn't feel safe or authentic can leave you exhausted, resentful, and second-guessing your boundaries.   I share what healthy co-parenting actually looks like (hint: it's not curated for Instagram), how to define your role without compromising yourself, and why emotional neutrality is the real gold standard—not forced closeness.   Resources Mentioned: Sign up for ReNewU waitlist to get early access: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist Nail Your Niche: https://ambershaw.samcart.com/products/nail-your-niche   What I Discuss: Do you actually need to be friends with your ex?  The pressure to perform peace and the rise of curated co-parenting  Why friendship is optional (and functional is enough)  What social media doesn't show you about co-parenting dynamics  How to define success as a co-parent without overextending yourself Boundaries, guilt, and knowing when you're doing too much  Why emotional neutrality, not closeness, is the goal in co-parenting   Key Takeaways: “You don't have to be friends with your ex to be a great co-parent.” – Amber Shaw “Emotional neutrality is the goal—not forced closeness.” – Amber Shaw “Just because it looks peaceful on Instagram doesn't mean it's healthy in real life.” – Amber Shaw   Find more from Amber: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@msambershaw

They explore the need for adapting parenting plans, the importance of extracurricular activities, managing playdates, and the complexities of finances and allowances. They also touch on the role of technology in parenting, encouraging children to advocate for themselves, and the significance of building a supportive co-parenting community.

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.
