Sometimes, it feels like everything has been placed on your shoulders. How are you expected to carry that weight and pay the bills and raise healthy, bright kiddos? I’ve been there! I want to share with you how I learned to manage my unmet expectations, set boundaries, and talk through my own feelings of inadequacy. You are not alone in the journey! Reach out and let’s talk. The dishes can wait! More in this episode: Let’s pick apart the “I’m not Good Enough” Mentality. How to sort through your unmet expectations. Boundaries are a big deal!

Recently, I asked my community for topics that you most wanted me to cover on the show. You have spoken, and I have listened! So many of you in our Solo Parent Community have asked me about how to navigate Co-Parenting. How can we Co-Parent well, while also keeping myself sane? I hear you loud and clear, so today I am excited to bring my experiences and best tips right into your ears. The way I see it, there are two major issues at stake. How can I deal with all the Big Feelings surrounding the separation? How can I deal with Big Feelings surrounding my Ex-Partner? The bottom line to remember is that we are doing this for our kids. How we respond to our Big Feelings will inadvertently give our children a way to manage their own. We want our kids to grow up feeling loved and supported by everyone, including our Ex and any new partners. I know how difficult and isolating it can be to Co-Parent on your own. With that in mind, I want to welcome you to a place of acceptance where your Big Feelings are acknowledged and supported. I appreciate you letting me into your ears today! Happy listening! Also in the show: Ways that you can change your perspective about your Ex-Partner. Communication tools that you can use. A discussion of the Big Feelings that we tend to have when Co-Parenting. It’s all for the kids! How can you refocus to put them first. Tips for In-The-Moment Anger Checks. Text and Email communication tools for writing back to your Ex Healthy ways to handle your hurts.

“When your feelings get big — whether they’re sad, or grief or anger or helplessness — slow down and breathe. Really take a moment. If we respond when we’re feeling really emotional, it may not be the real twist that we wanted to make in the long run. It might feel really good in that moment, but it might not be so helpful in the bigger picture.” — Dr. Robbin Rockett In the middle of divorce, the range of emotions can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we interview Dr. Robbin Rockett, a clinical psychologist who experienced divorce. She discusses how to find a support group, why you need a therapist and ways to take care of yourself during the divorce process. You’re going to want to listen to this episode more than once!

"After divorce or a big life change, whatever it is, and you’re on your own, just take some time to get acquainted, get back with yourself, figure out what you’re doing, what’s important to you, and get up running. That’s really the first place you start before making any rushed financial decisions, because that’s a good way to make a big error without thinking about it.” Marriage over. Divorce papers signed. Money transferred. Rest of your life begins. Now what? One challenge after divorce is figuring out who can help you plan your finances for the rest of your life. There are many different financial advisors (and people who call themselves financial advisors), investment strategies, terminology, and calculations to consider after divorce. How do you begin to make the right decisions? In this episode Shawn is interviewed by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Robbin Rockett, Psy. D, the host of “Solo Parent Life” podcast.

Today on the show Dr. Robbin Rockett has a very special guest. We’re talking about a topic every single parent will have to deal with at some point. We’re talking today about erotic integrity! Dr. Claudia Six has several appellations to her name: Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology, MA in Counseling Psychology, A.C.S for American College of Sexologists certification, and ABS certification #2532 from the American Board of Sexology. She is also a member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists. She was born and raised in France (no French accent at all) and came to the US at nineteen. Her practice includes divorce coaching, Marriage and couples sex therapy, Singles coaching, psychotherapy. Show notes: What does erotic integrity mean? What is the rebound relationship? Don’t misrepresent what you’re looking for In her own words, she is: “…not bound by certain cultural constraints that Americans sometimes struggle with.” One should explore all of what you are as a sexual being Why humans are ambivalent = part of us wants change, and part of us wants to keep things the way they are. Dr. Six believes her role is empowering you to make choices that support what you really want your life to be. Learning from the relationship you’ve been in People should embrace informed choices Erotic Integrity, requires honesty, and the key component of honesty is communication. It is not shameful to confess desire Resources Website: http://www.drsix.net/ Erotic Integrity book: https://www.amazon.com/Erotic-Integrity-True-Yourself-Sexually/dp/1631520792
