************************************************************************************* Ever wonder if you’re breaking the generational cycle of pain, or just barely keeping your head above water as you parent through divorce?
If you’re in the chaos of post-divorce parenting—where emotions explode, loyalties get tangled, and everyone tells you how you “should” handle your children’s pain—you’re not alone.
Most of us never learned how to hold our kids’ big feelings and our own; we just want our children to feel safe and stay connected, even as we’re rebuilding life from the ground up.
You’ll walk away from this episode with a fresh understanding of:
- What “emotional safety” actually means for kids navigating divorce (hint: it isn’t about keeping things calm or perfect)
- Concrete, nervous-system-friendly techniques for co-regulating with your child through meltdowns and chaos.
- Powerful, real-world scripts for making deep repairs when you inevitably get it wrong.
Press play now to discover how you can show up—imperfectly, vulnerably, and powerfully—for your child, and yourself, during your messiest seasons.
