Watch this episode on YouTube:  


Mindfulness is a powerful tool for navigating high-conflict coparenting dynamics. In this episode, we talk with Karen Kranbuehl — a licensed clinical social worker and attorney — about how mindfulness can help coparents move from automatic, stress-driven reactions to more intentional and productive communication.

Learn how slowing down, being curious, and embracing non-judgmental awareness can unlock better outcomes for both you and your children.

Topics covered include:

  • What mindfulness really means
  • The science behind automatic stress responses
  • Real-life examples of mindful coparenting
  • Why noticing is the first step toward change
  • How small self-care actions build trust in yourself

This episode is especially helpful for coparents dealing with emotionally charged situations, conflict resolution, or court-ordered communication platforms like parenting apps.

The list of values Karen referenced can be found here:  https://www.actmindfully.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Values_Checklist_-_Russ_Harris.pdf
