What if the system meant to protect women and children during divorce is actually empowering their abusers?

In this eye-opening episode, Heather Quick is joined by Dr. Christine Cocchiola and Amy Polacko to unpack the devastating realities of coercive control, toxic co-parenting, and the family court system’s shocking failure to protect survivors. If you’ve ever felt unheard or powerless during a custody battle, this conversation will resonate deeply—and offer real-world guidance.

• Learn how coercive control operates behind the scenes in courtrooms—and why it’s so hard to prove.
• Discover why many women are financially, emotionally, and legally trapped post-divorce.
• Get empowering tools and insights from two survivors who are turning their pain into purpose and advocacy.

Hit play now to hear real stories, actionable advice, and the truth every woman needs to know before stepping into family court.
