Blended Family Breakthrough

212. 3 Negotiation Strategies to Increase Collaboration and Influence in your Co-Parenting Relationship


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most emotionally charged challenges for blended families: navigating co-parenting dynamics and negotiating with an ex-spouse. 

Whether things are civil or you’re experiencing high levels of tension, we share the three strategies that have changed everything for us and for the couples we coach — Clarity, Communication, and Consistency.

We'll share what’s worked (and what hasn’t), including stories from our co-parenting journey. You’ll hear how Kim learned to lead with respect, even when she felt disrespected, and how we helped one couple shift from chaos to calm by gaining clarity in the values and expectations of their own home.

If you’re ready to show up with more confidence, reduce co-parenting conflict, and build influence, this conversation is for you.  You'll gain hope, practical tools, and encouragement.

You'll Discover:

  • Why clarity in your home's values gives you confidence during tough conversations with an ex
  • The unexpected power of respectful communication (even when it’s one-sided)
  • How consistency in your tone and with your boundaries helps to build trust and increase your influence
  • Actionable steps and communication tips to manage disagreements between you and your ex
  • Why your kids’ emotional security starts with how you show up, not how your ex does
