What if you already have the power to protect your children after separation, but no one's ever told you? In this revealing conversation, Principal Coach and Director of Danielle Black Coaching, Danielle Black, welcomes Specialist Coach Trudie Hargrave to share insights from both their professional expertise and personal journeys through high-conflict separations.

From lighthearted coffee preferences to profound reflections on advocacy, this episode peels back the curtain on what makes these coaches uniquely qualified to support protective parents. Trudie's candid admission - "I now see that power lays with you right from the beginning" - challenges the common belief that parents must wait for court permission to act in their children's best interests.

The discussion explores how one-on-one coaching creates a container for the emotional turmoil of separation, allowing clients to maintain healthier relationships with friends and family while developing the capacity to advocate effectively. Both coaches emphasise that early intervention and advocacy lead to better outcomes, something they wish they'd understood sooner in their own journeys.

 The conversation also introduces their comprehensive Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™, designed as a living resource parents can return to throughout their journey.

Whether you're just beginning to consider separation or deep in the court process, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and emotional validation. As Trudie poignantly reflects, "I wish I had given myself permission that it's okay to reach out for support, that I deserve support through it."
