If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “My life will only improve when my ex changes,” this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Danielle unpacks one of the most common - and painful - thought errors that keeps protective parents trapped in reactivity: believing peace will come only when the other parent behaves differently. 

You’ll learn why waiting for change keeps you powerless, what true emotional and what emotional and nervous system capacity really means.

This episode covers:

• Why your wellbeing can’t depend on your co-parent’s behaviour
• The difference between performance calm and genuine regulation
• How to stop fighting reality and start creating stability for your children
• A real-life story of transformation that proves peace is possible without external change

If you’re navigating a high-conflict separation or parenting alongside a difficult ex, this episode will help you understand what actually changes your life - and what doesn’t.
