Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

Case Study: How to Handle Co-parenting After Divorce


Listen Later

What happens when the family you imagined doesn’t turn out the way you planned? How do you navigate single parenting while ensuring your children thrive in both homes? Today is a heartfelt episode where I sit down with Beth, a fellow single mom, to discuss the challenges and triumphs of raising kids post-divorce, co-parenting, and creating a nurturing environment without letting conflict define the journey.


As a mother of two teens and someone who’s experienced the highs and lows of divorce, I share with Beth some personal insights on how empathy has been the cornerstone of my parenting approach. Together, we talk about the pain of missing out on moments in our children's lives and how to handle those difficult emotions while staying connected to our kids. 


No matter where you are in your parenting journey—whether newly separated or a seasoned single parent—this episode offers a compassionate perspective on creating a supportive, loving environment for your children, even when the family structure changes.


In This Episode:

  • Navigating single parenting post-divorce
  • Importance of empathy in co-parenting
  • Managing emotions when kids are with your ex
  • How to handle missing out on special moments
  • Using play as a tool for emotional release
