In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we're reframing boundaries.  Saying no or protecting your peace isn't cruel -- it's courageous.  Boundaries are clarity, kindness, and grace in action.

How do you know if you’re anxious—or just tired, overstimulated, and doing too much?

In this episode, I sit down with psychologist, author, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of Peak Mind -- Dr. Ashley Smith.  We talk about the misunderstood reality of anxiety—especially for parents and co-parents navigating high-stress dynamics.   She challenges audiences to master their minds. Born with a rare vision impairment, she knows firsthand what it takes to break limits and live boldy—and now teaches others how to do the same.

We dive into:

• The difference between stress and anxiety
• What anxiety looks like in moms vs. dads
• How our brains get wired into anxious patterns
• The connection between anxiety, trauma, and other disorders like depression and PTSD
• And how co-parenting stress can make it all feel even heavier

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder—or you’ve just been “holding it together” for so long you forgot what calm feels like—this episode will help you understand yourself and your partner in a whole new light.

Compassion starts with awareness. And today, we’re pulling back the curtain on what anxiety really is.

Greg Aldridge is a third-generation insurance agent, powerhouse speaker, and father of two—but before all that, he was a kid caught in the middle of divorce. In this powerful episode, Greg opens up about how his childhood shaped him—and how he made the conscious decision to parent differently.

We talk about the long-term impact divorce can have on a child’s emotional landscape, how it shows up in adult relationships, and what it means to build something steady when you weren’t raised with it. Greg’s story is a masterclass in intentional fatherhood, personal responsibility, and breaking generational patterns with grace.

Whether you’re co-parenting, step-parenting, or just trying to heal from your own upbringing—this one’s for you.

In this Give Yourself Grace episode, we’re reminding ourselves that healing isn’t a straight line. Some days feel like leaps forward, others like steps back—and that’s okay. Progress is still progress, even when it’s messy.

What do schools see when co-parenting gets messy—and how can we do better?

In this episode, I sit down with Principal Meghan Holt, who brings her full perspective as an educator, a child of divorce, and a two-time co-parent. We talk about how conflict between homes shows up in the classroom, when step-parents should be looped in, and what schools wish all families knew.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of insight for anyone raising kids across two homes.

In this Give Yourself Grace episode, we’re talking about why running yourself ragged isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a fast track to burnout. You can’t show up as the partner, parent, or friend you want to be if you’re running on fumes. These few minutes are your reminder to refill your own cup first—because when you’re nourished, rested, and grounded, you can give your best to the people you love without losing yourself in the process.

When a child lives in two homes, their world is constantly shifting—between routines, expectations, and emotional atmospheres. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sherry Chandy, a child and adolescent psychiatrist with Mosaic Life Care, to explore what that experience is like from a mental health perspective.

We talk about how divided households affect a child’s brain development, emotional regulation, and attachment. Dr. Chandy shares insight on what kids really need from us as parents and co-parents—including how to create consistency, avoid loyalty binds, and respond to behavioral red flags with wisdom, not shame.

We also touch on:

• What to do when it feels like your child is “acting out”
• How to tell the difference between normal frustration and something deeper
• Why seeking help isn’t weakness—it’s protection
• The role of our own healing in showing up for our kids

Whether you’re a parent, bonus parent, or simply someone who loves a child navigating two homes, this conversation will leave you feeling both informed and empowered.

In this Give Yourself Grace drop, we’re talking about the kind of work no one else can do for you—the inner work. The healing, self-awareness, and growth that happen when you stop outsourcing your worth and start showing up for yourself. This is where change begins—not in what you do for others, but in how you tend to your own mind, body, and heart. The best version of you starts from the inside out.

What does "co-parenting" really mean beyond the dictionary definition?  In this episode, I'm joined for the very first time by my sister, Taylor -- who just so happens to share a unique bond with me as a twin mom.  She's the biological mom of fraternal twin boys, and I'm the bonus mom of fraternal twin boys...so twins are all we know!  

Together, she and I unpack the heart of co-parenting -- the messy realities, the every day wins and loses, and how it's about so much more than just splitting time between homes.  We talk about the role of grace, the importance of seeing each other as whole humans (no just "the other parent"), and how raising children in blended families can still be filled with stability, love and teamwork.
