As humans, we all have a "monkey mind" and the loudest monkey is the one that is based in Fear and Worry. 

In today's CoParent Courage episode I talk about ways that we can turn down the volume on this monkey mind and offer a great exercise that I do to be able to get clarity for any situation quickly.

In this episode I give examples of how culture and "the world" at large veneer's things in order to market to us. I take on fake food, pornography, the local "news" and debt - providing a different perspective than what we've been told these things are.

It's not the truth, but rather another set of "glasses" in which to view the world.

Holding Space is a concept that I've explored for awhile, with some really powerful results.

It's really the combination of Practicing Kindness, Allowing Expression, Being Present, Practicing Non-Judgement and Not Trying to "Fix" your CoParent.

The reason this is important is because it allows you to get a deeper understanding and cycle of trust from your CoParent.

Dating and Sex can potentially be touchy subjects but they don't need to be.

No one can replace a child's Parent - regardless of how awesome that someone they are dating appears to be.

I talk about Stories and how we add our own meaning on to events that really didn't happen.

I discuss how to set boundaries that make sense for both you and your Partarent without being intrusive on their love life and giving you the assurance that your kids are going to come first.

The quote "You can't learn to surf by reading a book" inspired today's CoParent Courage Podcast where we take a look at Wisdom - knowledge combined with experience and how we can create this in our CoParenting lives.

I make an App recommendation that has greatly assisted me in getting habits and routines handled in my life and I show you how to use it.

Culture is a very abstract term, but being in control of the things you CAN control is very important. In this CoParent Courage episode I talk about Habits, Routines and Rituals as they apply to your current family.

More importantly, I drill down on specific areas in this very nebulous sounding term of "culture". 

I then do a deep dive into Time and present a new concept of time that can potentially change your life and how you view the world.

In this episode I talk about how the idea of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" (having two fathers while growing up) influence us. This is followed by a series of questions to ask yourself and your CoParent to get consistency between CoParent homes. 

These questions center around Meals, Routines and Consequences.

In today's CoParent Courage Podcast I talk about the difference between Choice and Decision, how something subtle and create vastly different results.

With focus and attention being a "new currency", it sometimes feels like we're at a new level of distraction at all times. Today I answer a question from a fellow CoParent about how much screen time is too much and how to get your CoParent to "pay attention" to you when they are constantly on their phone.

Our "goal" as parents is to raise responsible adults. Along the way we are given a choice of how we spend our time with our children.

Ultimately, we want what is best for them and in today's episode I explore Engagement ("doing with" your child) and Involvement ("doing to" your child). We take a look at what the difference is and why each has a purpose. 

We also discuss space, both from the perspective of when to give it to our children and when to give it to our CoParent.
