EP 194: "They Always Say The Ex is Crazy" Feat. THE EX


Listen Later

You’ve also probably been told that THE EX IS CRAZY…Well lets talk to the ex!

Now we have to navigate the tricky waters of “co-parenting” ourselves. Today's episode of Pivot with Purpose offers a raw and authentic conversation with my special guest, Erica - my son's brother's mom - as we share our personal journey towards co-parenting. Our commitment to nurturing a bond between our boys may have been fraught with challenges, but it has led to a healthy relationship that we're proud to share.

 

A crucial part of our journey involved healing, understanding, and finding common ground. Erica and I don't shy away from discussing the heartache that comes with a complicated family dynamic, and how setting boundaries was key to our healing process. We also break down how we consciously removed chaos from our lives, each taking our unique path towards growth and strengthening our resolve to foster a positive environment for our boys. You'll learn how we both have grown from our past experiences, and how they shaped the women we are today.

 

Lastly, we will explore the power of generosity and the joy of utilizing our unique gifts. Drawing strength from the Bible verse Luke 6:38, we delve into how choosing love over hate has been instrumental in our healing process. Erica, now a successful culinary chef, sheds light on her journey and the fulfillment she finds in her work. This episode is a testament to the power of patience, understanding, and mutual respect in co-parenting. So join us for an honest and open conversation about navigating intricate family dynamics.

 

“sometimes when we talk, you relive things, right, but as part of the healing process”

 

“I take things personal and, um, yeah, I gotta know that, um, everything doesn't deserve a reaction”
