Michelle and Keena will take a deep dive into:

Co-parenting a child with special needs

Shifting your perspective from "trying to survive" to "thriving"

Learning to set boundaries with your ex's extended family

Realizing that you can still give your children an incredible life

AND MUCH MORE

One of the greatest surprises, and one that was completely unexpected, was who I became in the process. Pain affects us. It makes us compassionate, considerate and more aware. I became all those things. I love who I am today, and you can love the person you become too. I can help you find your way on this journey. - Eykiena Crowley
