Let's Talk Divorce

School holidays can be one of the most challenging times for separated parents.

From disagreements over holiday dates and routines to missing your children when they're with the other parent, it's a time when emotions can run high and conflict can easily escalate.

In this episode of Let's Talk Divorce, I share practical tips to help you navigate school holiday co-parenting with greater confidence. We talk about planning ahead, communicating more effectively, managing different parenting styles, and the legal position around taking your children abroad, including when you need the other parent's permission.

Whether you're newly separated or have been co-parenting for years, this episode will help you focus on what matters most - reducing conflict and supporting your children through the holidays.

If difficult co-parenting is becoming exhausting and you feel like you're constantly reacting to your ex, my Co-parenting Roadmap provides step-by-step guidance to help you communicate more effectively, set healthier boundaries and take back control.

Episode 1: Why Summer Doesn't Feel Like Sunshine

Summer is often portrayed as a time of family fun, holidays and making happy memories. But for many people navigating separation, divorce or co-parenting, it can be one of the most emotionally challenging times of the year.

In this episode, I explore why the summer holidays can bring extra pressure, from trying to hold a relationship together for the sake of the children to managing holiday arrangements, missing your children when they're with the other parent, and comparing your family life to the picture-perfect moments we see on social media.

I'll also share three simple things that can help you focus on what really matters this summer, for both you and your children.

Whether you're questioning your relationship, going through a divorce or adjusting to co-parenting, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone - and that your children don't need a perfect summer, they need a connected one.
