Let’s be real—dealing with an ex is one thing… but dealing with a high-conflict ex? That’s a whole other level of emotional gymnastics.

In this episode, I’m talking all about how to stay grounded, protect your peace, and not let your ex rent space in your head (or your schedule). Whether they’re constantly trying to push your buttons, dragging you into drama, or just refusing to co-parent like an adult—this one’s for you.

We’ll cover:

✨ What not to do when they’re looking for a reaction

✨ Boundaries that actually work

✨ How to shift the power dynamic without stooping to their level

You don’t need to engage in every battle just because they want a war. Let’s talk strategy, mindset, and how to keep your vibe high when your ex is doing the most.

In the middle of heartbreak, it’s easy to let anger, grief or fear drive the decisions you make around custody — but those reactions can come back to bite.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to mentally prepare for the custody process, whether you’re going through mediation, mutual agreement, or the court system. You’ll learn how to separate your emotions from your strategy, protect your kids' best interests, and show up as your best self — not your most reactive one.

As a single parent, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you have to do everything alone. Whether it’s out of pride, fear of judgment, or just being so used to handling things on your own, asking for help can feel uncomfortable—even impossible.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

- Why so many single parents struggle with asking for help.

- The guilt and fear that comes with needing support—and how to let it go.

- How to build a strong support system (even if you feel like you don’t have one).

- Practical ways to ask for and accept help without feeling like a burden.

- How leaning on others can actually make you a stronger parent.

You’re not failing by asking for help—you’re giving yourself and your kids the best version of you. Let’s talk about how to shift your mindset and start receiving the support you deserve.
