This is the episode for every protective parent. I walk you through what fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses look like in your child, why they experience these responses and how you can help them navigate them. 

This is a short but incredibly impactful episode designed to educate and empower you. 

Want to learn how I help protective parents, just like you, navigate this insanity?

In this episode, I talk to the amazing Sami Bachota, of Informed Healing. She tells us how she got into the work of helping survivors and we delve into her story. Married for only 10 months, but in and out of court for over 3 years. 

But, despite what her ex continues to do, drag her back to court and use the system to control her, she has built a life she loves.

This is a must listen to episode for every survivor of abuse.

In this episode, we talk about how so many protective parents feel like they are David, up against Goliath. Spoiler alert: David won, against every single odd, by not playing the way Goliath expected him to. 

A must listen for every protective parent navigating this all.

In this episode, we talk about the various forms of grief that so many protective parents feel and experience post separation. It's a powerful reminder that grief and joy can coexist and that just because you carry grief, doesn't mean you can't experience true happiness, peace and joy.

This is the very first instalment, or chapter, if you will, of my latest podcast within a podcast. Story Time with Chantal features the real life, can't make this shit up, stories from people just like you. I narrate them in the first person, using me/I, my children, my ex, but these are not my stories, they are yours. I do change some identifying markers, to keep you all safe from your ex's scrutiny. 

And reminder- that men and women can be victims, which also means, that men and women can be abusers, liars, stealers and cheaters. 

I hope you enjoy!

This is such an important episode that focuses on the importance of teaching our children to be discerning and critical thinkers. While it's imperative for all children to learn these skills, it is never more so than for children who are being coercively controlled. 

Narcissistic abuse depends on control of the narrative, critical thinking restores ownership of the narrative.

I'll be hosting a free masterclass on this very topic, for all protective parents, in the next few months- so please stay tuned to my social media or sign up for my free weekly newsletter, to get the details for that, when it launches.

In today's episode, I talk to he amazing Sarah Delamarter, who combines her vast knowledge of scripture with divorce. We talk about all things divorce, leaving toxic/abusive marriages, what Christ has to say about this, and how you can thrive post divorce, despite what your ex does or doesn't do. It's a fun, deep dive into the reality of divorce for those who have been raised to believe that marriage was sacrosanct, and divorce was not an option. You can find Sarah on IG at @sara.delamarter.
