During divorce it’s tempting to impose our opinions on our kids — but what they really need is space to process their own feelings

In this episode, divorce coach Kristen Noel guides you through the important topic of prioritizing your children's true needs during and after divorce. She underscores the negative impact of parents imposing their opinions on their kids or using material goods as a way to compensate for guilt or conflict. Through a compelling story shared by a mother, you’ll understand the importance of keeping children out of parental conflicts, maintaining a supportive and loving environment, and the value of joint gestures by both parents. Kristen also offers advice on how to support your kids in expressing love for both parents, despite the divorce, and encourages fostering a cooperative co-parenting relationship (difficult as that may feel at the moment!). She concludes with resources for mothers facing divorce, including a free divorce workshop and a strategy call, to equip you with the knowledge and support needed to navigate divorce constructively.
