As a divorced parent — especially in high-conflict situations — it’s easy to spiral into guilt when you can’t attend every game, recital, or school function. But missing a moment doesn’t make you a bad parent. It means you’re human. It means you're surviving.
In this compassionate and empowering episode, we unpack the most common false beliefs divorced parents tell themselves — and reveal the truth that brings peace, clarity, and perspective. From the fear that your child will think you don’t love them, to the pressure of overcompensating for a high-conflict ex, we’re dismantling the guilt and reminding you: your worth is not measured by your presence at every event.
You’ll walk away with:
Practical language to use with your child when you can’t attend something
Reassurance that your love is built on daily presence, not performance
Tools to resist the toxic pressure to prove yourself
A reminder that self-care, work, and survival are not failures — they’re part of responsible parenting
If you’ve ever beat yourself up for not doing “enough,” this episode is here to remind you that you already are.
