Picture this...You’re sitting with your friends…other moms, who have gone through a divorce or are contemplating. Who maybe didn’t picture their lives co-parenting, but are there with you. You are sharing your stories, you are inspiring each other, validating and challenging each other through your shared experiences. You are belly laughing, tearing up, and enjoying your favorite cup of coffee all at the same time. You don’t judge each other, you empower each other to continue on your journey, to heal, and to just be you whatever that looks like. Welcome to Co-parenting and Coffee.

A Conversation About Coercive Control

This very special episode covers an important and serious topic: coercive control, a form of domestic abuse. Our Coffee Date today is with advocates Larissa Crane, MSW, LICSW, MRT and Hilary Purtell. We will explore what coercive control is, how to recognize it, and what to do if you or someone you love is in a relationship with a coercive controller. Even if you have not experienced coercive control, this is a must-listen to know how to recognize it, either for your future self, or to know what to look for as you support friends and family going through a challenging relationship.
