Combative to Collaborative

Looking to turn your co-parenting relationship around? This week we're talking to author Teresa Harlow who wrote a book that focuses on how to turn a combative co-parenting relationship into a collaborative one. She's walking the walk and has researched the topic in depth to bring you actionable insights to try today!

Guest Info:
Teresa Harlow has spent more than 20 years co-parenting and another 30 years in corporate settings building a "can-do" philosophy. She's helped teams and individuals achieve feats they thought were impossible. She says she did this by provoking them to think differently and question limits they imposed on themselves and others.

Treating People Like People

Changing the way we "see" people can shift the kind of relationship we have with them. In co-parenting, this comes into play because there's always something we can be doing better to improve the relationship even if you think your co-parent is the difficult, "high conflict" co-parent.

Guest Info:
Kimberly White is an author and public speaker who focuses on how we can improve our relationships by choosing what we focus on in others. In this episode, Kimberly dives in to her first book called The Shift to illustrate her point that when we "treat people like people" great things can happen inside ourselves and to the relationship dynamic. Kimberly spent nine months of research for The Shift included dozens of hours working alongside nursing home employees in offices, showers, vans, patient rooms, kitchens, and one very creepy basement.

How to Gain Financial Independence After Divorce

Getting your finances in order can be a daunting task, especially after a separation or divorce. In this episode, you'll hear some advice about how to gain financial independence from a financial planner passionate about helping women in transition.

Guest Info:
Rachael Burns is a Certified Financial Planner and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst based in Folsom, California. She is the founder of True Worth Financial Planning, which helps newly single women achieve financial independence after the divorce or death of their partner.

Rachael spent 12 years in ‘traditional’ wealth management before a series of life events re-shaped her career path. Shortly before the birth of her twins, her husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain cancer. With two babies on the way and her husband undergoing cancer treatment, the uncertainty was overwhelming. Planning for her family’s future was next to impossible, but she felt fortunate that her professional expertise allowed her to quickly adapt their financial plan.

Through her own personal experiences navigating grief and finances, she found her calling — to support and empower other women during the most challenging transitions of their lives. In 2020 mid-lockdown, she left the corporate wealth management world and launched her own fee-only firm, True Worth Financial Planning.

Better Therapy for Children of High Conflict Divorce

One woman has taken it upon herself to improve therapy for children of high conflict divorce. She shares her and her children's "terrible" experience with you and then describes how she plans to make it better with in-depth research and going so far as to become a therapist herself.

Guest Info:
Rachel Miller is a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Hold the Vision Therapy in Chicago. She is a PhD candidate at Adler University conducting dissertation research on adult children whose parents had a history of domestic violence and whose divorce and/or custody dispute was high conflict.  Rachel blogs for Psychology Today, is an adjunct professor at Adler University, and  has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Bustle, Fatherly, and US News & World Report.

Rachel is searching for adults who experienced domestic violence as children by one parent towards the other, whose parents’ divorce and/or custody dispute was difficult and/or conflictual, and visitation/parenting time with the violent parent was required. If you can answer yes to the questions below, Rachel would like to interview you via Zoom about your experience.

•Did you witness/experience domestic violence (DV) perpetrated by one parent towards the other in your childhood?

•Did the parent who perpetrated the DV exert power and/or control over the other one?

•Did your parent’s divorce or custody dispute go through the family courts?

•Was the divorce/custody dispute highly conflictual or drawn out for several years?

•Were you required to have parenting time/visitation with the parent who perpetrated the DV?

•Are you between the ages of 26-38? (We will be expanding this to 41 in the next few weeks.)

 Currently, therapists do not know as much as they need to about how to best support children living this experience. Her aim is to gain insight into what these children, now that they are adults, believe was or could have been helpful to them during that time. If you are interested in participating, meet the above criteria, and do not know the researcher personally, please email Rachel at rmiller2@adler.edu.

Reaching Black & Poor Fathers in Co-Parenting

Black parents have some of the greatest need for co-parenting education because 7 out of 10 black children are born to unmarried parents. Yet, according to our guest today, the word "co-parenting" isn't even in the vocabulary of many black parents. We'll discuss the unique challenges of black fathers in co-parenting and why one couple has made it their mission in life to create a bridge for black and poor fathers and mothers to come together to co-parent.

Guest Info: Family expert Jeffery Johnson, Ph.D. and his wife Monica, bring real talk and common-sense advice, for young, never-married, or non-resident parents, on how to begin the important but often challenging work of putting their children’s needs at the center of all decision-making that impacts them.

Voices of Our Children

This week you'll hear from the author of Family Redefined: Childhood Reflections on the Impact of Divorce. The individual stories presented in the book offer insight, hope, and practical tips for anyone who is considering, going through, or has gone through a divorce.

Guest Info: 
Kimberly Ewertz has been a reporter for more than three decades. After twelve years of marriage, in 1990, Ewertz filed for divorce, propelling her and her then ten-year-old son into a journey of irrevocable change. That journey is the impetus for this book. Her message to all parents and children navigating the uncharted waters of post-divorce is one of hope: the road will be long, it will be difficult, but in the end, it will be worth it.
