Splitting Christmas, birthdays, and the big holiday moments can be one of the hardest parts of co-parenting. In this episode, I share how we handle it, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and how I’ve learned to let go of perfection while still making it magical for the kids. Whether you’re facing your first shared holiday or trying to find a better balance, this one’s for you.
Divorce comes with a grief no one prepares you for. It’s not just the end of a relationship, it’s the loss of the life you imagined, the routines, the dreams, the identity. In this episode, I talk about what that grief really feels like, how it showed up for me, and why i am not celebrating. If you're in it, you're not alone,this one is for you!
This week, I open up about what it’s really like on the weeks I don’t have my kids — the silence, the freedom, the guilt, and the fear of what would happen if that ever changed. From learning how to sit in the quiet to worrying how I’d cope being full-time again, this episode is raw, reflective, and honest about the emotional side of co-parenting that no one really talks about.
School holidays as a co-parent can feel like chaos — juggling schedules, overstimulated kids, and the pressure to create magical memories.

If your holiday feels more meltdown than magic, this one's for you.

Let’s talk about flexibility, boundaries, and learning to roll with it (even when it sucks).
