This week’s episode was an emotional one. We’re talking about what it feels like when the kids go to their other home—and the house goes quiet. From the early days of solo weekends to navigating handovers, guilt, grief, and all the awkward in-betweens, Alex opens up about the hardest part of shared custody: learning how to be on your own again.

We talk about identity loss, those weirdly painful little moments (like brushing hair), and how even years later, the goodbyes can still sting. But we also talk about healing. About rebuilding trust with yourself, rediscovering purpose, and finding the kind of peace that doesn’t rely on noise or chaos to feel whole.
