Christmas.
The one time of year that should feel magical, but if you’re co-parenting with someone toxic, it can feel like emotional warfare wrapped in tinsel.
You’re juggling the kids’ excitement, court orders, and messages that somehow always land just before dinner. You’re biting your tongue, trying not to break the peace while they’re still finding new ways to twist the knife.
This episode is for the single mums holding it together when it feels like everyone else gets a “normal” Christmas.
We talk boundaries, emotional regulation, and the brutal reality of trying to protect your kids and your peace in a system that doesn’t see the half of it.
You’re not overreacting. You’re surviving a situation that would crush most people, and you deserve tools that help you breathe again.
🎁 Get your calm back:
🧘♀️ The Calm ComeBack Kit (Free) – grounding audios + comeback scripts to keep you centred when messages start flying.
💼 The Safe Parent Vault – your starter kit for post-separation abuse recovery and emotional regulation. (USE CODE: VAULT5)
🛡️ SafeSend.AI – the tool that crafts calm, court-safe replies when your ex tries to drag you back into chaos.
You don’t have to walk on eggshells this Christmas.
You can hold your peace, and still hold your power but only when you learn the skills necessary to do so.
In this episode, we get real about the invisible battles single mamas fight every damn day, the silent struggles, the constant second-guessing, and that draining emotional labour behind every text and message.
Sometimes staying silent feels like the safest move, but honestly? It can do way more harm than good.
Here’s the thing: you don’t have to lose sleep anymore, wondering if your messages are “right” or if you said too much.
With SafeSend, you can finally protect your peace, shut down the overthinking, and handle your communication like a boss.
Tune in to find out how to reclaim your calm, take back control of your convos, and say goodbye to the stress and doubt once and for all.
There’s a difference between being silent and being strategic. In this episode, we dive into the emotional and tactical power of saying less—especially when you’re co-parenting with someone who thrives on chaos, baiting, or control.
Whether it’s a text designed to provoke, a backhanded dig masked as “concern,” or a school gate moment that makes your skin crawl—this episode is about reclaiming your power without ever raising your voice.
You’ll learn:
Why over-explaining never works with toxic exes
What ‘controlled communication’ really looks like
How silence can actually say everything you need it to
The psychological edge of emotional detachment (without being cold)
Because sometimes the most powerful move you can make…
is none at all.

You’re not imagining it; every message, every silence, every “misunderstanding” is a calculated move. And if you’re still trying to co-parent by the rules, while they’re out here playing to win? You’re going to keep losing peace, time, and power.
This episode is your wake-up call.
It’s time to stop reacting, start predicting, and finally take back control of the board.
🛑 No more emotional checkmates.
🛡 Tactical Detachment is the strategy now.
Hit play, take some notes and get ready to rewrite the game.
You’re Not Angry, You’re Exhausted from Doing It All
They say you’re snappy. Moody. Angry.
But what if you’re just… exhausted?
This episode cuts into the truth behind the “angry single mum” narrative, and how what people label as attitude is often just the aftermath of carrying it all alone.
We’re talking about the emotional labour no one sees, the burnout no one talks about, and the cost of constantly holding it together for everyone else.
It’s not about managing your mood.
It’s about naming your load.

Ever looked across the table at Mediation—or inside the courtroom—and thought: How is this the person I’m forced to co-parent with?
In this raw and real episode, I speak directly to the Mama's silently screaming through school drop-offs, court orders, and weekend handovers. The ones who are doing it all right, and still being dragged into chaos by someone who should be showing up for the children — not using them as pawns.
We’ll explore the silent grief of sharing your child with someone who manipulates, triangulates, and gaslights—and what to do when being the safe parent means being the only parent emotionally showing up.
COME BACK HERE FOR THE SECRET LINK TO THE ALLIANCE AFTER IT HAS AIRED ON MAY 24th!
Why They Want You Reactive: Playing the Long Game in Toxic Co-Parenting
If your ex thrives on drama, chaos, and control—this episode is your new lifeline.
I’m breaking down the real reason they want you tired, overwhelmed, and constantly explaining yourself… and how to step back, zoom out, and start playing the long game.
Because the win isn’t in the argument—it’s in the strategy.
We’ll explore:
Why exhaustion makes you easier to manipulate
How high-conflict co-parents bait you into reactivity
What legacy parenting really looks like
And the emotional shift that changes everything
This one is raw, validating, and full of mic-drop moments. But the how? That lives inside my free ‘Bulletproof’ training.
Grab it below! 👇🏽
Ever been called bitter for setting boundaries?
Toxic for telling the truth?
“Damaging” for using words like abuse, manipulation, or narcissist?
This episode is for every single mama who’s lost family, friends—or her sense of self—because she dared to say out loud what others wanted her to keep quiet.
I share the exact message I received from a family member telling me I’d “gone too far.” And I unpack the deeper truth:
Our stories aren’t the problem. The silence that protects abusers is.
If you’ve ever felt ghosted, guilted, or gaslit for standing up for yourself—you are not alone.
This is the truth they don’t want you to speak.
And The Alliance is the room where we speak it anyway.
Overly Sensitive or Highly Attuned? How Our Children Can Be Our Greatest Compass
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the misunderstood world of “overly sensitive” children — and why their big emotions are often a powerful signal, not a flaw.
We explore how your child’s heightened sensitivity is actually a reflection of their environment, and how it can guide us to create safer, calmer spaces for them to thrive.
I’ll share practical strategies to help regulate your child’s nervous system in times of stress or emotional overwhelm, so you can move from frustration to connection.
If you’ve ever wondered why your child reacts so strongly at times, or how you can support them through those hard moments, this episode is for you.

Your child keeps asking to stay with you more… And every time you bring it up to your co-parent, you get brushed off. Accused. Shut down.

We’ll talk about:
– The emotional conflict of hoping your ex will care (but knowing they won’t)
– The guilt of feeling like your child is being ignored
– Why toxic co-parents are never consistent
– And the signs that it might be time to go back to court

Handle it when the other parent tells your child to keep secrets

We’ve all heard it: “He’s a good dad… he just wasn’t a great partner.”
But here’s the truth no one’s saying loud enough:
You cannot abuse the mother of your children and still be a good father.
In this episode, we’re calling out the myth, the manipulation, and the emotional cost of trying to co-parent with someone who still uses control, courtrooms, and conflict as a weapon—even after the relationship ends.
Whether you’re deep in post-separation abuse, being cyberstalked for telling your truth, or just trying to raise your kids in peace while navigating legal drama—you’ll feel seen in this conversation.
This is for the safe parent. The one doing the emotional heavy lifting. The one who’s been told to “just get along” while being slowly broken down.
You’re not the problem.
You’re the protector.
And this episode is for you.

We’ve Normalised the Abuse That Happens After the Breakup
You left—but the abuse didn’t.
In this episode, we’re naming what so often goes unnamed: post-separation abuse.
From relentless texts and emotional ambushes to legal threats and using the kids as pawns—it’s still abuse. It’s just dressed in new clothes. And far too many women are told to “co-parent through it” or “keep the peace” while they’re being psychologically drained and re-traumatised.
I speak from lived experience—though you won’t hear the details here, you’ll feel the truth in every word.
If you’ve ever wondered why it feels harder after the breakup, this one’s for you. You’re not overreacting. You’re not the problem. And you’re not alone.
Let this be the episode that makes you feel seen.

Separation anxiety isn’t just something babies go through when they move into their own bed or a Toddler crying at Nursery drop-off— it’s something so many of our children experience during and after divorce… and barely anyone talks about it.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what separation anxiety really looks like in children when they’re forced to say goodbye to their safe parent — even temporarily. From clinginess and meltdowns to regression and tummy aches, we dive into the signs, the root causes, and most importantly… how you can support your child through it with compassion and confidence.
If handovers leave your child in tears — or if reunions are full of emotional chaos — this episode will help you feel less alone and more empowered to be their calm in the storm.
You’ll learn:
• What separation anxiety really is (and what it’s not)
• Why divorce triggers it so strongly in children
• 5 practical ways to help your child feel safe and secure — even when you’re apart
• What not to say or do, even with the best intentions
This is for every mama who’s ever cried in the car after drop-off. You’re not failing — you’re their anchor. Let’s talk about it....
