   From Conflict to Confidence: Lessons from This Season

   As we close out this season of Confident Coparenting, Jeanne reflects on the biggest lessons that surfaced across conversations about communication, emotional regulation, high conflict, loyalty binds, discernment, and child-centered decision-making. Across every episode, one truth kept rising to the top: confident coparenting isn’t about controlling your ex — it’s about how you show up. In this solo episode, Jeanne shares: • Why regulation is the foundation of co-regulation • How to treat feelings as information — not instructions • Why conflict is inevitable but escalation is optional • What children actually need during and after divorce • How loving detachment protects your peace • Practical best practices you can start using immediately This episode is both a reflection and a reset — a reminder that you don’t need a perfect situation to be a confident coparent. You just need intention, steadiness, and a willingness to grow. And the most important part of Confident Coparenting? It’s Y-O-U. Why? Oh. You.

Whether you are a parent navigating divorce, a co-parent, or a professional who supports families, this episode offers meaningful insight into how parents can show up in ways that help their children feel secure, supported, and seen.

    Understanding IFS – Internal Family Systems with Dr. Ursula Lentine

    The journey to Confident Coparenting™ is one of growth, self-awareness, and healing—and sometimes, we need the right tools and guides along the way. One powerful approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model that helps us understand the different “parts” within us that influence how we think, feel, and respond—especially in moments of stress or conflict. In this episode, we’re joined by a deeply intuitive IFS practitioner whose work goes beyond traditional therapy. She brings a unique ability to attune to what lies beneath the surface, helping clients connect to their inner wisdom and uncover what they truly need. I’m so honored to be speaking with Dr. Ursula Lentine today! Together, we’ll talk about how IFS can be truly transformational and I’ll share a bit of my own journey toward becoming a more confident person, parent, and co-parent through work with Ursula.
