About Life After +1

The Life After Plus One Podcast is the place where you get real, authentic conversations without the bubble wrap, covering everything related to being a single parent. From breakups and the challenges of divorce, to co-parenting, dating again, blending families, and all the emotions in between. Each week I break down different challenges and scenarios single parents face on a daily basis. This isn’t the place to complain or to dwell on the past, it’s about finding the good in where you're at, improving your situation, and reframing life as a single parent so you can make the most of it.

   EP. 165 - The Breakup Advice Every Single Parent Needs to Hear

   There’s so much misinformation out there about what healing is supposed to look like, yet the deeper process is one that so many people avoid, overlook or simply don’t understand. Because healing isn’t always comfortable. It can be confronting especially when you start looking at the parts of yourself, your patterns, wounds and beliefs that your breakup brought to the surface. So what does healing actually look like? In today’s episode, I’m talking about exactly that, what it really takes to heal after your breakup and what the process actually looks like beyond simply getting over your ex and moving on.

   Ep. 164 - Managing a Toxic Coparenting Dynamic

   Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Is this just my life now? Am I really going to have to deal with this toxic co-parenting dynamic for the rest of my life because this is who my ex is?” In this episode, I'm talking about toxic co-parenting and, more importantly, how to start getting yourself out of the cycle. Because your ex may not change, but that doesn’t mean their behavior has to keep controlling your decisions, your emotions or the life you’re trying to build as a single parent.

   Why won’t my co-parent cooperate? If you’re constantly dealing with arguments, frustration, control, blame or a co-parent who seems impossible to work with, this episode is for you. I break down why trying harder to get your co-parent to cooperate often keeps you stuck, and what you can actually do differently to make co-parenting easier for you.
