<p>In this episode of The Coaching Couch, Livi North talks with Corey, a father who survived a four-year custody battle after his daughter was taken out of state and he went 280 days without seeing her.</p><p>Corey shares what happened when his co-parent relocated with their daughter, why he first hired an attorney, how he later represented himself for much of the case, and what it took to prepare for mediation, GAL involvement, trial, false allegations, and ongoing high-conflict co-parenting.</p><p>This conversation is not about pretending family court is fair or easy. It is about what happens when a parent stops reacting, starts documenting, learns the system, and stays focused on the child instead of the chaos.</p><p>We talk about emotional control, narcissistic traits, pro se custody strategy, the importance of evidence, supporting a child’s relationship with both parents, and why Corey says the experience forced him to find “superpowers” he did not know he had.</p><p>If you are facing a high-conflict custody battle, representing yourself, or trying to stay grounded while fighting for your child, Corey’s story is one you need to hear.</p><p>Book a Strategy Call or submit a question for The Coaching Couch: unfuckyourcoparenting.com</p><p><br>DM and Follow for more @unfuckyourcoparenting on Instagram TikTok Facebook YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts<br></p><p></p>

<p>In Part 2 of this Coaching Couch interview, Livi North continues her conversation with Ali and Stephanie Schmall, the producer and director behind I Love You, My Narcissist.</p><p>This episode goes deeper into the emotional reality of making a film about narcissistic abuse, the survivor stories that shaped the project, and why reactive abuse is so often misunderstood. Ali and Stephanie discuss the personal impact of creating the film, the scenes that were hardest to make, and why psychological abuse can make victims look like the problem — especially in court, family conflict, and public settings.</p><p>We also talk about why charming abusers are so difficult for outsiders to recognize, how survivors are often dismissed when they try to explain what happened, and why films like I Love You, My Narcissist matter so much.</p><p>If you have ever wished people could see the pattern instead of judging one reaction, this conversation is for you.</p><p>Watch I Love You, My Narcissist and use code LIVI1 for 15% off. </p><p>https://stream.alefcinestream.com/checkout/i-love-you-my-narcissist/purchase?code=livi1</p><p>Book a Strategy Call:<br>unfuckyourcoparenting.com</p><p></p>

<p>Parenting plans are supposed to create structure, predictability, and peace. But when you are dealing with a high-conflict, narcissistic, or toxic co-parent, vague parenting plan language can become the exact thing that keeps you stuck in constant conflict.</p><p>In this episode of Unfuck Your Co-Parenting, Livi North breaks down 10 common parenting plan clauses that sound reasonable in theory but often become chaos in real life. We’re talking about phrases like “parents will cooperate,” “reasonable notice,” “mutual agreement,” unlimited phone access, right of first refusal, morality clauses, ambiguous makeup time, and other language that can be twisted, weaponized, or used to keep you defending yourself.</p><p>This episode is especially for parents who are negotiating a custody agreement, preparing for mediation, modifying a parenting plan, or realizing that their current agreement leaves way too much room for interpretation.</p><p>The goal is not to write the prettiest parenting plan. The goal is to write one that actually works with the co-parent you have — not the fantasy version everyone wishes they would become.</p><p>This episode is not legal advice. Always consult an attorney about your specific agreement and jurisdiction.</p><p>Book a strategy call:<br><a href="https://unfuckyourcoparenting.com/book-your-call" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://unfuckyourcoparenting.com/book-your-call</a></p><p>high-conflict co-parenting, narcissistic co-parenting, parenting plan, custody agreement, parallel parenting, toxic ex, divorce support, custody tips, co-parenting with a narcissist, parenting plan mistakes, family court, mediation, custody modification, divorce strategy</p>
