Description

Are you skipping school events, sports games, or milestone moments just to avoid being in the same space as your ex—hoping it protects your child from tension?

Many divorced moms want to keep things calm for their kids, yet the fear of conflict or old emotions resurfacing can make co-attending events feel impossible. This episode breaks down why avoiding your ex often creates more stress for your child—and how simple shifts in boundaries, planning, and emotional preparation can turn big moments into positive memories instead of anxiety-filled experiences.

Listeners will learn:

  • How showing up together—even with discomfort—can dramatically increase your child’s sense of safety and emotional stability.
  • What practical steps you can take before events to prevent tension and support your child’s experience.
  • How to create internal boundaries that allow you to be present, grounded, and confident regardless of your ex’s behavior.

Press play now to learn how to make your child’s big moments peaceful, united, and full of support—even after divorce.
