Description

On this episode I am  joined by Dr. Royster — Child Psychologist | Co-Parenting Expert | Founder of the Kids First Co-Parenting System. 

Navigating divorce and co-parenting isn’t easy — especially when you’re raising young kids and dealing with a high-conflict ex. That’s where Dr. Royster comes in. A mom herself and a seasoned child psychologist, Dr. Royster helps smart, high-achieving moms move from anxious and overwhelmed to clear, confident, and empowered. Her signature Kids First Co-Parenting System is designed to support you in putting your children’s emotional well-being at the center — without losing yourself in the middle of it. 

We talk about the real struggles moms face when they’re parenting with a high-conflict ex — and how to protect your kids’ emotional well-being, even when the other parent won’t play fair.




  • What to do when co-parenting doesn’t feel like a partnership
  • How to keep your kids out of the middle
  • Signs of emotional burnout in children — and what to do next
  • The power of boundaries, routines, and shifting your mindset 
If you’re navigating the messy middle of divorce and parenting, this one is for you.
