Single-Parenting with Connection (NOT Perfection) – Details, episodes & analysis

Co-parenting with a high-conflict ex is exhausting, especially when you still have to coordinate about your kids. In this conversation, I’m joined by therapist and divorce coach Jill Kaufman, creator of Thriving Through Divorce and author of I’m Getting Divorced, Now What?. We talk about practical ways to lower the drama, protect your peace, and keep the focus on your child — starting with a simple, powerful framework for communication that actually moves things forward.
