Co-parenting mentor Sarah joined us from Australia for the podcast! She specialises in supporting (mainly) women and their children when relationships break down. 

We talked about: 

• The importance of putting children first, but how difficult it is when your co-parent isn't on the same page as you in terms of their approach. 
• How Sarah started working in the field having had her own traumatic personal experience and being a co-parent herself. 
• How Sarah coaches parents to regain their confidence and ‘step into their power’. 
• Sarah’s recommendations for effective communication when co-parenting along with what parallel parenting looks like  
• Narcissistic ex-partners, what this means and Sarah’s advice when faced with that level of challenge in a co-parenting relationship 
• How all co-parenting relationships can be tricky and how making sure you are focussed on the children is of paramount importance. 
• The ripple effect of the wider / extended family - the opinions and ‘sides’ that come with this and how to navigate it all. 
• The importance of a support system and identifying who is on ‘team me’. 
• Recognising that you are a ‘good girl people pleaser’ and breaking this cycle for the sake of your children.  
• Sarah’s 3 key tips for your co-parenting journey.
