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.
