E18: Navigating Divorce and Co-Parenting Mindfully: Guidance from Coach Ashley Wood

Today, we are making invisible things visible for people who are struggling with the incredibly difficult experience of divorce, redefining the adult and parenting relationships inside - and outside - of a family unit, and how to find the support you need to get through to the other side. I am talking to Ashley Wood, Divorce Transition & Recovery Coach, Certified Divorce Coach® and our own Conscious Parenting Coach, Sabrina Belo. 

We cover: 

• What is the one question you can ask yourself to regain some emotional regulation as a triggered co-parent? 
• What are the signs of a ‘high-conflict’ divorce, and what do I do if I’m in one? 
• How do you know if you have the right mediator?  
• Helpful perspective shifts for transitions in parenting. 

Resources mentioned in the show: 

• What you should know about Family Law in Ontario, 
• Ashley’s checklist for hiring a family lawyer (or mediator), 
• Books Christina recommends: Parenting Apart: How Separated and Divorced Parents Can Raise Happy and Secure Kids by Christina McGhee, Two Homes by Claire Masurel, and Stepfamilies: Love, parenting and marriage in the first decade by James Bray, PhD.
