Newsletter for January 6, 2022


Hi!, I recently stumbled upon this great advice from Chukwuebuka Ijezie that I thought you might find helpful. “Co-parenting is always going to be a mess, especially when you’re young. I bet you’ve watched movies and tv shows that glorified co-parenting, and made it seem extraordinarily simple. Well, reality is quite different, but it’s not impossible. There are a few tricks to being a good co-parent that work even if you don’t get along with your ex.

FEATURED COURSES

Healing with Faith and Resilience
This Retreat Course is designed to provide both the intellectual and spiritual side of parental alienation, with an intention of incorporating mind, body and spirit on the journey. The brief talks by credentialed professionals address the broad spectrum of pain, trauma, and ultimately resilience, no matter the faith perspective of the parent.
This was born out of the need to provide a faith-based perspective on high conflict divorce, specifically for hurting parents who have lost once-loving relationships with their children.
