Creating a Conscious Parenting Partnership
Divorcing with children asks us to simultaneously end one chapter while starting the next … with the same person.
Redefining the relationship from being partners in marriage to partners in parenting takes time, effort and support.
With so many parts of life in motion, you and your co-parent are naturally overwhelmed, exhausted, and worried about your children and the future. You're making important decisions, adjusting to new routines, and learning how to co-parent across two homes, all while your children need more from you than ever before.
As parents, you know that how you show up for yourselves, your children, and your parenting partnership affects your children's ability to feel safe, secure, and loved.
You know that the choices you make today lay the foundation for your family's future and your children's experience of family for years to come.
What isn't clear, yet, is exactly how to move forward, create the parenting partnership you want for your family, and remain attuned to your children's individual needs and sometimes challenging behaviors as they adjust to life between two homes.
This is where I can help.
Together, we'll address the practical and emotional demands of co-parenting while creating the foundation for your Conscious Parenting Partnership.
-
Our work is grounded in three guiding priorities:
~ The wellbeing of each child
~ The wellbeing of each parent
~ The wellbeing of the family system
Every family's circumstances are unique, so our conversations remain flexible and responsive to your family's specific needs, goals, and stage of the parenting journey.
Together, we'll focus on:
Building a shared vision for your parenting partnership
Strengthening communication, collaboration, and practical systems for parenting across two homes
Navigating conflict and making thoughtful, child-centered decisions together
Better understanding your children's emotional and developmental needs
Developing practical parenting tools and strategies that help you respond to your children with greater presence and less reactivity
Identifying the shared values and commitments that will guide your parenting partnership as you begin this next chapter of your personal and parenting journeys
-
Throughout the coaching process, you'll develop a shared set of commitments that reflect the values, priorities, and future you're intentionally creating together.
During our final session, we'll bring those commitments together into a personalized set of Conscious Parenting Partnership Commitments—a living guide for how you'll continue showing up for yourself, your parenting partnership, and your children.
As your children grow and your family evolves, these commitments can be revisited, refined, and expanded to reflect your changing needs and circumstances
-
The coaching process begins with a 75-minute Orientation Session with both parents, followed by a 60-minute Individual Parent Support Session for each parent.
Together, these conversations lay the foundation for four 75-minute Collaborative Coaching Sessions, each designed to strengthen a different aspect of your parenting partnership.
Session 1: Building a Child-Centered Parenting Partnership
Session 2: Communication & Collaboration Between Two Homes
Session 3: Supporting Children Through Change & Transition
Session 4: Integration & Conscious Parenting Partnership Commitments
While these core foundations provide structure, our conversations remain flexible and responsive to the questions, needs, and challenges that matter most to your family.
This joint coaching experience is available to parents considering separation or divorce, as well as those seeking support after after their divorce has been finalized. Whether you're preparing for what's ahead or looking to strengthen your parenting partnership after your divorce, this work is designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey.
Through my collaboration with Conscious Family Law, I'm able to support parents throughout their mediation process as part of an integrated team. Working with a coach alongside mediation helps parents not only reach agreements that support their children's well-being, but also begin building the skills and parenting partnership they'll rely on long after the legal process is complete.
Ready to learn more? I offer a complimentary 50-minute consultation where we'll discuss your family's unique situation, your goals for co-parent coaching, and whether this process is the right fit for you and your family.
