Becoming Unbothered: An Energetic Strategy to Disarm the Narcissist with Denise Kavaliauskas
Q: What does it mean to be 'unbothered' and how can a co-parent achieve that state?

Q: Is this true that litigation in high-conflict situations often ends only when the children are minors, and how do we cope with that reality?
Litigation can feel endless; the guest discusses reframing the situation, recognizing cycles like the merry-go-round, and choosing strategies to reduce ongoing conflict while prioritizing the kids' well-being.
