Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

When Co-Parenting Isn't an Option: A Trauma-Informed Path to Protecting Your Child with AJ Gajjar, Trauma-Informed Parenting Consultant
Q: What are practical steps a parent can take today to support their child in a high-conflict situation?
Prioritize the 3x3 connection (three minutes, three times a day, with no screens) to regulate the child's nervous system, acknowledge and validate emotions, and create a safe, predictable space for them to express themselves.
When Co-Parenting Isn't an Option: A Trauma-Informed Path to Protecting Your Child with AJ Gajjar, Trauma-Informed Parenting Consultant
Q: What does parallel parenting look like, and how does trauma-informed parenting differ from it?
Parallel parenting deflates conflict by allowing each parent to guide their own household with limited direct communication, but trauma-informed parenting goes further by centering the child's nervous system and emotional safety, emphasizing attachment, empathy, and frequent, purposeful parent-child connection across both homes.
When Co-Parenting Isn't an Option: A Trauma-Informed Path to Protecting Your Child with AJ Gajjar, Trauma-Informed Parenting Consultant
Q: Can you set the stage for when co-parenting might not be the right fit?
Co-parenting may not be appropriate when there is relationally complex post-separation abuse, domestic violence, coercive control, mental health challenges, or a pattern where attempts at collaboration don't meet the child's needs, even after extended effort.
3 Hidden Traps Keeping You Living Small After Divorce with Wendy Valentine, Reinvention Expert and Empowerment Coach
Q: Could you elaborate a little bit more on this seven-step freedom method for anybody who wants to dive deeper, and then tell us about your book?
The seven-step Freedom Method starts with Free Yourself from limiting beliefs and self-sabotage, then Reset Your Life by clearing emotional and physical clutter, Envision a New Future filled with vitality, Embrace and Explore your passions and purpose, Detach from tomorrow and live in the present, Own Your Best Self with boundaries and self-worth, and Master Yourself to stay grounded through life's ups and downs. The book provides the formula and tools for applying these steps, with options for both reading and interactive courses.
From First Filing to Financial Freedom: The Divorce Financial Team & Playbook with Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan
