Episode notes

Today, we're talking about one of the most emotionally challenging parts of blended family life: dealing with a difficult ex-spouse or co-parent. 

A difficult ex-spouse can take up an incredible amount of emotional real estate. And that's what I want to help you with today. Because while you may not be able to control the co-parent... You absolutely can learn how to protect your peace.  

And in this episode I'm sharing 4 specific ways to do it. 

So, if you've ever received a text from an ex-spouse and immediately felt your blood pressure rise, if you've ever looked at your phone and thought, "Well, that's enough emotional excitement for one day," then this episode is for you.
