Welcome to the Other Side Meg Gluckman

This week I've got one of my coaching & podcast heroes on the podcast: Maggie Reyes is the Queen of having a great marriage.



I start the podcast by explaining that I've listened to her podcast (The Marriage Life Coach Podcast) for the past few years-- all while I haven't been married. Why? Because everything she teaches is SO helpful in any and every relationship-- including our co-parenting relationships. Plus she is just such a fun, warm, insightful woman to listen to!



We also share a love of romance novels, so of course we have to dive into that a bit... (here's my recommendation and hers).



Then it's on to concrete, actionable concepts that will help improve your co-parenting relationship.



Some of our topics include:


Maggie's Anger Scale and how to use it
Your choices when things aren't fair
The Power of 1 and how to use it to improve co-parenting
Letting patterns make things easier for you



I think you're going to love meeting Maggie and get some very useful take-aways that you can apply to any relationships in your life!

Enjoy!

Could a "card game" make dividing up parenting responsibilities with your co-parent easier?



Ever since Elise Buie in Episode #75 told me about Eve Rodsky's book "Fair Play," I've wanted to dive into how we can use this system or "card game" to divide up tasks in co-parenting.



When I met Frederick Van Riper, a coach for men & dads and a Certified Fair Play facilitator, I knew he'd be a great guest to answer all my questions.



In this episode, we dive into:


What is the "Fair Play" system
How can you use it if you're partnered, co-parenting, or on your own with kiddos
Common challenges to get started
How Frederick's relationship with his wife went from good to great after implementing Fair Play
Why your co-parent thriving is in your best interest



Fair Play lays out all the work that goes into maintaining our household and raising kids. I'd recommend reading Fair Play to anyone who is in a partnership, hopes to be in a new relationship, or is co-parenting (no matter the temperature of your co-parenting relationship).



Even if you don't imagine sitting down with your co-parent to work through the "card game," getting clear for yourself on what is in your hand versus what is in your co-parent's can reduce stress and confusion.

Check it out!

We’re heading to Minnesota this week to catch Dr. Myka Hanson and talk all things teens & co-parenting.

 

Dr. Hanson has spent the last 30 years working with teens and tweens in a variety of capacities. She taught high school English for over 15 years and has a Masters in Special Education and a Ph.D in psychology and somatics. 

 

She leads Teen Forward, a coaching program that honors all teens as complete, creative, amazing individuals while helping them and their parents navigate the obstacles of adolescence.

 

Yes, not-gonna-lie, I did invite her on to ask her all my questions as a mom-of-a-teen. 😉

 

I also wanted to get her take on being a stepparent of two teens and navigating co-parenting.

 

I’m SOOO inspired by the care she brings to her work. I did get a little teary when she talked about helping teens broach big topics with their parents-- I DARE YOU not to as well 🥲

 

I took many notes and if you have a teen, I’m sure you will too.

‌

If you feel like your teen could use some more support from an adult who truly gets them, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Myka.
