Responsibility vs. Response-Ability: Lessons from Co-Parenting Through a Crisis

Divorce and Separation

In this solo episode, I am sharing a snippet of my personal story that's been unfolding in my life, offering you some valuable lessons along the way. While navigating this situation was far from easy, it tested all my divorce coaching skills and taught me a lot about the power of responsibility and response-ability.

In this episode, I share insights on:

  • Responsibility vs. Response-Ability: Learn the key differences between these two concepts and how they can shift the way you approach difficult situations, especially with your ex-partner.
  • Practical strategies to help you remain calm and composed, even when life throws curveballs.
  • My personal reflections on how communication is at the heart of all our relationships, whether with your ex, your kids, or anyone else.

I introduce you to my three go-to tips for taking responsibility and response-ability:

  1. Breath is your best friend.
  2. The 24-Hour Rule.
  3. Taking Radical Responsibility.
