Listen to this podcast

This podcast has excellent information about how to move forward with your child’s best interest at the forefront. It offers wise, nuanced and also practical advice and insights. THANK YOU, podcast creators. (I just made a donation to also express my gratitude.)

Ross Rosenberg

Please Brook, for the love of god…do not do another episode with Ross Rosenberg. I don’t think I have to state the MANY reasons why…I couldn’t even get through the entire duration of the episode. I made it to 25 minutes and those 25 minutes were excruciating. Brook handled his severe interruptions and massive ego, patiently with grace and professionalism. I cannot say enough about this show and Brook Olsen. He has saved my sanity. I have no complaints about this show. I listen weekly, faithfully. But last week was HORRIBLE only due to ROSS ROSENBURG. He needs to be banned.

#1 High Conflict Co-Parenting Resource

with having a very controlling toxic ex that opposes everything I suggest. I say black, he says white. We’re going through a very high conflict custody battle right now and this podcast has taught me so much and given me the guidance to navigate through these tough waters of “co-parenting”. I’ve learned that I cannot change his toxic ways/perception of me. But I can change how I react and choose to disengage and NOT take the bait. And to keep my focus on my child’s feelings and what is going to be in her best interest. Thank you guys for It’s helped immensely.
