    Coaching Couch: Father Fought Pro Se After 280 Days Without His Daughter | Corey’s Custody Story

    In this episode of The Coaching Couch, Livi North talks with Corey, a father who survived a four-year custody battle after his daughter was taken out of state and he went 280 days without seeing her. Corey shares what happened when his co-parent relocated with their daughter, why he first hired an attorney, how he later represented himself for much of the case, and what it took to prepare for mediation, GAL involvement, trial, false allegations, and ongoing high-conflict co-parenting. This conversation is not about pretending family court is fair or easy. It is about what happens when a parent stops reacting, starts documenting, learns the system, and stays focused on the child instead of the chaos. We talk about emotional control, narcissistic traits, pro se custody strategy, the importance of evidence, supporting a child’s relationship with both parents, and why Corey says the experience forced him to find “superpowers” he did not know he had. If you are facing a high-conflict custody battle, representing yourself, or trying to stay grounded while fighting for your child, Corey’s story is one you need to hear.

    Pt 2: Inside I Love You, My Narcissist — with Producer/Director Ali & Stephanie Schmall

    In Part 2 of this Coaching Couch interview, Livi North continues her conversation with Ali and Stephanie Schmall, the producer and director behind I Love You, My Narcissist. This episode goes deeper into the emotional reality of making a film about narcissistic abuse, the survivor stories that shaped the project, and why reactive abuse is so often misunderstood. Ali and Stephanie discuss the personal impact of creating the film, the scenes that were hardest to make, and why psychological abuse can make victims look like the problem — especially in court, family conflict, and public settings. We also talk about why charming abusers are so difficult for outsiders to recognize, how survivors are often dismissed when they try to explain what happened, and why films like I Love You, My Narcissist matter so much. If you have ever wished people could see the pattern instead of judging one reaction, this conversation is for you.

    10 Parenting Plan Mistakes to Avoid with a High-Conflict Co-Parent

    Parenting plans are supposed to create structure, predictability, and peace. But when you are dealing with a high-conflict, narcissistic, or toxic co-parent, vague parenting plan language can become the exact thing that keeps you stuck in constant conflict. In this episode of U****k Your Co-Parenting, Livi North breaks down 10 common parenting plan clauses that sound reasonable in theory but often become chaos in real life. We’re talking about phrases like “parents will cooperate,” “reasonable notice,” “mutual agreement,” unlimited phone access, right of first refusal, morality clauses, ambiguous makeup time, and other language that can be twisted, weaponized, or used to keep you defending yourself. This episode is especially for parents who are negotiating a custody agreement, preparing for mediation, modifying a parenting plan, or realizing that their current agreement leaves way too much room for interpretation. The goal is not to write the prettiest parenting plan. The goal is to write one that actually works with the co-parent you have — not the fantasy version everyone wishes they would become. This episode is not legal advice. Always consult an attorney about your specific agreement and jurisdiction.

    Pt 1: Inside I Love You, My Narcissist — with Producer/Director Ali & Stephanie Schmall

    In this episode of The Coaching Couch, Livi North is joined by Ali and Stephanie Schmall, the producer and director behind I Love You, My Narcissist. This independent hybrid film blends scripted storytelling, survivor experiences, and expert commentary to show the slow, confusing, identity-eroding reality of narcissistic abuse — the part that is so hard to explain to friends, family, courts, and anyone who only sees the charming public version of the abuser. Ali and Stephanie share why they created the film, how survivor stories shaped the fictional storylines, why they chose a hybrid scripted/documentary format, and how the film helps people see the pattern of manipulation, gaslighting, isolation, and reactive abuse more clearly. If you have ever wished you could point to something and say, “This. This is what happened,” this conversation — and this film — is for you.

    The Gray Area Trap: Custody Agreement Loopholes High-Conflict Exes Love

    Why does it feel like your ex follows the custody agreement only when it benefits them? Because when a parenting plan is vague, high-conflict people turn every gray area into an opportunity for control. In this Coaching Couch episode, I break down the “Gray Area Trap” — what happens when your custody agreement uses vague language like “reasonable notice,” “reasonable phone contact,” “be flexible,” or “parents will cooperate.” Those phrases sound fine if you are dealing with a reasonable person. But if you are dealing with a high-conflict or narcissistic ex, they become loopholes. We cover: Why vague parenting plans create constant conflict“Death by logistics” and the small issues that become big control tacticsWhether your ex can control what you do during your parenting timeWhat to do when your ex’s new partner starts showing up to everythingYour rights around school events, doctor appointments, and parent-teacher conferencesRight of first refusal problemsWhen late bedtimes and bad parenting decisions are worth addressingHow to document patterns without looking “difficult” in courtIf you have ever found yourself wondering, “Am I overreacting?” this episode is for you.

    The 6 Biggest Mistakes You’re Making With Your Narcissistic Co-Parent

    Most co-parenting advice assumes both parents care about the same things. But if you are dealing with a narcissistic or high-conflict co-parent, that is not what is happening. In this episode of The Breakdown, I explain why you are stuck, why nothing seems to work, and the six mistakes that are keeping you trapped in the cycle. We cover: Trying to make their behavior make senseBelieving the right words will change themExpecting them to care about parenting the way you doWhy “performance parenting” happens during courtWhy things often change after custody is finalizedWhy they escalate when challengedWhy nobody else seems to see what you seeThis episode introduces the idea of “counter parenting”—when your ex is not trying to co-parent at all, but instead is using parenting as a way to maintain control, protect their image, and keep you reacting. Once you understand that, everything changes. Follow, rate, and share if this episode helped you. And send me a message: which mistake hit you the hardest?
