The Kind Approach to Co-Parenting—with Teresa Harlow - EP17 Wickedly Smart Women

    • Entrepreneurship

The decision to divorce is a difficult one, especially if young children are involved. No parent wants to miss half of their kiddo’s childhood. But how do we learn to co-parent in a positive way? What strategies can divorcing couples use to create a happy life for their child AND themselves?
Co-parenting expert Teresa Harlow is the author of Happily Divorced: A Journey Through Divorce & Co-Parenting by the Golden Rule. She acquired her expertise through firsthand experience, and today, she is committed to making positive co-parenting the expectation for divorced parents—rather than the exception. A well-known speaker and blogger in the co-parenting space, Teresa advocates for using the Golden Rule to improve every one of our relationships, and she believes that the painful decision to divorce does not have to mean a pain-filled life.
On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Teresa joins Emerald to share the powerful moment when she was called to find a different way to co-parent and maximize the time both she and her ex spent with their child. She explains how she shifted the way she communicates with her ex-husband and why a similar value system is key in Golden Rule co-parenting. Listen in for insight on demonstrating the kindness you’d like to receive and get Teresa’s advice around letting your ex know when you bring a new adult into your child’s life.
