031. 3 Unexpected Ways to Improve How You Cope with Your Ex
More ways to listen:
Dealing with exes (and their partner) is one subject most of us prefer to avoid. The truth is, avoiding the challenges that come with "the other home" is not the best thing for your kids.
You see, the better your relationships are between the adults in both homes — the better life is for your kids. Plus it's more peaceful for you!
Trying to reason with exes who sometimes feel unreasonable just isn't that easy. We've had more years of experience trying to work with a difficult Ex than we would wish on anyone…
…but the good news is we've learned a thing or two along the way.
Yes, the Ex and their spouse can be difficult; however, that doesn't mean you're helpless — or that the situation is hopeless. There are tons of things you can do to make the whole situation better for yourself and more importantly for your kids.
That's why we recorded this candid conversation. We're sharing just a few of the things we've discovered over the years. And if you put them into action right away, you might be surprised what could change for the better.
If you've ever struggled with tough emotions when you're dealing with "the other home", then this is the episode for you! So grab your headphones and join us…
