Ep. 284: Divorce, Toxic Co-Parenting, Anger & Alcohol: How To Protect Your Peace (And Your Sobriety)

If divorce or co-parenting has you thinking “this could drive me to drink,” you’re not alone. Separation brings anger, resentment, logistics chaos, and a whole lot of nervous-system fireworks. Alcohol can feel like the quickest off-switch — but it doesn’t solve anything, and usually makes you more anxious and less steady. In this episode, I’m talking to Scott Pinyard — former Head Coach at This Naked Mind, alcohol-free coach, and creator of a co-parenting program — about navigating divorce, toxic co-parenting, anger, and alcohol. I asked Scott (coach and long-time co-parent who divorced when his daughter was a toddler) to share how to stop trying to change your ex, work with your own anger, and create pockets of peace for you and your kids — without numbing out with alcohol.
