Let's Talk....About Dreading the Summer Holidays
from Let's Talk Divorce · host Catherine Cooke
Episode 1: Why Summer Doesn't Feel Like Sunshine Summer is often portrayed as a time of family fun, holidays and making happy memories. But for many people navigating separation, divorce or co-parenting, it can be one of the most emotionally challenging times of the year.In this episode, I explore why the summer holidays can bring extra pressure, from trying to hold a relationship together for the sake of the children to managing holiday arrangements, missing your children when they're with the other parent, and comparing your family life to the picture-perfect moments we see on social media.I'll also share three simple things that can help you focus on what really matters this summer, for both you and your children.Whether you're questioning your relationship, going through a divorce or adjusting to co-parenting, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone - and that your children don't need a perfect summer, they need a connected one.If this episode resonates with you, I'd love it if you'd follow the podcast, leave a review and share it with someone who might need to hear it.Download my free guide if you are questioning your relationship.
