Season 4: Episode 30: What? Like it's hard? Choosing not to be high conflict with guest, Rachel

Christina chats with Rachel about her blended family, zero to high conflict and how to find the humor amongst the WTF's?? Rachel and her ex-husband were able to co-parent and keep their issues out of the courtroom, but unfortunately Rachel couldn't avoid the conflict when she became a stepmom. How does Rachel manage her husband's ex? How does she battle the "how could she do that?" thoughts? What choices did Rachel make to not be high conflict herself? How does a stepmom's presence influence the drama? Listen in! About My Guest! Hi! I’m Rachel, a blended family mom of 6 and a longtime early education specialist & coach. My husband has experienced a very high conflict situation with his ex which included alienation. After over 6 years in court, much of which he was pro se, I have learned a lot about the family court system’s “dos and don'ts”. I use that experience coupled with my own breakup OUTSIDE of the court system to spread awareness and help both dads and their partners navigate conflict.
