TALK TO ME TUESDAY Episode 3: How Do I Co-Parent with Someone I Can't Stand
from Ask Nyomi " Bridging The Gap" Podcast · host Nyomi Banks
Co-parenting with your ex is hard enough. Co-parenting with someone you can't stand? That's a whole other level. In this episode, Nyomi reads a letter from Randy — a divorced dad of two (ages 7 and 10) who is two years out from his divorce and still fighting every step of the way. His ex changes the schedule last minute, talks badly about him in front of the kids, and questions every parenting decision he makes. He's tried to be the bigger person. He's exhausted. And he's asking: how do I do this without losing my mind — or my kids?Nyomi doesn't hold back. She gets personal, sharing her own early co-parenting journey, her experience with mediation, why she still prays for her exes, and why she created The Season of Self-Love specifically for parents who need to heal themselves before they can show up fully for their children.
