Unscripted Life Update: Coparenting, Un-Posturing, and Going Viral

We’re back with another off-the-cuff life update after having a breakdown last weekend that truly set me free. I go into the challenges of coparenting, transition days, the inner collapse that always follows, and letting it all be as it is.It’s a new level of freedom when I began to allow myself to fall apart without fixing it, labeling it, or rushing myself back into productivity.I share about the moment I craved connection and the viral post that followed, reminding me of the power that comes with vulnerability and allowing myself to be seen in the messy truth of it all. While putting myself on display in these moments is hard, I can’t deny that “un-posturing” feels like such a necessary part of my healing, and apparently the healing of thousands of others (based on my viral IG post…).Highlights:(05:02) - The internal collapse that happens every time my son leaves (09:27) - What it felt like to let the “mess” actually just be part of the natural cycle of coparenting (14:19) - Keeping it real when people ask me (and I ask me) if coparenting gets easier with time (19:51) - How my years of posturing was a survival mechanism and the ways I did this with myself (24:40) - When going viral opens the floodgates to lots of resonance and support - and of course the “trolls” who need love the most (29:35) - Why the messy, imperfect version of you is the one people actually connect withResources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
