Parenting Together Apart Podcast
by Ellie Lemons and Monique Barry
We are Ellie Lemons and Monique Barry; two mothers who currently successfully co-parent. This is a space for people to relearn what parenting after separation looks like. We draw on our experiences, journeys and the lessons we've learned to help people see that having a coparenting relationship where being friends is not only possible but a rewarding experience for everyone. We are creating the resource we wish we had when we began our co-parenting journeys and we hope you'll join us as we help parents transition from a romantic relationship to a co-parenting one, rewrite the narrative of what parenting after separation looks like and continue to unfold our own journeys — discussing all things co-parenting, relationships, separation, child development, communication, conflict and healing.IG: @parentingtogetherapartWeb: togetherapartpodcast.com
