Cedric & Devorah dismantle the myth of the “perfect co-parent” and trade it for traits that actually work in real life—patience, communication, flexibility, consideration, and shared goals. They get into how social media creates fake benchmarks, why seasons change your parenting energy, and how to keep the kids first without performing perfection. In The Confessional, a listener says they’re always the strict parent while their co-parent plays the fun one—the hosts offer practical ways to align standards across two homes without competing for your child’s approval.New episodes every other Wednesday.SUBMIT YOUR CONFESSION:🔗 confessionsofacoparent.com/confess📧 [email protected] US:IG: ⁠@TheCoParentGoals⁠YouTube: @TheCoParentGoalsTikTok: @TheCoParentGoalsFacebook: @TheCoParentGoals

Holidays are coming—and so are the logistics. Cedric & Devorah get real about splitting Thanksgiving/Christmas, alternating years, celebrating before or after the day, and how flexible plans + clear communication beat rigid rules. They talk long-distance years vs. living closer, why some families need a parenting plan while others freestyle, and how to handle the “I’m missing out” feeling without turning it into a fight. In The Confessional, a listener admits it stings to see her kids love Dad’s new partner. The hosts offer a balanced take on jealousy, boundaries, and healing—because healthy peace > performative togetherness.

Life has definitely been lifing."That's how Devorah opens up in the first episode of Confessions of a Co-Parent's relaunch—and honestly? It's the perfect way to describe what the last two years have looked like for her and Cedric.After a much-needed pause, the co-parents are back with better equipment, fresh energy, and the same unfiltered honesty that made people fall in love with the show in the first place. But this time, they're navigating a completely different season of life.They've moved cities. Christian started middle school. Entrepreneurship threw curveballs. And through it all, they've had to figure out how to keep co-parenting without losing their minds—or each other."We always have to call audibles," Cedric explains when talking about how their flexible co-parenting style has had to shift with every life change. And that's the thing about co-parenting that no one really tells you: just when you think you've got it figured out, something changes.But here's what hasn't changed: their ability to communicate. Their commitment to peace. And their willingness to show up—not just for Christian, but for each other."If we didn't have the relationship where I could say, 'Hey, I'm struggling with this. Like, I need help with this,' I can't even imagine going through the last 2 years," Devorah shares.And that's the heart of this episode—and this entire platform. Co-parenting isn't about being perfect. It's about being present, being flexible, and being willing to do the work even when life gets hard.The Confessional brings a question that hits home for so many parents: Should I stay in an unhappy relationship for my kids, or leave for peace?Cedric and Devorah don't hold back. They talk about the impact of single vs. two-parent households, the reality of trying to co-parent from a place of dysfunction, and why peace isn't a luxury—it's a necessity."I would literally fight for my life to just be able to just be at peace," Devorah says. "I don't know what would have to happen, but I would have to just figure it out."Because at the end of the day, your kids need healthy parents more than they need parents under the same roof.Welcome back to Confessions of a Co-Parent. Same parents. New energy. Real talk.🎧 [Listen to the full episode here]Got a co-parenting confession? DM us @TheCoParentGoals on Instagram , email us or visit confessionsofacoparent.com/confession.
