    Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight explores a difficult but necessary conversation about healing in the co-parenting journey.Co-parenting has a way of exposing wounds we didn’t even realize were still there.

What part of co-parenting still triggers me emotionally?2. When I get triggered, what wound might that reaction be connected to?3. What would healing look like for me in this season of co-parenting?If this episode resonated with you, please share it with another co-parent who may need encouragement today.Support the showI'm here to support you. 🤲🏾Need support navigating your coparenting journey?Schedule a complimentary call:https://form.typeform.com/to/NJggSO? 💌 Stay Connected:Loved this episode?
