Successful Co-Parenting (Part 1): When Your Partner is Not On Board...

"We don't parent that way."

If you've ever said that to your partner and received a fiery glare in return, don't worry, you're not alone. It's frustrating when you and your partner can't see eye to eye on parenting decisions. Trust me, many couples face this same struggle.

One question we hear all the time from parents who join our program or attend our free workshops is: "What do I do if my spouse isn't on board?" (Yep, that's exactly how they put it.)

In this episode, we're diving deep into this topic. We'll talk about finding common ground, aligning your approaches, and getting your partner on board with the Calm the Chaos way.

Especially when it means straying away from the traditional parenting methods we all grew up with.

In fact, our conversation was so rich that we decided to split it into two episodes. Not just because of that, but because we know this issue hits home for many parents out there.

At the beginning of our parenting journey, Jason and I weren't on the same page. Actually, we faced our fair share of challenges. In this episode, we'll spill many juicy details of our story — the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

You'll get to hear about Jason's experience as a stepdad and how he struggled at first to embrace the Calm the Chaos approach. We had lots of disagreements, worries, and fears about where our parenting adventure was headed.

There was even a point when things hit rock bottom. We reached a breaking point, and for two weeks, our family was split. I took the boys and stayed in a hotel, while Jason sought refuge with our daughter at his parents' place.

I honestly thought we were on the brink of divorce. But we decided to fight for our family, and we've come a long way since then.

So, if you're in a similar situation, feeling like you and your partner will never be on the same page, we want you to know that there's hope. We've been there, and we want to help you navigate through the chaos.

Make sure to tune in to this episode as Jason and I reveal our personal journey and the hurdles we (and countless other parents) had to overcome before becoming a kick-ass parenting team.

Let's do this!
