More Episodes

As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, Ang has been partnering with a new app “TalkingParents.”, which aims to help separated parents communicate and co-parent with ease. This week on the show, Ang is delighted to be joined by its creator and founder Stephen Nixon. In this interview, Stephen explains how a family law case he was involved in made him realise that there was a practical solution to a universal problem faced by separated parents all over the world and, how his solution, ‘The TalkingParents App’, can lead to a healthy, court free relationship with your ex.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

● When Stephen’s brother left the law firm that they had established together, Stephen found himself thrust into the world of family law. He explains how his experience on a particular case inspired him to launch the TalkingParents app.

● Whilst some relationships between parents can turn sour after a divorce, some do stay civil and, these people, do not see the need to record their communication. But, as Stephen explains, TalkingParents can be an effective tool, regardless of the relationship with your ex.

● One of the features on the TalkingParents app is the ‘shared calendar.’ Stephen explains how this is different to a regular calendar and how it enables both parties to have a comprehensive, up to date understanding of what they have agreed to. 

● With a lot of parenting apps on the market these days it takes something special to stand out. Stephen details how TalkingParents, with its wide range of unique features, makes it a leader in the field.

BEST MOMENTS

“Even if your children don’t see the arguments they are still feeding off your emotions and that will negatively affect them.”

“It’s amazing how much time is wasted in court with things that could have been resolved sooner.”

“A lot of people that go to family court end up going back several times. Good communication can help prevent this, and the scaling costs.”

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Do I Really Hate Men?

Interesting question and one I have asked myself many times. This is not an ‘I hate men’ podcast neither is it just an account of my divorce and the many awful events leading up to and during it. This podcast is a safe space to delve into what happens when relationships end, it provides guidance on how to carry on being a functioning adult and/or Single Mum when you feel broken inside.

 

This podcast provides hope sprinkled with humour, at times its emotional at times inspiring and at times sad. I have a message to share with women around the world, come join me and your global sisters for a weekly dose of Superhero Mum inspiration and stories.

NOTE – I need you to know that I don’t hate men! It’s important that you know there are many great men out there. Many fantastic fathers and single fathers trying hard to do a great job. I know little about the struggles of single fathers; however, I presume they are numerous common issues we share with these amazing men who strive to do the right thing by their children.
