168. Navigating Co-Parenting with Confidence (Encore)
Today we start our look back at some of the most popular episodes of Co-Parenting with Confidence. In this encore of episode #1, Mikki introduces her journey as a life coach and co-parent, sharing her personal experiences and insights on navigating the challenges of divorce and co-parenting. She emphasizes the importance of mindset, self-awareness, and emotional regulation in becoming a confident co-parent. The episode outlines key pillars of co-parenting, including the power of belief, recognizing choices, and being present with the co-parent in front of you.

We have the power to choose how we respond. Good co-parenting involves seeing the current reality, not past expectations. Self-regulation is key to effective parenting. We can be a stable influence for our children. Creating space allows for better decision-making. Emotional awareness is crucial in co-parenting. This podcast aims to provide actionable tools for co-parents. If this resonates ... you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

166. The Wake-Up Call: Stop Waiting for Life to Slow Down
This episode is for the woman who is doing it all — the one who looks like she's thriving on the outside but feels like she's drowning on the inside. You tell yourself you don’t have time for therapy, coaching, movement, or rest. You’ve become so used to tending to everyone else’s needs that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to choose yourself. But here’s the truth: life won’t slow down until you do. In this episode, we look at the turning point — the decision to stop arguing for your limitations and start reparenting yourself with the love, boundaries, and truth you’ve always needed. This is the moment you stop waiting and start choosing something better. If you are sick of your own excuses and want someone to walk you through another option, let’s talk. Grab a spot on my calendar so we can discuss what is happening for you and create a roadmap to liberation.

165. The Haircut and the Healing: Reclaiming Who You’re Becoming After Divorce
After divorce, we’re often so focused on survival — holding everything together for our kids, managing co-parenting, and keeping up appearances — that we forget we’re allowed to change. In this episode, I share a personal story about the worst haircut of my life — how it became a symbol of my lowest point, and why I avoided cutting my hair for 10 years. What started as a simple act of self-care became a wound I carried far longer than I realized. Until now. This is a conversation about shedding outdated identities, releasing the fear of becoming someone new, and learning to choose yourself again. Whether you're newly divorced or years into this journey, this episode will remind you: healing gives you permission to evolve. I am always here to help you get clarity on the next step in your life, whether that is making a big relationship change, shifting your parenting, or determining what support you need.

163. Parenting with Purpose: Trusting Your Inner Wisdom in Difficult Moments
In this episode, we explore how tuning into your inner wisdom and core values can be your greatest guide in parenting and co-parenting — especially during times of conflict or stress. When emotions run high, it’s easy to react rather than respond. But by reconnecting with your deeper sense of self and what truly matters, you can parent from a place of clarity, confidence, and calm. We’ll discuss practical ways to cultivate self-trust, regulate your nervous system, and make decisions that align with your values, even in challenging situations. Whether you’re co-parenting after divorce or navigating everyday parenting struggles, this episode will help you stay grounded and lead with intention. Key takeaways to help you stay grounded and intentional: Your Inner Wisdom is Your Greatest Guide – The answers are already within you. Pause and ask, What kind of parent do I want to be in this moment? Regulation Before Reaction – A dysregulated nervous system leads to reactive parenting. Breathe, ground yourself, and respond from clarity instead of stress. Values Over Ego – Parenting challenges can trigger fear or the need to "win." Shift your focus to love, patience, and wisdom rather than control. Detach from Drama, Focus on What You Can Control – You can’t change your co-parent’s behavior, but you can control your own energy and responses. Emotional Independence is Key – Your child thrives when you model emotional stability. Their well-being is shaped by your regulation, not external circumstances. Decision-Making from Integrity – When making parenting choices, ask: * Does this align with my core values? * Will this serve my child’s emotional well-being in the long run? Repair Over Perfection – You won’t always get it right, and that’s okay. Model repair by taking responsibility, apologizing if needed, and reconnecting with love. Parenting is not about getting it perfect — it’s about showing up with intention, emotional steadiness, and trust in yourself. Which of these resonates with you the most?
