In this episode, we’re taking you all the way back to where our co‑parenting journey really began—the uncomfortable moments, the hesitant conversations, and the slow, sometimes messy, always human steps that took us from “umm… hi?” to becoming true teammates for our kids.

We open up about the early days: the awkward energy, the uncertainty. We walk through the turning points, the small but powerful choices, and the moments of honesty and vulnerability that helped us start building trust.

We also read and respond to some of the incredible comments and questions we received this past week. From listeners who are in the thick of high‑conflict situations, to those hoping to rebuild trust, to people just dipping their toes into blended‑family life, you showed up with so much heart, and we wanted to hold space for that.

And finally, we talk about what “extending the olive branch” really looks like in real life. Not a big dramatic gesture. Not instant forgiveness. Not pretending things didn’t happen. But simple, steady steps: choosing kindness, creating boundaries, giving each other grace, and recognizing that peaceful co‑parenting isn’t just possible, it becomes powerful when everyone involved is committed to love, stability, and being a safe place for the kids at the center of it all.

If you’ve ever wondered how to go from strained to supportive, or how to start slowly when you’re ready for change, this episode is your roadmap… and your reminder that it’s okay to take it one honest conversation at a time.
