    EP 106: Divorce Doesn't Have to Be a Lonely Journey: Angie Weber on Co-Parenting and Finding the Right Support
    Nov 4 2026
    Going through a divorce or separation can feel completely isolating, often bringing up heavy emotions like guilt, shame, and overwhelm. On this episode of That's Where I'm At, Laura sits down with Angie Weber, co-founder and director of the Divorce Support Collective, to discuss how to build a reliable support system, navigate high-tension co-parenting, and move from surviving to thriving after divorce. Angie shares how her background as a parent coach and creator of the C.A.L.M. Approach to Co-Parenting© led her to help co-parents build better communication, connection, and calm while navigating the challenges of separation. She also explains how she co-founded the Divorce Support Collective, a professional membership community built on the belief that families have better outcomes when the professionals supporting them work together rather than in silos. Through the Collective, Angie also provides people going through divorce with information, education, and support through its website and podcast, Divorce Discussions. Together, Laura and Angie explore the essential legal, financial, and emotional aspects of divorce, highlighting why having a coordinated team of professionals—not just a lawyer—can make all the difference in creating a healthier path forward for families. Key Topics & Timestamps Podcast introduction and welcome (00:00:00) Laura welcomes listeners, emphasizes the importance of breaking the silence around difficult life transitions, and shares the mission of the show. Introducing Angie Weber (00:00:54) Laura introduces her guest, Angie Weber, co-founder and director of the Divorce Support Collective, highlighting her background in parent coaching and the "Calm Approach" to co-parenting. Angie's origin story and the creation of her practice (00:03:50) Angie shares how personal trauma and holistic healing in 2020 inspired her to focus on parenting education and founding the Parent Tool Box. Working with the first co-parenting client (00:06:10) Angie discusses her initial experience coaching a parent navigating a custody agreement update and managing high-conflict co-parenting dynamics. Expanding into divorce support and the three pillars (00:10:30) Angie breaks down the three foundational areas of divorce: Legal, Financial, and Emotional, emphasizing that the emotional side comprises roughly 80% of the process. The "C.A.L.M." Approach to Co-Parenting (00:18:15) Angie details her signature framework: C: Compassionate Communication A: Awareness and Accountability L: Learning Emotional Regulation M: Mindfully Modeling Using professional networks and directories (00:26:00) Angie explains how the Divorce Support Collective directory helps individuals find specialized professionals (CDFAs, divorce coaches, mediators) rather than relying solely on high-cost attorneys. The power of community and breaking the stigma of shame (00:35:00) Laura and Angie discuss releasing shame, avoiding unhealthy comparison traps, and finding safe spaces to heal. The Elephant Metaphor: Finding your "village" (00:47:00) Angie shares the inspiring analogy of mother elephants protecting their vulnerable newborn in a circle, reminding listeners that we cannot—and should not—heal alone. Closing thoughts and where to find the Divorce Support Collective (00:57:00) Angie and Laura wrap up with words of encouragement for anyone currently feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the divorce process. Powerful Quotes from the Episode Angie, "If we're being honest, everyone kind of keeps moving on with their life. And then you're still standing there like, 'Wait a minute, I'm still here. I feel like I can't move forward... now I feel alone and isolated.'" Angie, "When we lose the tolerance for vulnerability, joy becomes forboding. If we're constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, we are going to miss out on the beautiful things that are happening around us in that moment." Angie, "It's not necessarily the divorce that has an effect on the children; it's conflicting co-parenting or high-tension co-parenting that does more damage than the actual divorce itself." Laura, "The minute we bring shame into the light, it's broken. And that's why we keep talking about it."

On That's Where I'm At, Elizabeth joins Laura to discuss navigating heartbreak, family conflict, dating anxiety, and communication breakdowns with grace and self-respect. Elizabeth is an emotional wellbeing expert, celebrated artist, keynote speaker, and the author of the bestselling book Free and First: Unlocking Your Ultimate Life. Through her art, writing, and public speaking, she empowers others to navigate emotional challenges, embrace authenticity, and have courageous conversations.

Elizabeth's background and optimism (00:02:40) Elizabeth discusses growing up as a shy child who always looked on the bright side of life, building what she thought was a secure life with a picket fence and four children. The sudden end of a 25-year marriage (00:05:00) Elizabeth recounts the shock and initial denial of her long-term marriage ending abruptly after a single conversation, leading to a period of heavy loneliness.

Practicing gratitude to attract positivity (00:52:15) They discuss how shifting away from a scarcity mindset and practicing genuine gratitude helps attract better opportunities and supportive people.

Closing and where to find Elizabeth (01:00:30) Laura thanks Elizabeth, shares her website details, and encourages listeners to support the podcast. Powerful Quotes from the Episode Elizabeth, "Once we can actually have that courage to be authentic with what, how we feel and what we need, will then that person can see us for who we are." Elizabeth, "It's really... rediscovering me, finding the truth of me outside of being a mom and being a wife." Elizabeth, "If you're not respecting yourself, you're not loving yourself, well then you could get a lot of disrespect... because your energy attracts it." Laura, "What is 10 minutes that I could do for me that brings me joy, that could bump me up a bit... just get me out of bed in the morning?" Elizabeth, "The worst thing we can do is to keep it within us... We need to find place how to feel it and then how to let it move on." ...
