Welcome to Kids First Co-Parenting, the podcast for smart, intentional moms navigating life after divorce with a difficult ex. Your host, Dr. Karalynn Royster, a child psychologist and co-parenting expert, this show offers real-world guidance for mothers raising emotionally secure kids in high conflict family dynamics.
Each episode blends child development insights with concrete strategies for managing co-parenting stress, setting boundaries with a toxic ex, protecting your child from conflict, and finding your footing as a confident, grounded parent. Whether you are navigating high conflict co parenting, parallel parenting, or co parenting with a narcissist, you will learn how to create stability for your kids, support their emotional well-being, and reclaim your own peace of mind.
Topics include co parenting communication, parenting plan mistakes to avoid, tools for dealing with controlling or manipulative exes, managing single mom burnout, and how to disengage strategically without feeling like you are giving up.
