Episode Description
Divorcing with kids is hard. Divorcing with eight kids can feel impossible. Jen sits down with Bubba Page for a real, practical conversation about how to separate and co-parent in a way that protects your children’s emotional health, keeps routines steady, and lowers the temperature in the home even when your heart is breaking.
We get into “nesting” during separation, where the kids stay in one home and the parents rotate in and out, plus what makes that work and why some families choose it to reduce transitions. Bubba also shares a clear rule that changes everything: no trash talk about the other parent in front of the kids. We talk about age-appropriate communication, why children should never carry adult emotions, and how playing the long game builds trust that lasts into adulthood.
Then we go tactical: one-on-one time that actually fits real life, better questions that get kids talking, emotional check-ins that help them name what they feel, and simple connection rituals like sweet-sour-service at dinner and short nightly “tucking time.” We also cover the logistics side of co-parenting after divorce: week-on/week-off scheduling, carpools, hiring help when possible, and planning daily, weekly, and yearly so work and parenting don’t collide nonstop.
If you’re navigating divorce, betrayal trauma, and co-parenting stress, hit play, share this with a friend who needs steadiness, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. After you listen, will you leave a review and tell us the one tip you’re going to try this week?
