About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of coparenting with a toxic ex and offers strategies for managing high-conflict dynamics.

Let’s be real, coparenting is hard. Coparenting with a toxic ex? It’s like a group project with the classmate who never does the work. This week, Liat sits down with twin sisters, certified family mediators, and Boundary Badass authors Jan and Jillian Yuhas to break down high-conflict dynamics, coercive control, and what boundaries actually look like in real life. They cover red flags of toxic and narcissistic behavior, how to stop taking the bait, and how to protect your peace (and your kid’s mental health) when emotions run high. Not a coparent? Still relevant. If you’ve dealt with a manipulative ex, a high-conflict family member, or someone who always has to control the narrative, this conversation is for you. We’re talking self-regulation, clear communication, and holding boundaries without losing your mind. Connect with Jan & Jillian: Website Instagram Facebook Substack LinkedIn Get the Book!
