| 6/8/26 |  The Ex Wants to Meet – Should You Say Yes? | Ep 52 | So... the high conflict ex wants to meet with you. She says “it’s not unreasonable to want to meet the woman who’ll be living with my kids.” And it’s not unreasonable... if it was coming from someone reasonable. You immediately know this is a loaded invitation. Now you feel trapped between two bad options – meet and risk being interrogated and having your words twisted, or refuse and risk being painted as rude and uncooperative. So is saying yes the right thing to do? Does s... | 15m 05s | ||||||
| 5/30/26 | When the High Conflict Ex Is Suddenly Nice... How to Handle It | Ep 51 | You're suspicious. Of course you are. The ex has been hostile for months. And then one day… she’s suddenly being nice. It's weird. She must be up to something. But no one else seems to think so. Your partner thinks things are settling down. Maybe your friends think she's finally coming around. And now you wonder – am I just cynical? Today I'm going to show you what's really behind this weird ‘nice’ behaviour of hers, and what to do the next time it happens. 👉 Episode ... | 13m 21s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | How to Hold Your Boundaries With the Ex When It Gets Hard | Ep 50 | You set a boundary. You meant it. Then the ex lost her s**t, your partner caved, and you backed down. Now you're back where you started. Here's the thing. The reason this happens is not just because boundaries are hard. It's because most of us don't actually know how to hold a boundary. Holding a boundary is a skill. And today, I'm going to show you how to do it. 👉 Ep 13: Setting Boundaries With the Ex When You're Terrified of What She’ll Do 👉 Grab my FREE Escalation-P... | 18m 51s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | Why Won't She Respect My Boundaries? High Conflict Ex Q&A | Ep 49 | Boundaries with a high conflict ex are harder than anyone tells you. In this Q&A I'm answering real boundary questions from stepmums: She ignores every boundary we set. How do you actually get a high conflict ex to respect them?She keeps contacting me directly. Should I say something – or just block her?Every time I ignore her I feel so guilty, and then I give in. How do I stop?I resent my partner for not setting boundaries. Am I wasting my energy trying to help him?I set a boundary, the ... | 13m 38s | ||||||
| 5/5/26 | How to Stop the Ex From Ruining Your Pregnancy | Ep 48 | You're pregnant. You and your partner are building something together. Something that is finally, completely, entirely yours. This was supposed to be one of the best moments of your life. But instead of just getting to enjoy it, you're already thinking about what the high conflict ex is going to do to ruin it. The threats. The financial demands. The things she'll say to the kids. This is supposed to be your moment and you feel like she's stealing it. Today I'm talking about why sh... | 16m 17s | ||||||
| 4/26/26 | How to Finally Step Back from the Drama & Stay There (Part 3/3) | Ep 47 | There's a difference between deciding to step back and actually being able to stay there. From the kind of stepping back where you decide to stop doing something but inside you're still fuming... to the kind where you can actually step back, without the resentment or guilt. This is part 3 of my series on disengaging from the drama – and this is the episode that takes you from "I've tried stepping back and it never works" to "I finally know how to step back and stay there." 👉 Episode Show Note... | 16m 14s | ||||||
| 4/17/26 | How to Stop Getting Pulled Back Into the Drama (Part 2/3) | Ep 46 | You told yourself you were done stepping in. So why do you keep ending up in the middle of the drama again? Something is keeping you emotionally tied – and once you understand what it is, what you're doing starts to make sense. In this episode I'm going to show you exactly what's going on and give you something practical you can use today to start to change it. This is part 2 on my series on disengaging – not from your partner, or your family, but from needing something to go a certain ... | 12m 17s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | When Stepping Back from the Drama Isn't Working (Part 1/3) | Ep 45 | You've tried stepping back. Maybe more than once. You told yourself you were going to let your partner handle it. That you've had enough of dealing with the drama. And for a little while, it almost worked. But then he came home stressed after dealing with the ex. Or his phone went off with her endless messages. And before you knew it, you were right back in the middle – managing, fixing, trying to hold it all together. Again. So why does stepping back feel impossible? It's not bec... | 13m 43s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | Should You Respond or Ignore Her? High Conflict Communication Q&A | Ep 44 | You know you shouldn't react to the ex. But understanding that and actually doing it in the moment are two different things. In this Q&A episode, I'm answering real communication questions from stepmums: She sent accusations I had nothing to do with. I didn't respond – did I do the right thing?If I don't defend myself, won't she just think she's right?Every time I ignore her, she gets worse. What am I doing wrong?She keeps threatening to take it to her lawyer. Do we have to respond?I know... | 13m 44s | ||||||
| 3/27/26 | How to Survive a High Conflict Court Battle Without Losing Your Mind | Ep 43 | You're terrified this court battle is going to cost you everything – your money, your relationship, yourself. The legal fees are bleeding you both dry. And it costs you in ways that go beyond that – the holidays you can't take, the house you can't buy, a future that keeps getting pushed further out. And the arguments between you two are getting more frequent. Going through an endless custody battle gets inside your head. And it starts to change who you are. You're more anxious than you ... | 13m 39s | ||||||

| 3/17/26 | The Mistakes That Destroy Your Family Court Case | Ep 42 | When you’re going through family court, everything you say, everything you do – the ex could twist it and use it against you. So you and your partner have been treading carefully. Explaining every time she accuses you of anything because you don’t want it to look like she’s right. You're probably also letting her bad behaviour slide. Avoiding things you shouldn't be avoiding. Because the last thing you want is to hand her ammunition she can twist for court. And that fear makes per... | 15m 23s | ||||||
| 3/11/26 | How to Win in Family Court Against a High Conflict Ex | Ep 41 | You've watched it happen. She walks into a custody battle confident, emotional, compelling – and somehow, she's believable, even when pretty much everything she claims is false. Meanwhile, your partner walks in with the truth. And the truth should be enough, right? It's not. Not when you're up against a high conflict ex. And here's why. High conflict people are skilled at presenting their story. They know exactly the impression they want to leave. And unless your partner kn... | 12m 24s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | Why the Ex Keeps Winning in Family Court | Ep 40 | You've read the ex's affidavit – the one that described your home as unstable, your partner as irresponsible, you as a bad influence on the kids. And you thought... surely the judge will see through this. Surely the truth will come out. And then it didn't. If you've ever been through family court with a high conflict ex and walked away wondering how she keeps getting the outcome she wants – this episode will finally give you an answer. Because the court isn't doing what you think it's doing. ... | 13m 11s | ||||||
| 2/24/26 | Why the Ex Keeps Taking You to Court | Ep 39 | Another lawyer letter. Another court threat from the ex. Here we go again. You know how this goes. You and your partner spend time, money, and energy going through a whole court process that ends up... usually where you already were. And just when life starts to settle down again, something else comes up. A new complaint. And it starts again. It's not just the cost, the time, and the stress of family court. It's also what it does to the rest of your life. It’s hard to build anything sta... | 10m 26s | ||||||
| 2/18/26 | How to Shut Down Her Toxic Messages – Without Overthinking | Ep 38 | Draft. Delete. Rewrite. Delete. An hour later, you're still there, trying to figure out how to answer the ex's latest awful message in a way that doesn't set her off again. But no matter how carefully you word it, no matter how reasonable you are, it never lands the way you hope. And tomorrow, or next week, there'll be another message, and you'll be right back here again. Hoping that this time, if you just get the wording right, she'll finally hear you. But she won’t. Because she'... | 15m 43s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | When You've Lost Yourself in the Ex’s Drama & Don't Know How to Get Out | Ep 37 | When was the last time you did something that had nothing to do with her? Something that was just yours. Not about managing the kids. Not about your partner's stress. Not about the next court date or the latest text. Maybe you can't even remember. Because right now, dealing with a high conflict ex takes up your time, your energy, your thoughts, your conversations. And without even realising it, the things you used to care about have disappeared. Your goals. Your friendships. The parts o... | 10m 22s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | When You’re Losing Hope That Things Will Get Better | Ep 36 | You didn't know it was going to be like this. When you started this relationship, you thought the drama would settle down. That things would get easier. That eventually, you'd get to just enjoy your life together. But here you are – 1 year in, maybe 2 or 3, maybe even more – and you're still waiting for that future to arrive. And now the reality is starting to sink in. This might not change. It might always be like this. And the thought of that can leave you feeling exhausted, numb, and... | 9m 30s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | 4 Truths I Learned the Hard Way After 6 Years Dealing With a High Conflict Ex | Ep 35 | Six years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Because you don't know what this is like until you're in it, and then you don't know what to do to fix it. But here's what I've learned since then – four truths that completely changed how I handle this situation with the high conflict ex. If you're burnt out from trying everything and getting nowhere, and you're wondering if you'll ever figure this out – this episode will give you the answers you need. I learned the hard way – but ... | 14m 05s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | When the Ex Withholds Information About the Kids | Ep 34 | The ex didn't tell your partner about the doctor's appointment. Again. Or the school event. Or the medication change. Or the parent-teacher conference. And now he’s calling the doctor, the pharmacy, the school, trying to piece together what's happening with his own child. You've watched this play out so many times. And here's what makes it so frustrating – he keeps trying to get her to communicate. But it never works. Because this isn't about poor communication. It's about control. Toda... | 14m 55s | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | Why the Ex Escalates When Nothing Happened | Ep 33 | Things have been quiet lately. And now suddenly, there's chaos. A lawyer letter. A sudden accusation. A demand that makes absolutely no sense. And you're standing there thinking "What did we do? Where is this even coming from?" But there WAS a trigger. You just missed it. The problem with that though, is if you don’t know where the escalation is coming from, you end up wasting energy on the wrong problem. In this episode, I'll show you how to find the trigger and reveal the pattern unde... | 10m 30s | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | The Cost of Always Being the 'Bigger Person' While the Ex Does Whatever She Wants | Ep 32 | You're doing all the work to keep things civil. You manage yourself. You think before you respond. You try to stay calm when you want to scream. And the ex? She gets to do whatever she wants. She sends nasty texts, creates chaos, manipulates the kids, and faces no consequences whatsoever. And it's unfair that you have to be the bigger person while she’s the one being awful. But that unfairness isn't the thing that's hurting you most. It's the resentment you're carrying about it. And tha... | 10m 17s | ||||||
| 12/30/25 | How to Stop Spiralling When the Ex Triggers You | Ep 31 | Imagine having a system where you can stop spiralling within 30 minutes after you’ve been triggered by the ex. Not three hours. Not three days. 30 minutes. You know you shouldn't engage when she sends those messages. You know you should have boundaries. You know you should stay calm. But here's the problem. You can't. You’re triggered, and you can’t stop the mental loop. And even though you told yourself you wouldn't engage this time – you find yourself doing it anyway. You respon... | 11m 04s | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | Why You Spiral for Days After the Ex Triggers You | Ep 30 | You know that feeling when you've been triggered. She sends that text, makes that comment, and instantly, your heart's pounding. You feel shaky. Then you react. Maybe you snap. Maybe you say something you regret. And then the spiral starts. Hours later, you're still thinking about it. You try to focus on work – but you can't. That night, you're awake at 2am, still replaying it. The next day, you're exhausted. Short-tempered. And beating yourself up. "Why can't I just let this go?" Well, there... | 9m 41s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | How to Stop Reacting to the Ex's Manipulation | Ep 29 | Imagine the ex tries to manipulate you, and you just... don't react. Instead, you just go about your day. She has no power over you. Sounds nice, right? But that's not what's happening. What's actually happening is this – she says something and immediately you're frustrated. You start explaining. Defending. She comes back with something ridiculous. Now you're angry. And the cycle continues. Here's why you can’t stop – you're trying to force yourself to stay calm while your brain is screaming ... | 10m 23s | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | How to Know If You're Being Manipulated by the High Conflict Ex | Ep 28 | You walk away from a conversation with the ex and feel... confused. Guilty, even. You know she was in the wrong. But somehow, by the end of it, you or your partner were apologising. Did she just manipulate you? Or are you just overthinking it? Here's the truth: if you're confused, there's a good chance you're being manipulated. And the worst part is that you start doubting yourself. Maybe you ARE remembering it wrong. Maybe this really IS your fault. But it's not. And toady, I'm going to show... | 14m 55s | ||||||
