TWR 337: Morgan Foster: Thriving After Divorce with Co-Parenting Mindset Shifts and Conflict Resolution Tips
Do you find yourself exhausted from constantly juggling everything on your own as a single parent? I know I felt that way at first… In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, divorce attorney turned co-parenting expert Morgan Foster joins me to share her top advice for navigating co-parenting challenges. We discuss letting go of things that are no longer your responsibility and focusing on the big picture of raising healthy, happy kids together. We also dive into setting clear boundaries and expectations early on, handling common co-parenting disputes, prioritizing your own self-care as a single mom, and much more. Morgan Foster is an experienced family law attorney who spent 20 years practicing in the traditional legal system, with a focus on complex divorce and custody cases. Driven by her belief that the best outcomes for families are achieved through chosen resolutions designed by clients and their partners rather than litigation, Morgan started her own company to provide alternative solutions. As a divorced mother of two young boys who has followed the process she now offers to others, Morgan enjoys a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband and has observed her own children thrive through and beyond divorce.

Shifting your mindset to view your ex as a co-parent, understanding your rights and responsibilities, and fostering a low-conflict environment is crucial for successful co-parenting. Divorce itself is not as damaging to children as ongoing parental conflict. By minimizing conflict, encouraging involvement from both parents and supporting children's emotional processing, kids can thrive after divorce.
