E7- Navigating the Blend of Transition through Communication
**This week's episode makes reference to sexual abuse. It does not go in depth, but it is mention**
In this week's episode, I talk to Frances about the many challenges that come with co-parenting when you're transitioning through a separation from your spouse while co-parenting 5 children; 1 of whom has special needs.
In this very candid conversation, Frances shares exactly how things have been going and how she navigates the challenges of communication, boundaries and discipline while also learning valuable co-parenting lessons along the way. She pulls no punches as she shares her strong views on how her children should be disciplined and PLEASE don't touch her kids hair..... LOL
Some of ya'll know what I'm talking about!
