Co-Parenting Matters March Line-up

We’ve already kicked off our March line-up on Co-Parenting Matters with the “My Co-Parent Has A New Partner…Now What?” episode.  Our guests were Lauren Navratil, founder of the blog, My Life Incomplete, along with her ex-husband, David, and his girlfriend, Sylvia.

Yeah.  You read that right.

Through their honest sharing, we got a glimpse into the lives of two co-parents…and a partner…all of whom are doing their best (and a great job from our perspective) of creating an environment that puts their son’s well being at the center of it all.  As Lauren and David continue to build their co-parenting relationship, Lauren and Sylvia are establishing a friendship that helps them identify ways that they, too, can partner in giving Lauren and David’s son the most loving family experience they can.  We truly admire the the willingness of this family to share themselves, their experiences and insights about parenthood, divorce and co-parenting.

Check out the archive to get some of the gems they shared.  And, be sure to check out Lauren’s guest post, “We Share the Joy of Raising our Son–50/50″ on CoParenting101.org.

And, here’s what’s up the rest of this month:

Co-Parenting, Step-Parenting and Sugar Milk, Oh My!…An Interview with Ron Mattocks

Set your reminder now for what promises to be both an enlightening and entertaining discussion with Ron Mattocks, founder of the popular Daddy blog, “Clark Kent’s Lunchbox” and author of the soon-to-be released “SugarMilk: What One Dad Drinks When He Can’t Afford Vodka.” We’ll learn about the ups and downs of his journey from corporate CEO to stay-at-home Dad, his experiences as a father to three boys and two stepdaughters, and his adventures as a co-parent and newlywed. .And, we’re guaranteed to get all of that served up with a healthy dose of humor. Ron has plenty of insights to share about the aftermath of divorce, readjusting to married life, the awkwardness of being a step-dad, the loss of male identity after being laid off, and ultimately, an understanding of what fatherhood really means. We’re excited to have Ron on the show to celebrate the release of “SugarMilk” and to learn a thing or two about how courage, humility and a little humor can turn life’s challenges into one sweet adventure.
