In this episode, Kate VanderVoort, founder and CEO of Social Mediology and the AI Success Lab, speaks with Tiffany Rochester, a clinical psychologist and co-parenting coach. Tiffany is the founding director of Co-Parenting Companion, an evidence-based service that helps separated parents reduce conflict, communicate effectively, and raise children across two homes with integrity and empathy.
Together, they discuss how AI can simplify co-parenting, remove emotional triggers from communication, and help parents set clear boundaries. Tiffany shares practical AI strategies that parents can implement immediately - along with the hidden risks of using AI without proper guidance.
Key Highlights Tiffany’s Background and Journey- Over 20 years of experience working with complex family dynamics, including high-conflict separation cases in the family court system.
- Transitioned from mandated therapy in court settings to proactive coaching, helping parents create healthy co-parenting relationships before conflicts escalate.
- Inspired by her son’s passion for AI, she began exploring how AI could simplify the administrative and emotional burden of co-parenting.
- AI as a Co-Parenting Ally: How AI can help parents reframe communication, reduce emotional triggers, and avoid reactionary responses.
- Tackling Emotional Emails: Using AI to extract key points, remove inflammatory language, and draft calm, constructive replies.
- Saving Time & Energy: How AI-powered strategies give parents more time to focus on their children instead of constant conflict management.
- AI’s Agreeable Nature: Why AI is designed to affirm users—and how this can reinforce harmful narratives if not used correctly.
- Prompting Mistakes: How biased or leading prompts can generate misleading advice, escalating rather than de-escalating conflict.
- Fact-Checking AI Advice: Why parents should always double-check AI-generated legal or psychological advice to avoid misinformation.
- Are Co-Parenting Apps Still Necessary? Tiffany explains why she no longer recommends most co-parenting apps - and what free AI-powered alternatives work better.
- Customising AI for Co-Parenting Needs: How parents can train AI to reflect compassionate, values-driven communication.
- AI as a Neutral Third Party: How AI can help parents see situations from their co-parent’s perspective, fostering better understanding.
- AI & Autonomous Agents: The exciting future of AI-powered personal assistants that can handle co-parenting logistics and prevent knee-jerk emotional reactions.
