421: The Ugly Truth of Divorce: Co-Parenting, Parental Alienation, and the Power of Emotional Regulation

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Samantha Boss—divorce coach, parenting advocate, and truth-teller behind “The Ugly Truth of Divorce.” Samantha shares her raw, unfiltered journey through a high-conflict divorce, co-parenting with a diagnosed narcissist, and the long road to healing—not just for herself, but for her children. 

We talk about the parts of divorce no one prepares you for: the manipulation, the guilt, the courtroom chaos, and the silent trauma children absorb when parents are too overwhelmed to see the signs. 

This episode isn’t just for those navigating divorce. It’s a masterclass in emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and reclaiming your parenting power in the face of chaos. If you're struggling to co-parent with someone toxic—or you feel like you’ve lost yourself trying to keep the peace—this conversation will bring clarity, courage, and hope.
