Whether you are seasoned at co-parenting or you're just trying to keep your sanity intact, you're in for a treat! Our special guest in this episode is Leslie Holthoff. She is a certified divorce coach and author who has mastered the art of co-parenting and has some really fantastic insights to share inside this episode. Tune in to hear about the intricacies of joint shared custody, the effects that it has on children and to hear Leslie share her wisdom, her experiences, and maybe a laugh or two along the way.

Leslie is a Doctoral student studying perspectives of joint shared custody through the eyes of adults who have aged out of the two-home system. She holds a B.S. in Psychology from Old Dominion University and a Master of Public Administration from Walden University. She is also a CDC Certified Divorce Coach, CDC Transition and Recovery Coach, member of ICF, real estate investor & agent, author, wife, and mother of two adult sons.

TIMESTAMPS
• [8:25] “When a divorce is imminent… What kind of co-parent do you want to be? Who do you want to be a year from now and three years from now?”
• [18:26] Leslie’s thoughts on a child dealing with two different parenting styles after a divorce: “by having these two different experiences… it allows them to adapt.”
• [24:01] “I hate that the best, most important thing about co-parenting is communication…because that's really the thing you don't want to do after divorce... But it's effective, and it works.”
• [31:39] DJ shares: “What works for one couple or family, may not work at all for another. And neither one is right, neither one is wrong. It just is. And so you make the best you can out of that situation.”
