Co-Parenting in Chaos: How to Find Peace When the Pattern Follows You

What if the chaos in your co-parenting relationship has nothing to do with your ex, and everything to do with the patterns neither of you has broken yet?

It's a question that sits heavy for so many parents in the messy middle. Whether you're still in the marriage or already on the other side of it, the dynamics have a way of following you until something shifts from the inside.

In this episode, Lauren Dry sits down with Lieve De Lint, IFS therapist, somatic coach, and one of the expert coaches inside Rise into Regulation™, for a raw and grounding conversation about co-parenting in chaos, what keeps us stuck, and what it actually takes to find peace.

You'll hear about

• Why separation doesn't always end the conflict and what actually breaks the cycle
• The role of shame in co-parenting and why it's the most corrosive force in any relationship
• What the Grey Rock method really means and why nervous system regulation makes it possible
• How to stop trying to control the other parent and come back to what's yours to hold
• What to do when you're in the messy middle and hope feels completely out of reach

Chaos doesn't have to be the constant. This conversation is a gentle, honest place to begin finding your way back to clarity and ease.
