0:00.0	Are you dealing with a high conflict biomom? HCBM is what they're referred to in the chat rooms,
0:06.4	which by the way, I hate the term high conflict BM. I will talk more about that later. But
0:11.4	here's the deal. When I ask stepmoms who come into my world what the hardest part is and why
0:16.9	they decided to work with me or connect with me, they usually say something about the X.
0:21.5	So she's high conflict or she's controlling. She manipulates my husband. She influences the kids.
0:26.4	So the list goes on, but it usually has to do with the X. And dealing with an X, especially a high

1:11.3	I walked in on him and the ex arguing in the driveway about extra expenses. It was so uncomfortable.
1:16.8	It was so unnecessary and it was so costly. And if I could go back, there are so many things that I
1:22.2	would do differently. But now we have really been able to transform our higher conflict co-parenting
1:27.4	relationship. And I want to help you get here too. So on March 26th, I am host. But now we have really been able to transform our higher conflict co-parenting relationship,
1:28.0	and I want to help you get here too.
1:30.1	So on March 26, I am hosting a live coaching experience.
