Summary
In today's expert episode, I'm talking with Sarah Armstrong, author of The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce and Vice President of Global Marketing Operations at Google. Sarah is sharing her personal experience navigating her divorce 15 years ago while prioritizing her daughter Grace. We discuss the concept of a "good divorce" and how Grace herself coined the term, the practical ways Sarah kept her daughter's well-being front and center, and how she built her compartmentalization muscle to manage big emotions. We also talk about how to put together a co-parenting plan, what to do when your ex isn’t cooperative, how small details (like family photos around the house) matter to kids, and how to envision a new future for yourself post-divorce. Sarah’s story is full of hope and concrete advice—her book is an amazing resource for anyone navigating divorce or co-parenting and wanting to do it in a way that feels healthy and positive for their kids.
