Summary

You might not have heard of Katherine Woodward Thomas, but you've probably heard of the 'conscious uncoupling' process she created after Gwenyth Paltrow made it famous during her divorce from Chris Martin. This is a tricky subject to tackle, but the sad fact is 50% of marriages (I don't know the stats on co-habitation) will end. Having seen my own parents divorce, I'm passionate about sharing how we can learn to end relationships in such a way that minimises damage to our children. Who doesn't want to do that? Katherine and I chat about: - What really impacts our children (hint: it isn't divorce or break up) - How to create a 'happily even after' family - Katherine's own divorce and the impact on her daughter - What conscious uncoupling is and the 5 step process through it Hope you enjoy the episode, let me know on instagram @motherkind_zoe http://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

1:27.1	Now, you might not have heard of her, but you will definitely have heard of her work. She was the psychotherapist who developed the process and coined the phrase conscious uncoupling, which a certain Gwyneth Paltrow made famous in 2014 when she divorced Chris Martin.
1:45.7	And I was so excited to sit down with Catherine.
1:48.5	I have read a lot of her work.
1:51.2	And I know it's come under criticism of being a bit sort of woo-woo and a bit LA.
1:55.9	And I think that's probably because of how it came into the consciousness so quickly through Gwyneth and her
2:02.8	sight goop.
