Summary
I am back this week with another Q&A-style episode. Full disclosure, I didn't have a podcast episode prepared for this week because I'd been sick and had to keep canceling interviews, but I had an Ask Me Anything (AMA) scheduled for my Facebook group, so I thought it would be fun to share the recording of that on the podcast this week.
In this episode, I answer questions related to co-parenting with an abusive ex, tackling feelings of guilt or anxiety, falling out of love, being triggered in new relationships, and address this really beautiful one, "I just want to know that the children will be okay."
There were so many amazing questions asked and I am so thankful to all of the amazing women who showed up for the live recording. At the end of the day the most important thing is that you show up to do the work, and for your kids. When you do that, then yes, the children will be okay. I hope you enjoy this episode!

| 0:41.2 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back. So I know I just did a Q&A last week, but because I was sick for so |
| 0:50.7 | long, I had to keep canceling recordings with guest experts. I just being totally |
| 0:55.1 | transparent here. So I didn't have any podcast episodes sort of in the can waiting to go this week. |
| 1:01.0 | So I'm better now. I'm almost 100%, finally. So I just did this live Q&A or live Ask Me Anything in our Facebook group. And I thought it would be |
| 1:14.5 | fun to share it here because it was such a great, it's just me talking the whole time. |
| 1:21.9 | They're posting the questions in the group and I'm reading them out loud. And it's all anonymous. |

| 1:40.6 | well, which is I think always important. And, you know, I just want to thank the women who |
| 1:45.9 | came and showed up to, um, this asked me anything because there were a lot of you. And so many |
| 1:51.3 | amazing questions were asked. So important. And, you know, at the end of the day, the most |
| 1:57.7 | important thing is that you guys are doing the work, that you're showing up. |
| 2:01.3 | If you're listening to this podcast, you are showing up. If you are in my Facebook group and you're |

| 2:13.5 | effort a lot of the time, but it does get better. It does get easier. One of the questions that |
| 2:19.4 | was really beautiful that, you know, you'll hear answered in here, but I want to just highlight it was, |
