Summary
New episodes are back! Blair Glaser joins me to talk about how leadership roles, yes, the ones from the boardroom, can help you become a better partner, communicator, and even co-parent during and after divorce. What it comes down to, quite simply, is using leadership for love.
Blair shares how her four-part leadership model applies directly to relationships in transition, including divorce and co-parenting. You'll hear how clarifying roles reduces tension, why creating a shared vision anchors you during conflict, and how to shift dynamics when relationships change.
Whether you're navigating the emotional upheaval of divorce, stepping into a new co-parenting landscape, or preparing for healthier love in the future, this conversation offers practical tools you can start using right now.
Podcast episodes are now available in two formats - audio and video! If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.
