Join us in this episode as we chat with video producer Harry Kersh about navigating the holiday season with separated parents. We explore strategies for handling the logistics of festive celebrations and gain insights on prioritizing your own well-being during this season of giving.

In this episode we invited Andrea Valgoi to share his experience as a child of divorce often caught in his parent's open conflict and cross-fire. He shares some of the mindsets and tools he found helpful on his healing journey - transcending his pain by focusing on self-reflection and growth, finding his centre and making a conscious effort to break free from negative family patterns. This conversation was a great reminder of the power each of us holds to transform our tough experiences as (adult) children of divorce into sources of strength and resilience.

This week, we’re sitting down with Jenni Jostock, whose parents separated when she was 14 years old. We compare our experiences, and come to realise that there can be a lot of similarities between Adolescent and Adult Children of Divorce. Jenni also gives us tips on how to best navigate the early stages of being part of a blended family, and shares some of her learnings and resulting mindsets from her parents’ separation.

In this episode we discuss our experience of dissolving our family home as a result of our parents separating. Selling and leaving the home you grew up in - the home that is symbolic of family, safety and stability - is not easy, regardless of the reasoning behind this. We reflect and share the advice that we wish we could have given ourselves ahead of the daunting task of supporting our parents in the emptying of our family home, and read excerpts of an article written by a fellow adult child of divorce on what he learned from dissolving his family home.

Join us as Sophia shares her experience of our parents' separation. We talk about the initial pressure she felt to help "bring our father back", the impact our parent's separation had on her university experience and the importance of learning how to let go.
