Do you find yourself exhausted from constantly juggling everything on your own as a single parent? I know I felt that way at first…
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, divorce attorney turned co-parenting expert Morgan Foster joins me to share her top advice for navigating co-parenting challenges.
We discuss letting go of things that are no longer your responsibility and focusing on the big picture of raising healthy, happy kids together. We also dive into setting clear boundaries and expectations early on, handling common co-parenting disputes, prioritizing your own self-care as a single mom, and much more.
Morgan Foster is an experienced family law attorney who spent 20 years practicing in the traditional legal system, with a focus on complex divorce and custody cases. Driven by her belief that the best outcomes for families are achieved through chosen resolutions designed by clients and their partners rather than litigation, Morgan started her own company to provide alternative solutions. As a divorced mother of two young boys who has followed the process she now offers to others, Morgan enjoys a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband and has observed her own children thrive through and beyond divorce.

Have you ever felt like your true self got lost along the way while juggling life's many roles and challenges?
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I chat with Sarah Schmidt about overcoming life's biggest challenges to find renewed meaning and joy. Sarah shares how at age 52, after two divorces and a battle with cancer, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that involved getting out of her head and into her body to process difficult emotions.
We discuss the challenges of navigating divorce while prioritizing children's emotional well-being, the importance of vulnerability in parenting, the journey of finding purpose in midlife and much much more.
Sarah has her PsyD in Clinical Psychology, a Masters in Pastoral Counseling, and has a Health Coach Certification. She is a woman with no shortage of these life moments – from growing up in a small, Catholic town in Wisconsin with a mom who spent 12 years in a convent, to discovering she was in love with a woman to getting diagnosed with cancer, to adopting a son with sickle cell disease, to having her first natural birth at 44, to navigating a second divorce– and beyond. Many might experience some of these events in their lifetime, but few have experienced them all in one.
