Welcome back fam to PART 2 of Divorce & Co-parenting with Michelle Dempsey-Multack. If you have not checked out part 1 it is sooo good. Anybody who is going through a divorce or separation or if you know somebody who is, I highly recommend you checking out part 1. Today we are getting started with part 2 so let's do this!
In this episode…
Rediscovering what you like and who you areBecoming a better parent Guilt vs. shame Social media hate Creating your own identity Finding your co-parenting groove Introducing new partners to your childrenQuotes
“You gotta make sure you’re with somebody you want and not somebody you need.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“Co-parenting is underrated, it's made me a better parent.” - Nikki Spo
“You really have to understand the difference between guilt and shame. Are you guilty of doing something bad or do you feel ashamed because somewhere along the line you believed you weren’t allowed to have your own identity as a mother or a person.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“Social media has become so black and white but when it comes to divorce you have to live in the gray. Get comfortable in the gray as a co-parent because that's your life” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“What good co-parenting is is supporting your child's relationship with the other parent, staying in your lane and letting them be the parent they need to be, and following your parenting plan. It doesn’t need to be more difficult than that.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack

Welcome back! I’ve been thinking a lot about social media, its impact on my life, its potential future impact on my kids' lives, and how to navigate life in a more intentional and less distracted way. So today I'm really excited for my chat with Palak Dave who is a versatile entrepreneur, speaker, and the author of "Beautiful Every Days," a guidebook to living in the here and now. I'm excited to join Palak today to discuss her transformative journey where each day offers the chance to live beautifully here in the now.
In this episode…
Digital distractions Face to face interactions Human connections Passive connection Community & Connection The nitty gritty Hustle cultureQuotes
“My goal is to get people to see that we don't have to completely remove the digital parts of our lives, we have to lean into things so that we can fill our cups with more of what we love and what we know we need, but we might not be doing for ourselves.” - Palak Dave
“Chances are if you're going through something there are other people going through the same thing and it's just a matter of acknowledging it and raising those topics so that people feel like they can be connected.” - Palak Dave
“Ask deep questions from a place of curiosity instead of having an outcome that you're trying to get to.” - Palak Dave
“I think that curiosity is a solution to a lot of things, even arguments. Asking for clarification for things can solve so much.” - Nikki Spo
“You can reclaim your time and have it be so it's not controlling you.” - Nikki Spo
“You can be really intentional without it having to be the f***ing Pinterest board.” - Nikki Spo
“I think a lot of us don't know what our deep inner knowing is. Like we have it, but we can't identify it. But for me it's been like a constant pull trying to pull me back home to myself.” - Nikki Spo

What’s up fam! Today we are welcoming back Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri for another conversation about narcissism and how to navigate it. This is part two of a multi-part series that we are doing and I'm really honored to have this opportunity to chat with her again. In our previous episode together, we talked about some of the different types of narcissism and narcissism in general and today we are focusing on the effects of being in a relationship with a narcissistic person. Tune in!
In this episode…
Spectrum of personality traits Relationship patterns of narcissism Love bombing The 3 C’sRed flags Trauma bondingDIMMER - what it means and what to look forGaslightingQuotes:
“Narcissists come across as being really curious about you, but really what they're doing is they're collecting as much information so that they can use it against you.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Trauma bonded is trauma occurring within the relationship and that is the bond between the two.” - Nikki Spo
“Gaslighting mostly occurs by a person who you trust.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Lying is a denial of reality and gaslighting goes on to dismantle the target.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“I've learned over the years that I can't control how other people treat me or what they do to me or what they say to me or how they try to make me feel. I can only control my reaction to things and how I respond to those situations.” - Nikki Spo
“You can't gaslight me because I know myself. I know who I am. But when you are in a space of not knowing who you are and slowly your self-worth is being chipped away at and that breaks down over and now you feel like your self-worth is completely diminished, that person is easy to gaslight.” - Nikki Spo
“Gaslighting is the pathologically insecure person who's preying on the conventionally insecure person.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Let's not blame the victim. Let's give them the support that they need. Let's give them the understanding.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri

What’s up fam! Today I am welcoming back a woman who I feel comfortable enough now to call a regular, Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri, for a conversation about narcissism and how to navigate it. Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri is a licensed mental health counselor. With nearly 20 years of experience nationally and internationally, she has worked in government, private practice and school settings. Her approach focuses on providing a safe and empathetic environment for clients to heal and become resilient and empowering them to reclaim their strength. Let’s jump in!
In this episode…
Education around narcissismNarcissistic abuse Different types of narcissism Self worth/respect vs. narcissistic tendencies Attention seeking The vulnerable narcissist The grandiose narcissistThe malignant narcissistQuotes:
“I think the sign of a really great psychologist or any type of professional is somebody who's willing to keep learning about it.” - Nikki Spo
“Remember that the arrogance and the envy of others and the grandiosity is really just covering up a deep level of insecurity.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“I have a self esteem that's not dependent on somebody else. For a narcissist, it's completely and solely based on what other people think of them.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri
“Narcissism is a problem in relationships because what it's doing is it's hurting the people in these relationships much more than it's hurting the narcissist.” - Dr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri

What is up my loves and welcome back to The Know! Today we are going to chat about a pretty controversial topic…which is polyamory and consensual non-monogamy with Dr. Joli Hamilton. Dr. Joli Hamilton is the relationship coach for couples who color outside of the lines and she is the founder of the Year of Opening. She has spent the past two decades studying and reimagining what love can be if we open our imaginations to possibilities. Keep an open mind and buckle up babes because it's gonna get hot!
In this episode…
The Jungian approach Authenticity Archetype The child, the self, the shadow, the parent, the otherShadow qualities Ego strength Monogamous person vs. polyamorous person CompersionQuotes:
“The Jungian approach is one that looks at everything, every symptom, every symbol as an opportunity to know more, not just about ourselves personally, but also to know about the collective.” - Dr. Joli Hamilton
“Some of the things that have gotten me through my hardest times in life and the trauma and the really difficult things that I have faced in recent years, especially, is being able to see the beauty in some of the really, really ugly parts of life.” - Nikki Spo
“I need to come to know the child, I need to come to know the parental archetypes, the others, all of the others that we find in our romances, and the shadow. And if I don't recognize the shadow that dark bit that you were talking about in there, that messy horrible evil bit that's in there, if I don't recognize that I'm gonna project it all over other people.” - Dr. Joli Hamilton
“You can't share your trauma with everybody because not everybody has the capacity to hold it, and that's okay.” - Nikki Spo
“I encourage you to journal, to listen to your dreams, to start writing down what's going on inside of you because if you can start to just sort out what is being projected onto you versus what is authentically yours, that's the beginning of individuation.” - Dr. Joli Hamilton
“If you feel called to have multiple partners, let's do it well, let's not cheat, and let’s not lie. Let's build a life where this can be done in a nice way that weaves in just the right amount of openness for you and lets you not hurt other people and treat them like objects.” - Dr. Joli Hamilton

What's up fammm! Today we are talking about money with Amber Frankhuizen, who is on a mission to heal the financial fight or flight response by providing easy investing techniques for beginners. She likes to take the fear out of managing our scary finances. Tune in to hear more about this LOADED topic!
In this episode..
Money freedom vs. money buying happiness A healthy & unhealthy money relationship Why women are weird talking about money Confidence with money Financial fight or flight Financial guru Internal vs. external locus of controlQuotes:
“So while money doesn't particularly buy happiness because we need to find those feelings within ourselves, I will say that poverty can't buy anything at all.” - Amber Frank
“You can have all the money in the world and still be a broken ass person.” - Nikki Spo
“There's a saying that I love and it's ‘Some people are so poor, all they have is money’”. - Nikki Spo
“Create a compelling future for yourself. Tell yourself what your life will look like when you're not in debt and tell yourself what you will feel like when you're wealthy.” - Amber Frank
“So if we sit around on our couches and point the fingers at the economy or the president and blame them as to why I'm not successful, there are other people out there getting successful right now. They just have a different worldview than you do.” - Amber Frank
“I am not a fearless woman. I am scared of so many things but I think that I am a courageous woman and that courage allows me to face hardships, hard things, difficult things, things that are unpleasant, and things that don't make me happy in the moment.” - Nikki Spo

What is up superstars! Today we have the exciting opportunity to speak with Kate Anthony, who is the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage.
Kate is the host of the critically acclaimed and New York Times recommended podcast, “The Divorce Survival Guide”, while also being the creator of the groundbreaking online coaching program, “Should I Stay or Should I Go”, which helps women make the most difficult decision of their lives using coaching tools, relationship education, geeky neuroscience, community support, and deep self work. Tune in to hear about how she does it all!
In this episode…
Making the D word decision Coping mechanisms & survival tools Trusting your capital S Self When you know, you know Leaving the unhealthy relationship Couples therapy Abusive relationshipsNarcissism within relationshipsQuotes:
“We can acknowledge that lasting relationships happen by compromising your way to success rather than settling into dissatisfaction, and that couples need to be really intentional about growing together and choosing to love each other, which is an action, not just this concept.” - Nikki Spo
“The deep self work needs to come first. Connecting with your inner guide, quieting all of the noise and dropping in and hearing what that voice says.” - Kate Anthony
“Women are exhausted in their marriage I think because the entire institution of marriage is set up to serve and benefit men on the back of the labor of women.” - Kate Anthony
“If you're in an abusive relationship, your partner is not in the relationship for the same reasons that you are. You're in this relationship for intimacy and connection, they're in it for power and control.” - Kate Anthony
“Everybody's a work in progress. I am on a continuous journey of healing and getting better.” - Nikki Spo
