    Co-parenting is such a challenging task, and today Eva Amurri joins us to share insights into how she and her ex-husband have made this new parenting dynamic work for themselves.

In order to show up as the best parents for our children, we have to make sure we’re taking care of ourselves and know when to let some things go. Eva reminds us that disagreements are bound to come up, but centering our children and their needs will help make sure we are navigating these situations as best as possible. She hopes that sharing more about her own co-parenting journey will help destigmatize the process for others.
