Moms Moving On (Unfiltered): Disneyland Parenting; Maybe it Isn't All Bad; with co-host Jess Evans Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

We're sure you've heard the term "Disneyland Parent" from friends, family or maybe even your lawyer. What exactly is a Disneyland parent, and is it really a terrible thing for your children? This week on Unfiltered, Michelle and Jess share their insight on Disneyland parenting and their experiences both personally and in coaching.

Together they will cover:

What is a Disneyland parent
Letting go of control in co-parenting
Shifting your perspective that maybe this could be helpful for your co-parent in the beginning
AND MUCH MORE

Jess is a single mom of two, Michelle’s assistant and lead coach at Moms Moving On. She has worked alongside Michelle for years and takes a child centered approach to co-parenting. Jess was a SAHM while going through her divorce in 2018 and the thought of spending time away from her kids broke her heart. She quickly learned that it isn’t always about the quantity of time spent with her kids, rather the quality. Her and her children live in Wisconsin and love everything the Midwest has to offer. As a family, they enjoy watching football, playing golf, getting outside and creating fun memories together. When Jess is not with her kids, she is spending time with her new partner, golfing and enjoying time with her girlfriends. As a child of divorce who has no relationship with her father, Jess wanted to ensure her children grew up having a strong relationship with both of their parents.

As a coach, Jess is passionate about empowering her clients and helping them move on emotionally after the divorce is final. She works closely with her clients to help them find new ways to fill their cup as they enter the world of co-parenting. She also enjoys working with clients to create a child-centered parenting plan that is fine tuned to avoid any grey area. If you are looking for support during or after the divorce, Jess would be honored to work with you.

Setting Boundaries With Your Ex After Divorce with Breakup Coach Matina Singh Mar 20, 2024

Show notes

Divorce gives you the physical boundary, but what about the emotional boundaries? Setting boundaries with an ex is a critical component to moving on, and in this episode of Moms Moving On, breakup coach and founder of Master Self Image Matina Singh and I do a deep dive into setting boundaries.

We also cover the importance of setting boundaries with a narcissist or other high-conflict personality - a tool that will change your life after divorce.

Matina Singh helps women overcome the hardship of break-up / divorce and to step into their own power - Mastering their Self Image. Her own divorce journey left her scattered, but she was determined to build a better life for herself and her children. It took her three years to get back to living a life without doubting and devaluing herself. After becoming a Knowledge Broker, a program of Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, she discovered her signature techniques, and it has become her mission to help other women see the true potential that they have deep within them.
