Divorce with less conflict: Co-parenting, emotion regulation, and supporting your kids with Katherine Miller

Divorce with less conflict: Co-parenting, emotion regulation, and supporting your kids with Katherine Miller

Katherine Miller, author of The Emotionally Savvy Divorce and collaborative law professional, joins me to talk about what it actually means to navigate divorce in a way that reduces conflict, supports your well-being, and protects your children.

Together, we explore:

  • The difference between reacting and responding, and how this shift can change the outcome of conflict.
  • Why most divorce conflict is not actually about what you're fighting about, but what's underneath it.
  • The concept of the "conflict trap" and why the same arguments repeat over and over.
  • Simple strategies to pause in heated moments.
  • How to communicate more effectively with a co-parent, even when they are not being collaborative.
  • What collaborative divorce is and how it helps families reduce conflict and make more thoughtful decisions.
  • Why "winning" in divorce often backfires, especially when children are involved.
  • How to shift the dynamic with a high-conflict partner without escalating the situation.

This conversation is not just about divorce. It's about learning how to use your emotions as information, stay grounded under pressure, and respond in ways that align with your long-term goals.
