Divorced Dads Story, Working with Mr Divorce Coach - Ep30

Divorced Dads Story, Working with Mr Divorce Coach - Ep30
Hey Listeners 👋,It's been some time since we recorded and upload a new episode! Too long in fact. You will also notice some changes, in that it's just Tom Nash - Mr Divorce Coach on episodes moving forward. I recently spoke to a former client of mine, who spent the best part of 2023 working with me as their Divorce Coach, following an introduction from their Family Lawyer, who rightly recognised that whilst they know the law... I know the emotions and lived experience of Divorce/Separation, and that this chap needed some extra support in his life. This wonderful chap wanted to share his story with the world, what he went through, what he felt he was up against, the angst of feeling "maligned" from his children. How he had very little in terms of a "support network" around him. This is a very touching acknowledgment of the ups and downs of our emotions, how we cope through divorce, and where the boundaries of different types of support are. Thank you for sharing your story and for the deeply kind words in relation to working with me. This episode also highlights the consideration and in most cases need to have a positive network and people in your corner. Who can help challenge your thinking when you are stuck in fight/flight mode. To educate yourself on the process but also what you can and cannot control. A space where you have someone in your corner who helps you unpack all those thoughts so you can piece together more congruent decisions that you can live with when the legal and formalities are all done. And as our guest says.. hopefully find a better version of yourself and not become bitter. If you have a positive story you would like to share, I would love to hear from you and have you on the show. DM me and we can set it up. As always, please do give us a like👍, comment⌨️ & a share📲 for others to find and watch this video. Enjoy and thanks for listening.Tomhttps://calendly.com/mrdivorcecoach/d... https://mrdivorcecoach.co.uk/
Divorce Stories, a Dad's Experience - Ep29 The Divorce Coaching Podcast

Divorce Stories, a Dad's Experience - Ep29 The Divorce Coaching Podcast
Hey Listeners 👋,We've had a lot of professionals on the show and those that seek to support a client in various ways through a divorce / separation. But I wanted to start bringing you some personal stories, from individuals (and hopefully some couples) about their own experiences of divorce, separation, co-parenting, the family courts and more. 20th June 2022 (day of posting) is "International Fathers' Mental Health Day"... Conveniently it's the day after Fathers Day (UK), so it seemed very apt to share a recording from a few weeks back with a former client, and dad who went through his own journey of C100's, CafCass and the family court system to access to and care for his young daughter... a daughter he didn't even know existed at the time of her birth! Not until a friend showed him something on social media that his ex had posted! In this episode we hear about Sam's story, his struggles both practically and emotionally. The impact on his daily life and the obstacles he came up against... More importantly we hear about his triumph and how this story, like so many that we don't hear about, has a happy, heart warming and loving end.When we're going through something as challenging, emotionally & physically draining as a divorce/separation or child arrangement order proceedings, it can be very easy to latch on to the horror stories of others. The fears we already have. The negative experiences of others. BUT, there are so many positive stories out there that we never hear about or that don't have a light shone on them. My guest today wanted to share his story to let you know you are not alone. That there is a way through this and out the other side. That there is a real need to focus on self-development, self-reflection, what you can control, and how to manage and regulate your emotions at this time. If you have a positive story you would like to share, I would love to hear from you and have you on the show. DM me and we can set it up. As always, please do give us a like👍, comment⌨️ & a share📲 for others to find and watch this video. Enjoy and thanks for listening.Tomhttps://calendly.com/mrdivorcecoach/d... https://mrdivorcecoach.co.uk/

Now throw in a divorce and a kid or two, and it becomes completely understandable why so many worry or stay away from dating altogether!The canny thinker and innovator Nevine is, she decided to build the type of single / divorced parenting dating app she wanted but couldn't find 💭. Even in these very modern times, there were none focused on single/divorced parents when she started out! 🤯 I know right! Madness! Especially when there was already a dating app/site for almost every conceivable taste, interest, topic, kink, age, etc out there, Nevine couldn't find 1 single (no pun intended) app properly focused on the needs, hopes and uniqueness that is required for single / divorced parent dating... So she made one... PlayDate 🙌🎉🎊🥳To find out more about the fantastic, simplistic and some might even have said obvious, yet frankly hadn't been done yet, Dating App,  have a listen to this. Whether you are looking for 💖Friendship 🤝Someone to share an uninterrupted adult meal with 🍽️🍷 (without eating the leftover cold and soggy chicken nuggets that is!)This App has everything a single / divorced parent needs... So much so they are even teamed up with Bubble, the UK's #1 babysitting & nanny booking app! So you can mingle and meet your new Mr/Ms/Nonbinary Right and get the sitter sorted all in one go 👌 As always, please do give us a like👍, comment⌨️ & a share📲 for others to find and watch this video. If you have any questions or comments for Nevine, please do pop them in the comments box or DM Tom 📧Enjoy and thanks for listening 🎧Tomhttps://calendly.com/mrdivorcecoach/d... https://mrdivorcecoach.co.uk/

Hey Listeners 🎧Ep17 of the Divorce Coaching Podcast is quite a special one indeed. This week it's just me and 2 of my 4 blended family beauties, Zac & Sam joined me in the yellow chair to give us some insights into what it's like being a child of divorce 😍These two young gentlemen came out with some absolutely gems, they clearly do listen to me sometimes as they are dropping verbal bombs about going through "transformations" and more (mic drop for the boys) 🎤Zac & Sam are "step" siblings, they have been in each others lives since summer 2017, They goo between our home and the alternate parents home (anyone that follows me knows, our ex's are a couple as well, so in each home they always have 1 bio & 1 non-bio parent). I set them some questions before we recorded, they collaborated and discussed their thoughts and worked out their answers between them. But other than that it was completely live, unplanned and really really insightful. The boys share their experiences of living between two homes.What they like / don't like.The ups and downs.What it's like for kids when Mum & Dad split up.And also what it's like when Mum & Dad truly put their kids first and make the effort and find a way to work together for the better of their children. Zac & Sam, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences. You boys are so brave for doing this. They have asked for our audiences thoughts and questions you have from this episode and they'll be back again in t he future to answer your questions in another future episode. This episode is dedicate to Leonie, Will, Zac & Sam. My beautiful blended 4. Love you.Love you more.Lost you most. To find out more about our story and how working with me as your Divorce Coach can help you and your family move forward to a better place, get in touch with me below.Thanks for watchingTom Mr Divorce Coachhttps://calendly.com/mrdivorcecoach/discoverycall https://mrdivorcecoach.co.uk/
