Hi, I’m Anna; a divorced mom of four, ages 6 to 17. Typically, I consider my journey began in August 2018 when my then-husband and I separated, but really it dates back to childhood when my own parents divorced. Having come from chaos and dysfunction, I had the perfect example of what I didn’t want for my children. Try as I might, life inevitably happened, and I soon found myself in the midst of a high-conflict divorce.

August 2018 is still a blur. The kids and I lived on microwaved hotdogs that first week. Anything that required more energy was impossible. Summer days lasted for what felt like an eternity but, life carried on. Like an exposed nerve, I felt everything. Dissociated, I slowly put one foot in front of the other. We hired and fired lawyers. Committed ourselves to wasting time arguing perspectives without simultaneously wasting money. Our divorce was final two years later. Debts have been settled, belongings divided, but one crucial document persists, year after year: the parenting plan.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve never had to plan more than an appointment a few months in advance, let alone the next 10-18 years of your life.

I was lost. Lawyers wanted to win, friends and family were out of touch. What I needed was somewhere to cry, to vent, to collaborate. Somewhere to ask questions, judgement free.

This is when The Conscious Coparent was born.
