HERE IS MY STORY: A Chronicle of Personal Evolution in Co-Parenting

I started co-parenting shortly after having my daughter eight years ago. At the time, I had no idea what “co-parenting” meant, but I was thrown into it suddenly and would have to figure things out. With a child just 5 months old, I started to co-parent and was only allowed to see my baby 3–4 days a week. It was so hard, especially while breast-feeding and pumping. I quickly realized that co-parenting is hard enough, without the added stress of not being able to see your child everyday. It was so painful! So, I did my best to stay busy, trying not to think about how badly I was missing my daughter. In 2020, I started a Facebook group for single mothers which has slowly evolved into what it is today - “co-parenting in Harmony.”
Fast forward 8 years, and I have learned so much about co-parenting from attending trainings, talking with other co-parents, reading books, articles, and unfortunately, from making my own mistakes along the way. It took me several years to find harmony in my co-parenting because I was alone in my journey. Now I have the tools to take you from the stress of being physically, mentally, and emotionally burned out, to finding peace and harmony in your co-parenting. I would welcome the opportunity to help guide you through your co-parenting experience. You don’t have to take this journey alone. Please join us in our Facebook group below

Testimonials

  • “ I feel understood and not judged working with Carissa.”

    - Jolene Hunter

  • The thing that sets you apart from the other co-parenting coaches is that you have a lot of years experience with co parenting that seemed to be real. The best thing about working with you have been the options that you were suggesting. It’s early on in my co parenting journey and I feel like I needed to hear things from an experienced parent and I really enjoyed meeting with you. You are a very "Compassionate person."

  • I was comfortable sharing my co-parenting experience with who I believe to be a narcissist. You listened very well, I could not even tell you were taking such accurate and detailed notes as we were talking. Sharing your own personal experience really made me feel like you understood. Lastly, you gave me confidence by sharing that you understand why I make videos and if I enjoy making them to continue doing so. That felt good to hear.
