In this episode, Kate was joined by Jessica Fostekew - a comedian, actor and writer to discuss co-parenting success stories.

About the episode:

This episode is all about Jess’s separation from her long-term partner. We explore her wonderful co-parenting journey, her sexual awakening in her 30s and her subsequent relationships. We also look at how her parents' divorce impacted her attitude towards her own separation. This episode, and Jess’s story overall, exemplifies how you can end a relationship in a kinder and better way, prioritising the emotional well-being of everyone involved.

P.S. We're sorry there are a few moments where Jess's audio picks up traffic outside.
