374. The Ugly Truth About Divorce, Parenting Plans & High-Conflict Exes with Samantha Boss

What if the parenting plan you’re handed is the very thing that’s keeping you stuck?

 

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by Samantha Boss, high-conflict divorce coach, mediator, and founder of The Ugly Truth of Divorce.

From diapers to diplomas, she now helps moms draft rock-solid parenting plans that reduce stress, prevent courtroom chaos, and give them their power back.
