The Ex-Files - The Divorce and Separation Podcast

Show Notes

In this solo episode of The Ex Files, Liza explores the world of co-parenting in the digital age. With a healthy dose of humour, personal anecdotes, and practical tips, she explains how technology and social media are reshaping communication between separated parents and not always for the better! Joined by producer Matt, Liza shares insights on: How social media and messaging apps can fuel conflict during separation Why venting online about your ex is a bad idea (for you and your kids) How FaceTime, texts, and parenting apps like Our Family Wizard can either help or hinder co-parenting Setting clear boundaries for communication, privacy, and social media use Why it’s crucial to think about these issues before finalising parenting orders How your digital behaviour models future habits for your children And a few hilarious (and slightly chaotic) side chats about emojis, thumbs-up dramas, and 1980s answering machines This is a must-listen for any separated parent navigating the tricky balance between staying connected and setting healthy digital boundaries. Tune in for a real-world, practical (and very human) take on co-parenting in today’s tech-driven world.
