#142: Family Court, Co-Parenting Stress, and Protecting Your Peace With Sol Kennedy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Stepmom Side Podcast, Alicia talks with Sol Kennedy, founder of the Best Interest co-parenting app, about high-conflict co-parenting, family court, co-parent communication, and how AI can help parents reduce conflict.
Sol shares how his own divorce and co-parenting experience led him to create an app that acts like a buffer between toxic messages and reactive responses. They talk about why the family court system can feel emotionally brutal, how co-parenting apps are usually built for documentation instead of actual peace, and why so many parents and stepparents feel completely drained by ongoing conflict with an ex.
If you are navigating divorce, co-parenting stress, stepparent overwhelm, custody issues, or constant conflict with an ex, this episode will help you think differently about communication, boundaries, and protecting your peace.
In this episode, Alicia and Sol discuss:
- High-conflict co-parenting and emotional triggers
- How AI can support calmer co-parent communication
- The role of co-parenting apps in reducing conflict
- How stepparents absorb stress from bio-parent conflict
- Why “being the bigger person” feels exhausting
- How slowing down communication can protect your peace
