For more podcast episodes, subscribe to my You Tube Channel

Divorce is often seen through the lens of the adults involved, but what about the children? In this episode, I sit down with Bella Duncan, an admitted lawyer, Psychology graduate, and—most importantly—someone who has lived the reality of a two-home life for over 20 years. Bella brings a unique and powerful perspective, offering invaluable insights into what truly matters to children when their parents separate.

We discuss:

💡 The key concerns children have during divorce

❌ Common mistakes parents make and how to avoid them

🤝 How to best support your children throughout and beyond the separation

🔄 Why divorce is an ongoing journey for kids, not just a one-time event

👶🧑 How children’s needs and experiences differ depending on their age

Whether you’re navigating your own separation or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to ensure children feel heard, understood, and supported through divorce.
