It's All About

Описание: As we head into the holiday season and Black Friday shopping, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Lisa McGregor of The Unplanned Chapter to the show! Lisa shares support and wisdom about gift-giving, your kids, and your ex this holiday season.

After divorce, there is a desire to separate lives between you and your ex. However, if you are co-parenting, you and your ex will always be connected through your child in one way or another. So when it comes to gift-giving around the holidays or special celebrations, co-parents often struggle with helping their child buy a gift for the other parent.  When it comes down to it, it's not about you, it's about your child and Lisa knows from personal experience.

Lisa McGregor joins Susan Guthrie for a conversation about how to help your children purchase a gift for the other parent in their lives; even if the other parent: doesn’t help your child/children get a gift for you or refuses to accept anything from you.

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise.
