This week, I open up about what it’s really like on the weeks I don’t have my kids — the silence, the freedom, the guilt, and the fear of what would happen if that ever changed. From learning how to sit in the quiet to worrying how I’d cope being full-time again, this episode is raw, reflective, and honest about the emotional side of co-parenting that no one really talks about.
