High-Conflict Custody Disputes: Renee Rodriguez

High-Conflict Custody Disputes: Renee Rodriguez

Author: Marcylle Combs June 26, 2024 Duration: 49:05

Renee has been told what she does is unique–she helps protective mothers in a custody battle against a narcissistic co-parent to go into family court and get the custody arrangement that's best for their kids. Like her, these women have suffered psychological abuse at the hands of their former partners and are working to ensure their children are protected from further cruelty.
Her company, Best Foot Forward, has been around for over 5 years. It’s an example of a number of things: changing careers mid-life, pulling oneself up after trauma, doing it all as a single mom, and bringing a sense of adventure and a sense of humor to it all…even a heavy subject like what she immerses herself in every day! And that’s what she does–follow a business model focused on empowering parents to help themselves and find a shining bright light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
Her turning point was during her custody battle for her son, after leaving a relationship rife with mental abuse. As a daughter of a Puerto Rican father whose family sought a better life on the mainland when he was 12 and a mother who only later pursued her GED, education and hard work was impressed upon her. She was the first to graduate from college, the perfect Catholic student, who ended up having a child with a cruel, covert narcissist (diagnosed). She had been a performance coach for a couple decades, and switched her career to help other women succeed in dealing with their narcissistic nightmares.
Now she's focused on creating reverberating change in the new field of “divorce coaching”, as a custody consultant, Violence Against Women (VAW) Advocate, and a certified instructional designer…melding it all together to allow abused parents to find self-empowerment again.
The Custody BlueprintTM (TCB) exists to prepare protective parents for court through Strategy, Mindset and Evidence and using truth and virtue even in the face of lies and manipulation. She finds that moms are dependent on their lawyers to save them, and they have no real sense of how best to present their evidence in court. What really sets her blueprint apart is focusing on the mindset of dealing with a high-conflict co-parent--both in a custody battle AND as a mom trying to co-parent with a damaged individual. The shame, the guilt, the helplessness...is addressed in her TCB program.
