3 Co-Parenting Tips for the New Year: Tap into the Strengths you Already Have!

3 Co-Parenting Tips for the New Year: Tap into the Strengths you Already Have!

Author: Evie Mpras, MS, LMFT January 9, 2026 Duration: 17:32

In this episode, I'm offering 3 concrete co-parenting tips walking into the New Year.

This is, however, an Anti-New Years- New Years post! Let's challenge the idea that we need to be different- but rather that we need to connect more with the strengths we already have inside.

Instead of focusing on what we lack or striving for perfection, the episode emphasizes recognizing and building on existing strengths.

Drawing from solution-focused therapy, I share three key approaches:

  • noticing what’s already helping
  • identifying exceptions to challenges, &
  • using the “miracle question” to inspire hopeful, realistic change.

    Connect with your inner strength, choose collaboration over judgment, and prioritize connection—not perfection—this is the foundation for healthier parenting & co-parenting. Get the relief you deserve.

There's a quiet shift that happens after a baby arrives, where the focus understandably turns to the newborn, yet the foundation of the family-the partnership-often strains under new pressures. Bonds after Baby: Rebuild your marriage, reduce postpartum resentment & guard maternal mental health speaks directly into that space. Hosted by Evie Mpras, a licensed marriage and family therapist, this podcast is a resource for parents who find themselves navigating unexpected conflict and a sense of disconnection even as they manage all the practical preparations. It’s for those who sometimes feel resentment, isolation, or a fading spark, and who long to reclaim a sense of teamwork and intimacy. Each episode offers grounded, professional insights from Evie’s practice, focusing on actionable communication strategies, managing mental load, and fostering emotional safety. You’ll hear discussions on repairing ruptures, dividing unseen labor, and protecting maternal well-being as a cornerstone for the whole family. This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about transforming the quality of your connection from the inside out, turning postpartum challenges into a pathway for a stronger, more resilient partnership. Tune in for honest conversations that help you guard your mental health and rebuild the bond that started it all.
