Divorce can feel like a storm, but your children don’t need two perfect parents—they just need one stable, loving, and regulated parent to thrive. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice explores the power of being the solid parent, even when co-parenting with someone who isn’t. Backed by research from Harvard on childhood resilience, she shares insights on emotional regulation, self-care, and how your presence alone can shape your children’s well-being.

Audrey kicks off the episode with a warm multilingual greeting, expressing gratitude for the Divorced AF community. She acknowledges the impact of her listeners in shaping this podcast and gives a special shoutout to her son, Hugo Amos, who created the show’s intro and outro music.

This week’s episode is all about one crucial truth—your kids don’t need two stable parents. They just need one. Audrey introduces the importance of emotional regulation and resilience, reassuring parents that their efforts alone can make all the difference in their children’s growth and healing.

Not every child has two emotionally stable parents, and that’s okay. Audrey discusses the power of one grounded, loving parent in a child's life. Drawing on a Harvard study on resilience, she highlights that having a single stable caregiver is enough to help kids grow into well-adjusted adults. She encourages listeners to focus on what they can control—creating a safe, supportive environment, rather than stressing over the actions of an unreliable co-parent.

Being the steady, regulated parent isn’t easy—it requires emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healing. Audrey acknowledges the weight of this responsibility and the importance of self-care in maintaining that strength. Whether it's yoga, guided visualizations, or simply leaning on a strong support system, she reminds listeners that prioritizing their own well-being directly benefits their children.

Audrey reassures parents that they don’t have to be perfect. Instead, being authentic, showing up consistently, and regulating their own emotions will teach their children more than any lecture ever could.

Your children are watching how you navigate life, not just what you say. Audrey leaves listeners with an encouraging reminder: Your love, stability, and presence are enough. Keep showing up, keep choosing growth, and know that your impact is greater than you think.

She invites listeners to share their thoughts, ask questions, and continue the conversation. As always, she thanks the Divorced AF community for being a part of this journey.
