What does healthy co-parenting after divorce actually look like?

In this special episode of the Why Not Now? Show, Amy Jo Martin sits down with the show's longtime producer - and her former husband - Richard Grewar for a candid conversation about the past few years of raising their son, as co-parents.

Their approach can be summed up in a phrase that helped shape their transition: one family, two homes.

Amy Jo and Richard share what it took to move from marriage into a new kind of partnership, while keeping their son's experience at the center of their decisions. They talk openly about the parts that were difficult, the mistakes they made, the support they sought from therapists and coaches, and why they don't believe there's one blueprint for successful co-parenting.

They also get practical, with tools and routines that have helped them along the way: the "20 Second Rule" they first created during their son's 90-day NICU stay, daily voice notes between households, shared calendars, navigating transitions, giving each other room to parent differently, and establishing trust and boundaries around new relationships.

Every situation is different, and this isn't a prescription for divorce or a step-by-step guide to co-parenting. It's an honest look at what Amy Jo and Richard have learned while trying to build something that works for their family.

For anyone navigating divorce, separation, co-parenting, blended families, or simply wondering whether family can look different without feeling broken, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on finding another way forward.

For 10 years, Amy Jo Martin has asked hundreds of entrepreneurs, creators, athletes and cultural icons one deceptively simple question: Why Not Now?

In this special 10-year anniversary episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, the person usually behind the scenes steps up to the mic. Longtime producer Richard Grewar joins Amy Jo to look back at a decade of conversations, unexpected moments and lessons that have shaped the show - and both of their lives.

They go back to the beginning: launching the podcast from a boat in San Diego, landing Mark Cuban as their first guest and figuring out production as they went. From there, they revisit memorable conversations with guests including Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Billy Corgan and more, along with the moments that proved some of the most powerful stories don't always come from the biggest names.

Amy Jo and Richard also unpack how podcasting has changed over the past decade, why genuine curiosity still beats a perfectly prepared question, and what producing hundreds of hours of conversation can teach you about listening, decision-making, the power of a follow up question and knowing when not to edit out the silence.

There are stories about recording through steam trains, unreliable Wi-Fi, an RV and even a makeshift studio near the NICU. But at its core, this episode is about what happens when you keep following your curiosity - even when you don't know where it's leading.

Ten years later, the question remains the same.

What if the greatest gift you can give your child has nothing to do with parenting techniques?

In this conversation, Amy Jo Martin sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, Dr. Shefali, for an honest discussion about what children are really asking of us, and why the work begins within ourselves.

Together, they explore why so many parents feel pressure to optimize every moment, manage every outcome, and "project manage" their children, when what kids often need most is a regulated, present adult.

Dr. Shefali shares why she felt compelled to write her new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, after witnessing the growing mental health challenges facing today's children, and offers practical wisdom for navigating everything from co-parenting and divorce to guilt, identity, and emotional resilience.

Amy Jo and Dr. Shefali also tackle one of today's biggest parenting questions: how should families think about AI? Rather than focusing on fear, they explore how to preserve original thinking, creativity, boredom, and genuine human connection in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why healing yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children
• How to navigate co-parenting, divorce, and guilt with greater awareness
• What today's mental health crisis is revealing about modern childhood
• Dr. Shefali's perspective on AI, technology, and protecting human creativity
• Why managing yourself, not everyone around you, is the foundation of a meaningful life

Whether you're raising young children, navigating adolescence, leading a team, or simply trying to become a more conscious version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts from the inside out.
