Co-Parenting doesn’t have to be a struggle
We help you handle difficult exes and protect your kids.
Does this sound familiar?
Your kid is struggling with the divorce, and you're worried about it.
Your ex refuses to cooperate, making even the simplest co-parenting decisions feel impossible.
You live in constant fear of another court battle, unsure of how to protect your child.
Drop-offs and pick-ups are full of meltdowns, tears, and stress—for both you and your child.
You know your child is witnessing too much conflict, but you don’t know how to shield them from it.
You've tried staying calm and being civil, but nothing seems to change.
I get it mama...
You just want to help your kid to be okay.
For them to feel safe, secure, and supported.
Imagine this...
Drop-off goes smoothly. Your child is calm...smiling even.
Your co-parent shows up —on time, surprisingly— and makes a snarky comment.
But it doesn’t get to you.
You stay grounded, say nothing, and drive away.
No spiraling. No stress. Just confidence in how you handled it.
Your child felt safe.
You feel proud.
And your life...moves on.
The stakes couldn't be higher.
We are talking about your kids here. And how they grow up to view romantic relationships, conflict, and communication (and that's just the beginning).
Kids from high conflict families are more likely to have behavior and school problems, and poorer mental health. Without the right strategies, your child may end up feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or confused. They might even need therapy down the line to cope with the emotional toll.
And that's not all...High-conflict co-parenting can quickly lead to costly legal battles, draining both your time and finances without resolving the underlying issues.
Don’t let this continue.
Protect your child’s future, avoid unnecessary conflict, and build a healthier family dynamic.

About Your Expert
As a mom of two and a Clinical Child Psychologist with over a decade of experience, I understand the challenges that come with co-parenting, especially when emotions and conflict run high.
For years, I worked 1:1 with families, but I noticed a growing problem—many parents, especially those navigating divorce or separation, weren’t getting the support they needed for themselves and their kids. I realized I had to do more.
That's when I moved it online and developed a system that’s grounded in the practices I’ve been using for years with my clients—because I know what works.
Join me and experience how I can help you create a stable, emotionally secure environment for your kids, no matter what’s going on with your ex.

Still have questions?
Featured On
You've got questions. We've got answers.
What happens after my access is up?
You will have the option to continue to our membership program. For a monthly fee you'll just switch to a monthly membership or bundle option.
What if I've already tried to work with another program?
A lot of coaching programs out there focus on DIVORCE. How to manage getting divorced financially, legally, in terms of your wellness, and logistically. There are also MANY programs out there that focus on Co-Parenting. The problem is...they are highly focused on cooperation between parents. And for lots of parents, that's just not the reality of their situation.
This course is highly focused on your child's well-being as you navigate this tough time. Everything we teach is in service of making the adjustment easier on your children. It is JUST about kids and how to parent the BEST you can from two households.
Will I get access to Dr. Royster?
Yep! Dr. Royster personally leads all Co-Parenting Power Hours in a small group format. We open up 1:1 coaching sessions as Dr. Royster's schedule allows. We find most moms really get enough support in the group calls that they don't often need 'bonus' 1:1 with Dr. R.
What if I'm already working with a therapist and/or divorce coach?
Yay! That's great news. You should definitely keep working with your therapist. Therapy is very different from coaching, and will feel different. For example, coaching with me will teach you how to manage when you get a horrible text about your child sent to you. Therapy will help you know WHY it bothered you so much and get deep into the root of it. There is a very BIG difference here.
As far as coaching goes, another divorce coach that is working with you ONLY on parenting will be an overlap (and you probably don't need me!) but someone working with you on general divorce can be a great supplement to this program. This program is very focused on parenting specifically.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, there is a guarantee that if you do the program, engage with the material, and work hard you and your kids will come out better for it. We are very confident in this system and have seen it produce great results from families, IF they are ready and will to do the work. Because we give you all the tools you need right away and access to Dr. Royster's expertise immediately, you will not be eligible to receive a refund once the course is purchased. However, if you are unhappy with the product please reach out to our team and let us know if we can assist you.
How long is the program?
There’s no set timeline because healing and high-conflict parenting don’t follow one. The Kids First Co-Parenting System is now offered as a monthly membership so you can stay as long as you need support and leave when you feel stable, confident, and resourced. Some moms stay a few months to get their footing. Others stay longer to navigate court transitions, custody shifts, or major emotional seasons. You’ll get full access to the entire curriculum immediately, plus new support and resources each month. This isn’t a “course” you finish — it’s a safe space you return to when things get hard again (because they will).
How do I get my questions answered?
Before you enroll you can reach us at [email protected]. During the program you'll be able to reach out in our community, drop us an email or hop on a Co-Parenting Power Hour. Both are offered at various points during each week.
I'm seeing that this for moms with young kids, what if I have older kids? Or I'm a dad?
This course is designed specifically for individuals who identify as women. It is not intended for fathers, as their experiences and needs in high-conflict divorce situations often differ. Our goal is to create a supportive and safe community for mothers.
If your children are older than elementary school, you are welcome to enroll; however, please note that the course content on prioritizing children’s well-being is primarily tailored to families with younger children.
