Built from Heartbreak, Resilience, and a Whole Lot of Swearing

Let’s be real—this book should have never made it.
 

Not because it isn’t needed (because, my god, it is), but because life threw everything it had at me to make sure I never finished it.
 

I started writing this over ten years ago, in the middle of a dumpster fire of epic proportions—parenting two kids, surviving multiple cancers, and enduring what could only be described as the world’s worst divorce. In between the chaos, I scribbled notes on receipts, tapped thoughts into my phone at 2 a.m., and pieced together a roadmap I desperately needed—but couldn’t find anywhere else.
 

It wasn’t a book then. It was survival.
 

I wrote while recovering from surgeries.

I wrote in parking lots outside of therapy appointments.

I wrote after court hearings that left me wondering if I’d ever feel normal again.

I wrote when my co-parent and I sat in the same room, trying (and often failing) to be the adults our kids needed.

And somewhere along the way, I realized these notes weren’t just for me.
 

This book is for the parents who never wanted to be co-parents. The ones who are Googling things like “how to co-parent with someone I’d rather fight in a gladiator ring” at 3 a.m. It’s for the moms and dads trying to raise good humans while quietly falling apart. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered:
 

• Can I really rebuild from this?

• The answer is yes—but probably not in the way you think.

​

What You’ll Find in This Book (Other Than a Lot of Swearing and Hard-Won Wisdom):​

✅ How to build a co-parenting system that actually works (even if you kind of hate each other right now).
✅ Why humor is just as important as therapy (seriously, shout “BANANAPANTS” and see what happens).
✅ How to heal when everything feels broken.
✅ What kids really need from us (spoiler: not perfection, just presence).
✅ A step-by-step guide to turning chaos into calm—without losing yourself in the process.

​

I survived cancer, courtrooms, and a kid growing up. I made every mistake possible, and somehow, I came out the other side with peace, a blended family I adore, and the ability to co-parent without breaking into hives.

This book isn’t just my story. It’s a lifeline for anyone trying to navigate the impossible.

If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or one bad text away from setting your co-parent’s car on fire (kidding... mostly), The End of the Broken Home is for you.
