Reclaiming Yourself While Co-parenting: You are More than just "Mom" or "Dad"

In this episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight continues the conversation from “Who Were You Before Motherhood?” and brings it directly into the co-parenting space.
Because co-parenting doesn’t just require maturity and communication — it can slowly consume your identity.
If you’ve ever felt like:
You’re just the scheduler
The mediator
The “bigger person”
The steady one
The responsible one
This episode is for you.
Jamie explores how co-parenting can quietly reduce you to a function instead of honoring you as a full person — and why reclaiming yourself is not selfish, but necessary.
✨ In this episode:
How co-parenting can turn you into a role instead of a person
Why your identity outside of parenting matters to your child
What reclaiming yourself actually looks like (practically)
How to navigate guilt when your child is with the other parent
Reflection questions to help you reconnect with yourself
A prayer for co-parents seeking wholeness
