The family courts are failing mothers and children. Dr. C gives you tools to work together or separate from the courts to protect your children. So often, a mother's role gets severely undermined during divorce by our exes, attorneys, therapist, and judges. Dr. Cs strategies help elevate your voice, placing you in a better position legally and with the most important ones in our life, our children. The class taught me that as I empower myself, I empower my kids and by finding my voice, I am helping my kids find theirs.
