There are so many important considerations in the Lindsay Clancy case, but two things stand out to me:

1️⃣The children deserved better.
Better from the medical professionals and systems around them. The mother was 😢 crying out for help from the rooftops.
Better from their dad who needed to listen, believe and take action.

2️⃣ Women’s mental and hormonal health need far more research, recognition, BELIEF and understanding. It’s 2026 for goodness sakes!

❓The question is:
Will this case be enough to prompt meaningful change?

It’s not every day that a
> group of women < line up wearing pink 💓in support of a mother who killed her three children.

👉🏼What’s driving this support?

✔️Postpartum mental health 👶
Women who have experienced postpartum depression, depression, or psychosis may see Lindsay’s story through their own experiences—particularly when they feel they weren’t believed, properly diagnosed, or adequately supported by medical professionals.

✔️ Survivors of IPV 💜
Some survivors may identify with what they perceive as Lindsay’s experience of being isolated, made to feel “crazy,” carrying the weight of parenting, and made to feel guilty about spending money, because she was not working temporarily.

The museum video, in particular, has been deeply triggering for some survivors because they see it as potentially reflecting a much larger pattern of Lindsay solo parenting and made to feel alone and unsupported.

👩🏼‍⚖️Perhaps this isn’t simply about defending Lindsay.

📓Perhaps women are seeing pieces of their own experiences in her story—and responding to a system, relationships, and circumstances they feel they understand ALL too well. Systems that are long overdue for change.

So what’s really going on here?

Before You Hit Send, Ask: Is This Email Judge-Proof?

When emotions are high, it can be tempting to respond immediately ... especially when an email feels unfair, accusatory, or designed to get a reaction.

Keep your children as the focus and don't engage in the argument. Your emails are some of your best evidence.

I wish I had learned this sooner!

Wonder where you’re all joining me from?

This past year, 38% of my clients have been international 🌏, while 62% have been Canadian. 🇨🇦

If you’re looking closely at the map, you’ll notice some countries don’t stand out as clearly because the percentages are smaller… but you get the idea! 🤍

One year ago, my client base was almost evenly split at 50% international and 50% Canadian. It’s been incredible to see more Canadians—and especially fellow Saskatchewan residents—finding their way to me.

Whether you’re across the street or across the world, thank you for trusting me during one of life’s most challenging transitions.

It is truly a privilege to amplify your voice, help you feel heard, and support you in making informed decisions as you navigate separation, divorce, co-parenting, and conflict.

No matter where you call home, I’m grateful to walk alongside you.

How to prepare for mediation with an abusive ex.

07/29/2026

Conflict isn’t always yelling.

Sometimes it’s subtle.
Sometimes it’s disguised as “just communication.”
And sometimes it’s a pattern of behaviour designed to create conflict, confusion, or control.

When co-parenting with someone who thrives on conflict or engages in counter-parenting, it can look like:

• Constant emails that leave you emotionally drained.
• Endless debates over issues that should be straightforward.
• Repeated accusations without evidence.
• Last-minute schedule changes that keep everyone on edge.
• Consistently arriving late, creating stress and uncertainty.

Over time, these behaviours can take a toll—not only on you, but on your children.

You don’t have to accept them as “just the way things are.”

I help parents identify, document, and understand these patterns while keeping the focus where it belongs: the children’s well-being. When behaviour is affecting your children, it matters.

🤍You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Sometimes this job can take an emotional toll. But when I read messages of gratitude 🙏🏻 and testimonials from long-time clients like this one, it doesn’t take me long to remember ‘my why’ 🤍.

My clients came from all walks of life and all corners of the world 🌎 and yet one thing unites us all: our passion to find your voice and amplify your truth throughout your separation/divorce.

This can look different depending where you’re at in the journey. For example, whether you are navigating the family court system for the first time, deciding whether to leave a spouse or trying to co-parent with a coercively controlling ex for the millionth time, I meet you where you’re at, in this very moment. ☕️

I hope you don’t wait long to reach out. In fact, the earlier we meet in your journey, the better and the greater chance of success.

For now, thank you to my amazing clients - for so many kind words and for your trust 🤍 It means the world… from little old me in Saskatchewan, Canada. 🇨🇦

Urgent motions are rarely granted in family court but a new case has changed that in Canada. This is a positive step forward for victims of coercive control who are further abused through family courts. Have a read below ⬇️

⚖️ Case Law

Abu Kibash v Gamal, 2026 ONSC 2969, examines the circumstances that will support the court in hearing a motion on an urgent basis. The wife/Applicant brought an urgent motion regarding a number of financial, property, and related matters, and the husband/Respondent opposed it, arguing that there was no urgency to these issues.

When you’re in the middle of a failing relationship or a co-parenting struggle post-separation, it’s easy to start doubting your own reality. You may ask yourself: “Am I crazy? Am I overreacting? Why is this happening?” 💭

The moment you start learning about behavioural patterns and personality traits—like those found in Cluster B personality disorders—the fog begins to clear. Understanding what you’re dealing with isn’t about fixing or diagnosing them; it’s about protecting yourself and your peace. Knowledge gives you the tools to stop taking the bait, set firmer boundaries, and realize that their behavior was never your fault.

Key Patterns to Recognize:
🧠Sociopathy / Antisocial Traits (ASPD): A persistent pattern of disregarding others’ rights, lack of remorse, calculated manipulation, and ignoring the harm caused to others—including their own children.
🧠Narcissistic Traits (NPD): An extreme need for admiration, a lack of empathy, a deep sense of entitlement, and playing the victim to avoid accountability.
🧠 Borderline Traits (BPD): Intense emotional volatility, severe fear of abandonment, rapid mood shifts, and “black-and-white” thinking that can create sudden, explosive conflicts.
🧠 Histrionic Traits (HPD): Constant attention-seeking, highly dramatic or exaggerated reactions, and shallow, rapidly shifting emotional displays.
