Season Finale: This or That, Real Growth & More Confessions
We made it to the end of the first season of the relaunch, and honestly, the biggest takeaway is growth. Cedric & Devorah reflect on how different these conversations feel now compared to the early days, and how structure, maturity, and experience have changed not just the podcast—but the way they show up for each other and for Christian. Then, because this is Confessions of a Co-Parent, they lighten it up with a This or That round that turns into a full-on conversation about pettiness, forgiveness, neutral drop-offs, therapy, discipline, and dating with kids.
What Works (and Scales)
Growth changes the conversation. Same topics, different maturity = different outcomes.
Hard conversations are a skill. The more you practice, the less everything feels like a fight.
You don’t have to be perfect to be goals. Progress, structure, and better communication count.
Humor helps. Sometimes the light moments reveal the biggest truth.
The Confessional: Bonus Parents, Distance & Group Chat Fails
This finale brought three very different confessions:
A bonus parent wondering how to find their place without crossing lines after being called “Pops” by a child.
A co-parent asking if choosing not to fight anymore is peace… or just emotional distance.
A mom who accidentally sent a shady text about her co-parent’s outfit choices into the family group chat instead of to her friend.
Our take: Every situation still comes back to communication, maturity, and boundaries. Bonus parents need respectful conversations. Emotional distance can look like peace until you realize it’s disconnect. And family group chats? Handle with care.
