Spotlight: Co-parenting101.org

If you have any interest in co-parenting, there’s someone you need to know. Well, two people.

Deesha.

And Michael.

Deesha Philyaw and Michael Thomas are exes. Ex-husband and wife to be exact. Nothing too noteworthy there. But what IS noteworthy is the lengths they will go to make sure life for their kids is the best they can offer.

They created Coparenting101.org after their marriage went south. As they say on the blog,

After our marriage ended, we became the poster-children for divorce amongst our circle of friends and colleagues. We wished we could have been the poster children for successful marriage, but it didn’t work out that way…

They are the TRUTH when it comes to this co-parenting arrangement. They are both re-married, with multiple kids and they are masters (yes, I’m going to go there) at making it work.

Check out some of these articles on their blog and tell me if they don’t sing to you.

In addition to the website, they also host a weekly radio show on various co-parenting topics. One of my favorite episodes was the one with Sheree Fletcher, businesswoman and entrepreneur. She is also Will Smith’s ex-wife and co-parenting partner.
