The person who will hold the room.
A coach, not a referee. Here is her stance, her own story, and the way she talks about separation when the camera is on.
“Separation ends a marriage. It does not end your family. It restructures it.” Lauren Novak
A coach who holds the room, not a referee who keeps score.
Lauren Novak works with parents during the transition from one household to two, when routines, expectations, and ways of communicating are still being rebuilt.
Her stance is simple. You will disagree in the room, and that is welcome. Disagreement is data. Her job is to keep the two of you focused on the only question that gets families unstuck: not who is right, but what is actually better for your child.
She is not there to mediate the end of your relationship. She is there to help you build the start of your co-parenting partnership. Those are different jobs, and she is clear about which one she is doing.
She has also walked this road herself, and she talks about it plainly.
