About Course

Divorce is hard. For parents, it can feel like the collapse of a dream—the unraveling of a family you worked so hard to build. The legal process often pits parents against each other, adding fuel to an already painful fire. In the midst of this, it’s easy to lose sight of the one thing that matters most: your children’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

This course offers a clear and compassionate path forward. Created and co-taught by Kerry Stutzman and Palmer Skudneski—a mother and son who lived through one of the most high-conflict, protracted, and alienating custody cases in Colorado history—it brings both lived experience and professional insight to the table. Kerry is a licensed marriage and family therapist with decades of experience guiding parents through divorce. Palmer, her son, holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern and is a sought-after life coach for teens.

Together, they blend personal resilience with clinical wisdom to illuminate what kids really need when their family is redefined. Through professionally filmed video lessons and interactive exercises inspired by the Socratic method, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build a vision of your restructured family

  • Understand and name the emotions your tweens and teens are facing

  • Identify and mitigate the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

  • Help your kids navigate life in two homes

  • Recognize early signs of alienation

  • Keep lines of communication open

  • Approach dating and step-parenting with care and clarity

If you’re ready to do the hardest thing—lead with love while managing loss—this course will show you how. Your kids are counting on you. Let’s give them the best chance to thrive.
