About this episode
One hundred episodes.In this milestone episode, Danielle Black does something she has never quite done before - she tells the full truth about where this work came from, what it has cost, and why she hasn't walked away.More than seventeen years ago, Danielle was a young mother with a 12-month-old son. She was told by a family lawyer to agree to the 50/50 care arrangements that her abusive ex was demanding. She developed C-PTSD. She kept her phone on silent for a decade because the sound of a message arriving triggered a full panic response. And through all of it, she performed 'reasonableness' - because that was what the professionals, and the system, rewarded.This episode is honest about what has changed in the Australian family law system since then. And equally honest about what hasn't.In this episode Danielle covers:What the family law system was like 17 years ago - and what it looks like nowWhy legislative change and practice change are not the same thingThe invisible architecture of what Danielle has built - and why boundaries are not a failure of dedicationWhy she didn't burn it down when she wanted toA direct message to the parent who is where she was seventeen years agoThis is not a highlight reel. It is a reckoning - and a declaration.This episode also marks the debut of Stronger, Braver, Together - the second original anthem created exclusively for the Post-Separation Abuse Podcast and Danielle Black Coaching. Written for every parent who has carried more than they should, who has learned to move with clarity rather than chaos, and who is choosing to build rather than burn - this song closes Episode 100 as it should be closed. Not with noise, but with quiet strength.As always, this episode is not legal advice and not therapy.Explore the supports offered by Danielle Black CoachingThe Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™👉 https://www.danielleblackcoaching.com.au/the-post-separation-parenting-blueprint-1AI Danielle - Your 24/7 Digital Coach👉 https://www.danielleblackcoaching.com.au/meet-ai-danielle1:1 Coaching 👉 https://www.danielleblackcoaching.com.au/1-1-coachingThe music you hear in this outro is 'Calm is Credible' - an original track created exclusively for the Post-Separation Abuse Podcast and Danielle Black Coaching.  You can listen and download this track via the Danielle Black Coaching website, in our 'free resources' area.About Danielle Black Coaching:Danielle Black is a respected authority in c
