Today you are invited into a conversation between Anne Heffron and her ex-husband Ryan Iwanaga. They tell us about their marriage, the things that pulled them apart, and we talk about what they’ve done since their divorce in order to co-parent well and have a peaceful relationship as friends.

Show Notes

Topics We Discussed

How Anne and Ryan met and first started dating
How married life began, what was great, what was challenging
How being adopted affects relationships
How they navigate their relationship and parenting their daughter post-divorce
While still honouring their current circumstances, we talk about what could have been different and what couples can do before it gets to the breaking point.
