About this listen

The Post-Separation Abuse Podcast - hosted by Danielle Black, Australia's leading specialist in child-focused post-separation parenting.


This isn't your typical separation, divorce or co-parenting podcast. We tackle the hard truths about what happens when separation involves family violence, high-conflict dynamics, and ongoing abuse - and most importantly, how to protect your children when the flawed Australian 'system' lets you down.


Each episode challenges the dangerous myths that keep women and children in harmful situations. From exposing why Australia's love affair with 50/50 parenting arrangements is hurting Australian kids, to revealing how post-separation abuse operates through parenting arrangements - this is where protective parents get the evidence-based guidance they desperately need.


Putting children first after separation - even when that means challenging professionals, fighting inappropriate arrangements, and refusing to accept "compromise" solutions that damage your children's development and wellbeing.

Raw, unfiltered, and research-backed. Because your children's wellbeing matters more than adult concepts of "fairness."

  • 86. Information vs Integration - Why consuming content isn’t the same as becoming strategic
    Dec 11 2025

    It’s easy to listen to podcasts, read posts on socials, and consume information… but none of that automatically turns you into the credible, strategic, protective parent you need to be in a post-separation, coercive-control landscape.

    In this episode, Danielle explores the critical difference between knowing and doing, and why true protective capacity comes from integration, practice, documentation, and nervous system leadership - not passive consuming.

    If you’ve ever felt informed but still overwhelmed, this episode will help you understand why - and show you the pathway toward real transformation.

    You’ll learn:
    • Why awareness is not the same as capacity
    • Why your nervous system leads under pressure, not your knowledge
    • What integration looks like in day-to-day parenting
    • Why YOU must become the expert in your own case

  • 85. Why being strategic, and well-informed, saves you money in the long run
    Dec 11 2025

    Most parents assume that family law is financially exhausting because lawyers and court processes are inherently expensive.
    But that's not the full story.
    Legal fees explode when parents approach their matter reactively instead of strategically.

    In this powerful episode, Danielle breaks down the core drivers of legal cost blowouts - emotional emails, unclear communication, poorly structured evidence, last-minute affidavits, crisis thinking, and relying on lawyers to interpret chaos rather than providing them with clean, focused instructions.

    You’ll learn how strategic thinking, regulated communication, pattern-based evidence tracking, and the Blueprint methodology can dramatically reduce lawyer hours, save thousands of dollars, and strengthen the credibility of your case.

    This episode empowers you to understand that you need more than just deep pockets - you need preparation, clarity, and self-leadership.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why emotional, reactive emails can be one of the most expensive parts of family law
    • Why reactive problem-solving drains both money and stamina
    • The difference between survival mode and strategy mode
    • What it means to become the expert in your own case
    • Why strategy protects both finances and outcomes

  • 84. How likely is equal shared parenting time & decision-making?
    Dec 9 2025

    Is 50/50 shared care or equal shared parental responsibility (decision making) automatic in Australia? No - but it is highly likely if protective parents consent to it out of exhaustion.

    This episode breaks down the biggest myth in post-separation parenting:
    that courts routinely “order” equal parenting time. In reality, most 50/50 outcomes occur because parents become overwhelmed, under-supported and pressured to agree long before trial.

    Danielle explains what factors do influence equal-time outcomes, why stamina matters more than conflict, and why capacity-building is essential if you want to hold the line without collapsing halfway.


    What you’ll learn:

    • The difference between ordered vs consented "50/50"
    • Why most equal-time outcomes arise from exhaustion, not genuine merit
    • Risk & safety conditions that make equal-time less appropriate
    • Why protective parents need strategy, not survival
    • How The Blueprint helps protective parents to build the capacity required to keep going
