What does healthy co-parenting after divorce actually look like? In this special episode of the Why Not Now? Show, Amy Jo Martin sits down with the show's longtime producer - and her former husband - Richard Grewar for a candid conversation about the past few years of raising their son, as co-parents. Their approach can be summed up in a phrase that helped shape their transition: one family, two homes. Amy Jo and Richard share what it took to move from marriage into a new kind of partnership, while keeping their son's experience at the center of their decisions. They talk openly about the parts that were difficult, the mistakes they made, the support they sought from therapists and coaches, and why they don't believe there's one blueprint for successful co-parenting. They also get practical, with tools and routines that have helped them along the way: the "20 Second Rule" they first created during their son's 90-day NICU stay, daily voice notes between households, shared calendars, navigating transitions, giving each other room to parent differently, and establishing trust and boundaries around new relationships. Every situation is different, and this isn't a prescription for divorce or a step-by-step guide to co-parenting. It's an honest look at what Amy Jo and Richard have learned while trying to build something that works for their family. For anyone navigating divorce, separation, co-parenting, blended families, or simply wondering whether family can look different without feeling broken, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on finding another way forward. Amy Jo Martin speaks globally on Humanizing AI, Leadership, Decision-Making, and the Future of Work.
