Lukas

I’m Lukas and I coach fathers after divorce and breakup. Every time I look into my son’s eyes, I remember why I do this work. I believe for our existence to be meaningful we have to look further out than just ourselves. The real prize lies in the lives we touch. My mission is to inspire you to thrive as a father, to grow with and through your divorce or breakup, to be a leader regardless of what your outer world circumstances appear to be. When we as fathers shine our light, it will illuminate those around us, starting with who we cherish the most: our children. It is them who hold the key to the future. It is our shoulders they stand on. In this way, may the decisions we make today become a strong foundation for a positive and happy tomorrow.

Forgive Yourself After Divorce & Separation With Kids (3 Tips)

It’s normal to feel guilty after a divorce or break up, especially when kids are involved. There are three keys to letting go of this guilt. The first one is to understand that you’re not alone, that approximately 50 percent of children in the US experience divorce. There is no need to feel abnormal or guilty for being a divorced father. The second key to overcoming guilt is to realize that it is directly harming your presence as a parent. You need to practice “targeted thinking” and replace disempowering questions with empowering ones. The third key is to accept the past, knowing that you cannot change it, and to focus your energy on what you can control. It’s important to grant your ex their part of the responsibility for the divorce or breakup. If you follow these steps you can support your children in growing up and living a happy life.
