How to Co-Parent Without Losing Your Mind or Your Kids Featuring Sol Kennedy
The interview centers on Soul Kennedy, founder of the AI‑powered co‑parenting platform Best Interest, and his journey from a painful 2020 separation to building technology that streamlines post‑divorce communication. Kennedy explains how traditional tools like Our Family Wizard provide a verifiable record of messages, but still leave parents vulnerable to conflict. His new app leverages artificial intelligence to filter emotional spikes, suggest neutral phrasing, and generate court‑ready logs, aiming to keep discussions child‑focused and reduce litigation costs. Personal anecdotes illustrate the psychological roots of co‑parenting challenges: Kennedy recounts growing up with a narcissistic mother and a stoic, emotionally distant father, prompting him to adopt the name “Soul” as a conscious break from his past. He likens co‑parents to co‑CEOs, urging intentional leadership rather than reactive arguments. The conversation underscores a broader shift: technology, when paired with emotional intelligence, can protect children from high‑conflict separations, empower parents with data‑driven communication, and create new market opportunities for legal‑tech solutions that prioritize family well‑being.
