Blended Life - A Blended Family Podcast

A blended family is such an important topic because it’s dealing with so many lives, not just that of you and your spouse. You have your kids and your spouses kids of course, but you also have the other sets of parents to contend with (if there is shared custody). With so many cooks in the kitchen, it can make sanity hard to come by on some days. We can lose our way in the midst of chaos, jealousy, insecurity, frustration, anger, confusion, miscommunication, and power struggles. This podcast is dedicated to lessons my husband and I have learned from previously being married, divorced, parenting, co-parenting, step-parenting, blending a family, re-marrying, surviving daddy issues (me not him lol), going through years of therapy (again, me not him ha), having a relationship with God, listening to and absorbing wisdom from others, and having some of the best friends anyone could hope for! It is our hope that this offers all who take the time to read what we have to say, a perspective that makes for consideration or just some good-old-fashioned food-for-thought. If we can save one person, or couple, from any of our many mistakes, it would mean more than any treasure ever could.

Two Homes, One Love: Navigating the Coparenting Journey

On this episode of Blended Life, we answer three of our listeners questions:

1. How do you deal with secrets in a blended family when one household keeps things from the other? What about dealing with the stress of knowing information as the step parent that both bio parents are keeping from their children?

2. How do you as the new spouse get to be okay with your husband's ex being absolutely cruel to him when he won't even try your advice to stop it?

3. How do you handle it when your partner agrees to have scheduled time together with you and then allows their child to hijack that time to connect?

These are big topics that center all around the need to be understood. We hope you enjoy this episode! Comment below and let us know one thing you took away from our perspectives addressing these issues.
