Learn How To Create Connection In Your Blended Family.   In this episode as we discuss the importance of connection and how you can help your children create it so that everyone can thrive in the home.   Blended family life is all about creating connection so that everyone feels bonded and thus blended.  We discuss the importance of teaching and modeling connection to all your children in your blended family and also how do so.  Without connection, children feel unsafe in their blended family.  Without connection, step parents feel like outsiders in their blended family.  Without connection, bio parents feel like failures in their blended family.  Connection is everything, so it is of the upmost importance that parents teach their children how to connect with their step parent and step siblings so they are able to relax in their blended family life.  This may be the most important thing a bio parent can do to broker a connection between their spouse and child.  If you are feeling disconnected in your blended family life, this episode is for you!  Connect with us!

Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a blended family many lives depend on it). Together we can avoid costly mistakes that will end in the demise of our precious families.  -Blended [email protected] Family Life and Health Coaching.

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.
