204: Coparenting Complications (Chapter 7: Blended and Redeemed)
1h 7m · PublishedOne of the biggest complaints in a stepfamily is (co)parenting. Whether it be trying to parent with your new spouse and that automatic protective mode we find ourselves in when it comes to someone telling our child what to do. Or the frustration of trying to parent with someone you once loved, but now can’t seem to agree on anything.
We end the episode discussing child-support. So join us as we discuss these Coparenting Complications.

202: 4 Steps to Breaking Up with Inner Vows After Divorce (Chapter 5: Blended and Redeemed)
58m · PublishedAfter your divorce, have you ever said to someone else or to yourself?
I will never allow this to happen to me again.
I will never allow anything bad to happen to my children.
I will never allow anyone close to me again.
I will never forgive him/her for breaking up our family.
These are inner vows we make to protect ourselves, but in doing so we are trying to control the details of our lives instead of trusting God to do what is best for us and our family.
We are currently using Blended Kingdom Families Book Blended and Redeemed as our online book club with our B.Fam.
One sentence that stood out to me was… “When we make inner vows, we aren’t making a promise to ourselves at all, we're making a promise to the enemy.” -Scott Martindale
I don’t know about you, but I do not want to make deals with the enemy.
There are 4 steps to breaking up with these inner vows. Join us on this episode as we share some of our own inner vows and the steps to break free from them.
If you want a chance to win tickets to the Breakthrough Conference, email me at [email protected] or DM at Enjoying Your Blended Family on IG and let me know you are joining our virtual book club.

197. Do You Carry Your Stepfamilies Mental Load?
41m · PublishedThere are 2 sides to running a family. The actual chores/task that need to be done and the mental load of thinking about all the things that need to be done. This typically falls on one person intentionally or unintentionally. Your family comes together and falls into a natural rhythm and there are many tasks you are 100% ok with taking on the sole responsibility for and there are other areas you become resentful for.
In this episode we want to unpack the mental load, have healthy conversations about it, and put some things into place to make it better for everyone.

196. Help for Military (STEP) Families With Co-Founders of Live the Life
40m · PublishedA major contributing factor in my divorce was due to being a military family. We were young and dumb when we got married and within months 9/11 happened and we were faced with a life altering future like many others. 4 years later, 2 kids, multiple moves and a deployment leaving my ex husband with PTSD and myself with anxiety, we lacked the support and resources of navigating civilian life.
That is why I jumped at an opportunity to talk with the co-founders of Live the Life, who provide resources to military families.
If you are military or know someone who is, this episode is for you.
