I had the chance to meet up with Jennifer and Courtney from Mommin’ Ain’t Easy Podcast and talk about our journey as a blended family. We talk about how grief and loss impacts children of blended families cope and ways the adults around them can help. We talk about bonding hurdles, having a godly perspective, and some practical steps to building peace in your family. These Moms are so down to earth, ask real questions and we get to share some laughs about girl stuff. Check out the full convo here.
BECOMING BLENDED
I moved from Florida to Kentucky when I married my husband and became a stepmom to three beautiful children. Married for the first time in my mid-thirties, I was excited for the journey.
EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN
I remember going whitewater rafting with a large group years ago, and we were lucky enough to get the most seasoned raft guide. He’d lived there on the banks of the river for 30 years, skin weathered by the sun, hair to prove it, and he knew every inch of those level 4 rapids. We knew we were in good hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
