On this episode, we re-introduced ourselves, while answering questions from a few of our Facebook groups. We appreciate all the love and support and hope you are enjoying the podcast as much as we enjoy making it. We realize there are not a lot of resources or space for blended families, who are looking for love and support. We want to continue to offer that, particularly within the christian blended family community. We will continue our bi-weekly posts and have recently created a Blended Blessings TikTok, Instagram and a Facebook group that we encourage you to join and participate in. We hope to continue to create a resource and environment where people can share their success as well as their failures. Thank you for taking the time to listen to our podcast, please subscribe and then join our community.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of health, including physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing. In order to be the best parent, you must first take care of yourself. Just as you are told to put on your own lifejacket and air mask, take the time to get yourself right and to find balance in your own life. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

In this episode, we dive into ways we work to effectively communicate with each other, with God, with our children and even with exes.

We feel daily communication is essential, not only to a marriage, but also towards your relationship with God.

Healthy communication is also the key to building healthy relationships with your children and creating appropriate boundaries on social media, with anyone you co-parent with and finally, with anyone who is not a positive light in your life.

While it is not always easy to relate to children, specifically ones that are not your own; we offer a few suggestions and also provide ways you can develop a strong, healthy relationship that is not only nurturing, but also provides your children an appropriate outlet that can last a lifetime.
