  • Best Blended Advice

    I love how straight to the point this show gets. You don’t have a conversation going no where but straight to real issues.

This show uses their failures and how they learned better - to help others. And this is what people really need. Blended families need someone who failed and saw every bad behavior of how they were parenting and how children in all their rebellious w... more

Everyday I feel trapped because I haven’t found a community to chat through about these things but, listening to “The Blend” really helps me. My partner an... more
