  • 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. Blended families will have challenges and some shows tip toe around main issues - only sharing how blended families should be. 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

  • Great podcast for blended families

    Mike and Kim are great on sharing their knowledge on blended family issues. They are great on giving examples so we can apply to our own families. They share approaches from a child perspective/ step parent/ bio parent view. This podcast has been so helpful to me and my husband. I highly recommend it if you are struggling in your blended family.
