About this listen
Blending a family is complex, and step-parenting comes with unique challenges. In this episode, I share insights from my own experience as a stepmom and wisdom from Dr. Lisa Damour to help navigate the emotional landscape of co-parenting, discipline, and building trust with stepchildren.
We discuss why parental conflict—not divorce—is what harms kids most, the ideal role of a step-parent (hint: not a replacement parent!), and how to handle discipline in a way that fosters trust. We also explore why kids act out and how to uncover their underlying goal, managing different rules in each household without conflict, and how to talk about the other parent in a way that supports your child.
Whether you’re a step-parent, co-parent, or navigating a blended family, this episode will give you practical tools and encouragement to create a loving, structured, and stable home for your child.
Loved this episode? Share it with a fellow step-parent or co-parent who could use some encouragement! And if you have questions or insights, send me a message—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
