Hi friends,
 
On today’s episode, I have a heart-to-heart with my real-life friends, Scott and Vanessa Martindale, authors of "Blended and Redeemed," about the challenges and victories faced by blended families. We discuss the importance of prioritizing one's spouse over children, co-parenting, and the mental health challenges faced by parents and children in blended families.
 
We delve into the significance of addressing physical ailments and the importance of intentional family time, communication, and overcoming expectations in blended and traditional family dynamics.
 
Don't miss this insightful conversation packed with practical advice and spiritual guidance for thriving in blended families.
