    Episode 11 - Karen

    Episode Hell-yeah-ven! (Does that work?) This is such a great chat with my dear friend, Karen. We spent a lot of time catching up and going off on tangents that weren't relevant or necessarily appropriate.
    I had fun re-listening and editing in a way that spares the listener our banter.

My step kids are grown but I and still trying to figure things out. I wish I’d had more resources like this when my step kids were young.

Great topic!

I love the topic of this podcast! Being from a stepfamily, I think it is much needed and there are so many stories to tell! The step family story can have so many different versions, even in the same family. And it is such a common family type but no one ever really talks about it. I can’t wait to listen to more of these!
