Hello again! I'm SO glad to be back and to share what's been going on in my life recently! As some of you may now, for the past year now, I have been focusing a lot on how to live within and also around a blended family due to my partner having two boys. I share in this episode just how much of a blessing this has been along with the hardships I've faced personally along the way. First and foremost, I have learned SO much and I'm so grateful for all of it!

Quick disclaimer, as I mention at the start of this episode - I have only been within this set up for a year so I by no means know everything or know the ins and outs of a blended family which is why I have listed some resources for you below if you're seeking more help or advice. Some things that you can expect throughout this episode are:

• Remembering your "why" during the hard times.
• How a transition like merging into a blended family can bring deep-rooted triggers to the surface.
• How to handle resentment and projection - where does it come from?
• How to be (kindly) selfish, remembering that you are still your own person!
• How to navigate differing parenting styles
• Why communication is SO important.
• Why it's important to choose love always.
