Podcasts

A platform used to share reflections, thoughts and coping strategies on “all things blended life and more”.

Join me, as we chat to experts, professionals and people just like me and you on topics that really matter. The good stuff, the hard stuff and especially the stuff we struggle with in our own homes and don’t want to say out loud. I’m here to encourage that space of vulnerability for both of us. Lets talk marriage, divorce, parenting, step parenting, the ex, relationships, loss, new beginnings, blended family and so much more.

This podcast has been created for YOU! A space for you to share your views, listen up, reflect and grow.

Excited to share this space with you!
