031: Blissfully Blended Bullshit: The Uncomfortable Truth About Blended Families

Get ready for one of the most raw and real episodes yet. This week I interviewed Rebecca Eckler about her tenth, and most recent book, Blissfully Blended Bullshit: The Uncomfortable Truth About Blended Families. Rebecca Eckler is one of Canada's best known journalists and authors. She is an international best selling author, has been a columnist at the National Post and The Globe and Mail and her work has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times as well as numerous magazines and parenting blogs across North America. She is currently the Executive Editor of SavvyMom, a website for all things parenting related, and has won Best Columnist two years in a row at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards. In this tell all book Rebecca opens the door to her own home and provides readers with an all access pass to her and her boyfriend's journey as they blend households, add another baby to the mix (thanks to a reverse vasectomy), and attempt to navigate their new roles with their children, in-laws, exes, ex-in-laws and each other. This isn't a sugarcoated blended family novel where you're left feeling hopeful and with fluffy strategies to help navigate your way. This is real talk, about real challenges and real emotions that only those who are attempting to blend a family can understand.  Grab your copy of Blissfully Blended Bullshit: The Uncomfortable Truth About Blended Families HERE.
