Episodes

  1. Episode 12 - Levi

    Levi reminded me that difficulty isn’t limited to stepfamilies and that the kids are alright.

  2. 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.

  3. Episode 10 - Cassie

    This episode is a special treat because we get to hear about how Cassie's life in a stepfamily helped her approach life in a blended family. Any listener who is worried about how it will all look in the end needs to give this one a listen.

  4. Episode 9 - Able

    Able, the crown jewel of our sleepy town, tells about how being loved and raised by a village is a pretty great intro to life.

  5. Episode 8 - Jess

    Jess is living the dream! She's got a cutting-edge approach to step parenting and has a story to share of bonding with her stepdad at a music festival.

  6. Episode 7 - Melissa

    In this episode, we hear Melissa tell about her experience in a difficult nuclear family, subsequent separating of her parents and what it was like on the other side of it. This is an important look at what the "Nacho Child" approach could look like from the inside.

  7. Episode 6 - Wyatt

    Wyatt describes a childhood that includes (but is not limited to) campgrounds, alleged attempted murder and kidnapping.

  8. Interviews Needed!

    I want to talk to you or your friends about their experience in a blended family. Reach out to me at [email protected]. Thanks!

  9. Episode 5 - Geraud

    This is a story about a boy who loses his mother in a tragic car accident, becomes orphaned, ends up with a huge family and an amazing perspective.

  10. Episode 4 - Jessica

    Thanks to Jessica, an adult step-child who has managed to see the good in things where others (myself included) may have failed.

  11. Episode 3 - Jeremy

    This is a whittled down conversation with my buddy, Jeremy. Thanks so much for this interview. I think you deserve a puppy!

  12. Episode 2 - Arielle

    Thanks so much to Arielle for telling her story of a family that didn’t screw things up (too badly).
