Episode Description from the Publisher

Blending a family takes more than good intentions, it takes patience, empathy, and the right approach. In this episode, Karine Di Cesare joins me as we explore how stepparents can gently find their place within the family, build meaningful connections with their stepchildren, and create a sense of stability without overstepping. We also dive into how to maintain peace with the other parent and, most importantly, how to remain a steady ally for the children through it all. If you're navigating the complexities of a blended family, this conversation offers practical guidance and reassurance that connection is always possible.Check out Amazon for Karine's book "I Love You Like Lemonade" and visit her website: https://storiesforkids.ca for more information on her work.
