Steve and I share about the reality of step-parenting and family dynamics, especially what happens when a step-parent enters a home that already has its rhythm, its ways, its rules.
Even when you try so hard not to disrupt the dynamic, the truth is, it changes. Because it has to. There's no way around it.
We talk about:
- How the dynamic shifts when a new adult comes into the mix
- Why it’s so bloody hard even when your intentions are good
- The messiness of getting it wrong, being misunderstood, and still showing up anyway
- The importance of self-awareness, communication, and staying on the same team
This isn’t a polished story. It’s real life. The kind that takes time, patience, and a lot of checking yourself. If you’re in a blended family, a new relationship with kids in the mix, or navigating the slow road of becoming a unit, this one’s for you.
