In today's episode, I'm chatting with Mindy Kyle, and we are delving into the complexities of loyalty binds and betrayal blindness in blended families. Mindy defines loyalty binds as emotional conflicts where children feel compelled to side with one parent over another. Why do our stepchildren feel this way, and what we can we do about it? We talk about all this and more!
Mindy is an LCS Certified, Positive Parenting Certified, and Blended Family Certified life coach with over 15 years of experience specializing in the stepmom experience. Having become a stepmom to four at the age of 24, Mindy understands the unique challenges and complexities that come with the role. Drawing from her own personal struggles and her specialized education, Mindy is dedicated to helping other stepmoms navigate their journey, offering them tools and insights to move beyond their struggles.
