Thank you for doing this podcast! I’ve been in a serious relationship with my significant other for about two years and we’ve lived together for about one. There’s been a lot of adjustment and change that’s occurred and this podcast has given me insight in how to do so. Also, Melissa is so...Read full review »

I generally really like this podcast and I’ve been listening for two years; however, I’m getting tired of hearing the host’s opinions about the coronavirus. Please stick to blended family topics.

Melissa! Your podcast has given me so much hope in the pure fact that my blended family, and the struggles that come along with that, are not alone. To hear from families that go through the daily grind to do what it takes to “grow together” is priceless! I feel as though I am sitting down with...Read full review »

I’ve always wanted to listen to a podcast that talks about blended family, never actually searched for one. Until I hit a rough patch in my life and I felt the urge I should listen to a podcast. I googled for a good podcast and I came across BFP. BEST choice I made! I binge listen and I’ve gain...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast when I was really struggling to adjust and figure out my place in this new guarded family. There is a ton of great suggestions, guidance, and validation. At times I felt crazy and alone, just knowing I wasn’t the only one feeling and going this. The Facebook group...Read full review »

I’ve read blogs, books and have listened to several podcasts about relationships. Melissa and her guests deliver the program I’ve been searching for. All I can say is “thank you” for what you’re doing to help bring understanding to the wild world of blended families. Keep it going!

I found Melissa and the Blended Family Podcast when my blended family was in a really rough spot; I was searching for anything to help or give me perspective or at the very least to know I wasn’t alone. I binged *almost* every episode within 7 days and took many things and applied them at home...Read full review »

Melissa Brown has honestly changed how I thought about my husbands kids, especially his very difficult teenage son who sees me as the evil stepmonster who stole his dad. I didn't steal his dad but that is not how he sees it. I have gone from hating him and not having anything positive to say...Read full review »

I think a lot of this information is good, but sounds like it’s being read from a script rather than heartfelt advice. Hard to listen to.
DP12345! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/19
This podcast is the best. Melissa is warm, friendly, knowledgeable and on point with her advice. No other podcast around compares. Check out the facebook group too. Really great resources.

Words can’t express how much this podcast has helped me, but I’ll try. Many times over the course of my time as a stepmom, I’ve felt hopeless, defeated, alone and on the brink of insanity. I couldn’t figure out why it was so hard for me. None of my friends could relate, even my own husband...Read full review »
