“I started listening to your podcast long before I ended up in a relationship with a man who had kids from his previous marriage. I was prepared for the feelings that came, even though I still struggle with guilt. Without your support system, I’m not sure I would have been confident enough to...”Read full review »

“I moved to a new country and I have been blending for 5 years. Blending and step family is not part of my culture. I found myself overwhelmed being in a new country, living with SO and having a new SK plus the loneliness of being away from my own BD. Pre- nacho I had my late MIL to vent on. She...”Read full review »

“In one episode the step dad accuses the stepson of breaking a press. The stepson said it never worked for him. Instead of asking more questions or having the stepson show him he just jumped to the conclusion the stepson broke it. I heard enough to know this isn’t the podcast for me.”

“I really appreciate this podcast especially because there are so few resources like this, but it takes a half hour to get to any substantial discussion. I’m sure that’s awesome for some folks, but for me I don’t have all that time and have to fast-forward quite a bit to get to the topic discussion.”
