Loving The Holidays As A Divorced Mom, Single Mom, Or Blended Family: 2018 Holiday Special #3



Most families are touched by divorce in some way, and the holidays can bring up all kinds of questions and challenges for single or re-coupled parents, children of divorced parents (including adult children), and blended families. As Meagan enters her third holiday season post-separation, Sarah picks her brain about everything from the practical logistics of sharing the holidays with an ex, to the emotional landscape of the holidays as a divorced mom. PLUS we welcome the wise and witty voices of Kristen Chase and Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks and Spawned with Kristen and Liz. Listen for their advice, as well as a couple of listener questions, during the episode.

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • Last year Meagan talked about changing traditions mid-divorce (Episode 128)
  • Don’t forget to check out Cool Mom Picks and the Spawned podcast, and thanks to Kristen and Liz for contributing to today’s show!

    Just a quick note that I believe this one is cutting off midway through (@ about 24 min) – both here on the site and on overcast
