New Partners, Step-Parents & Big Transitions In Family Structure: Episode 430



Big transitions in family structure are never easy. When it comes to blending families, introducing a new romantic partner as a single parent, or stepping into step-parenting, there’s so much to think about. Today Meagan gets candid about her current blended family situation, following her wedding this summer and the integration of their families into a shared home. Sarah has lots of questions as Meagan shares what’s going well, a few tension points, what she would do differently, and how it’s going overall. Enjoy!
