You probably want to experience satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, and great relationships in your blended family.

But if you're anything like us there are some days where a sneaky little thought pattern creeps in.  It's subtle at first.  

A bit of envy because your friend seems so close to their spouse — you'd like that kind of closeness in your marriage.  Or a twinge of jealousy because the kids seem to talk about having so much fun at the other home with your former spouse.

Maybe we're the only ones, but that subversive thought pattern is all about comparisons — and it's a trap that will hijack your fulfillment and rob your joy.

We've both struggled with comparison traps in different ways over the years.  We've also discovered some very specific ways to escape the trap and discover the freedom to create a sense of satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment.  All of that has led to close, bonded relationships in our family — not always perfect — but really, really good.

In this episode, we're sharing the 4 simple tips that have helped us escape comparison traps and preserve our fulfillment.

You'll Discover:

• The negative impact of comparisons
• 3 areas where we tend to get stuck in comparison traps
• 4 Powerful tips to help you break free from comparison 
• How to experience more connection, joy and fulfillment in your blended family journey
