Blended Family Breakthrough

180. Break free from Guilt and Blend with Authenticity and Security


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in an emotional minefield?  

For many couples, when a sense of guilt creeps in, it can be debilitating.  They might want to move toward blending but find themselves trapped in a minefield of guilt and regret.

I (Kim) stayed stuck in my own personal minefield of guilt for way too long.  It impacted every area of my life — particularly the way I dealt with our blended family challenges.

In this episode, I share how I eventually broke FREE from unhealthy guilt and learned to manage my difficult emotions from a healthy, secure place of growth and empowerment!

Don't stay stuck or burdened by ongoing guilt.  Hop into this episode and discover some practical ways you can move forward.  

You'll Discover:

  • The difference between healthy guilt and unhealthy, false guilt 
  • How to authentically grow security and confidence as you move toward blending
  • Healthy perspectives and practical steps to break free from debilitating guilt and painful regret
