Blended Family Breakthrough

54. Day 1 of Your 'Next Step' Challenge — Find Your Focus


Listen Later

You've probably got great intentions for your blended family.  You want to gain understanding and discover new skills that will help you "do things right" 

But chances are, when you realize how much there is to learn you might get overwhelmed — especially when you hit those inevitable bumps in the road that create setbacks and leave you feeling disappointed and discouraged.

And all that overwhelm, disappointment and discouragement robs you of something… 

…it robs you of your hope.

 We know what it's like to feel hopeless in our marriage and family life.  We also know what it takes to gain our hope back — it's all about taking one little intentional step at a time.  

That's what the next several days here on the podcast are going to be about — reclaiming your hope!

So, in this episode we're kicking off your NEXT STEPS CHALLENGE! 

We're going to help you overcome discouragement, take real action and move your family forward!

Whether you've been struggling for a while or even if things are going relatively well (but you want to step it up a bit) — this challenge is for you! 

In this challenge, we'll be walking alongside you with simple and doable steps.  These steps will help get you started so that you can move beyond your current challenge — and we'll even be taking the challenge along with you! 

To get started, listen in and discover the first step of the challenge (it's super simple).  Then, stay tuned over the next several days if you've got the courage to meet the challenge and do something new in your blended family… 

…we know you do and we're excited to join you!

  • How to turn insight into action so that you can experience real change in your blended family
