In this episode we tackle something everyone in a blended family faces: managing stress and conflict resolution.  Both can seem daunting to take on, but both need to be mastered in order to have a fulfilling life together.  #Managingstress looks different for everyone; it’s not a one-size-fits-all type of thing.  It is highly important to figure out what you can do to bring yourself down off the cliff of stress.  If you fail to figure it out, your stress will bleed onto the rest of the family and make for a difficult living situation (and blended families are hard enough as is lol).  We talk about what we each do to manage the stress in our own lives.  One huge stress reliever is conflict resolution.  How do you resolve conflict amongst your ranks?  If you don’t know the answer right now, you’d better figure it out.  #Conflict is a natural part of any relationship; how we get through it determines the health and sustainability of our kinship.  So often people sweep things under the rug (it’s the easy way out after all).  This is a huge mistake.  When issues are failed to be dealt with, resentments build up and tear people apart.  We lose connection in the midst of unresolved feelings.  Spend some time and effort working things out with the people you love; even if you must agree to disagree, acceptance is a type of resolution.  In blended families there’s a ton of opportunity for conflict; deal with it.  Care enough about the health of your #blendedfamily and your marriage to put in the work to be able to face the hurts, frustrations, and differences of opinions head on.  Give yourselves the opportunity to have the strongest bond possible so you too don’t fall prey to that awful 70% divorce rate amongst blended family statistic.  Enjoy!
