Blendish

Happy Holidays! On this week's episode of Blend-ish, we talk about what our blended Christmas looked like and we wrap up 2020 and give a sneak peek into what to expect for 2021.

My, oh my the woes of co-parenting! This week Rebere opens up about some of the struggles he's been having with the mother of his kids and we discuss the importance of getting to therapy in order to assist in solving those areas of opportunity. We also share all the scoop on Katie's surprise birthday week and our second trip back to Mexico. 

So the fact is we're not married. This means we're not quite blended, but we are "blend-ish." And this week that's exactly what we're focusing on. What's it like to be intermingling families but not living under the same roof? Interesting dynamic, right? Join us in discussing this topic and also what our crazy week looked like. We talk about how Rebere's youngest chopped off Katie's daughters' hair, the new movie "Spell" being all but thrilling, and much much more. See you soon on this week's episode of Blend-ish! 

Happy Belated Thanksgiving first of all and welcome back! This week we're going to dive into what our first blended family holiday looked like, give some commentary on the Tyson VS Jones Jr fight and we also answer the following listener questions:

1. How do you handle race coming from two different racial backgrounds (bi-racial and African-American)

2. How easy is it to blend families together?

3. Do you feel like your children are exposed to enough cultural balance?

4. What are your thoughts on gender roles?

Listen in as we give our very candid and raw responses on this week's episode of Blendish! 

Are you struggling with a step-child or step-child-to-be whose behavior can be challenging or difficult? Are you frustrated with constantly feeling disrespected and wanting your significant other to step in? We dive into this tough conversation together and demonstrate in a really raw way how we worked through this challenge. Tune in for another unscripted, deep, thought-provoking topic on this episode of "blend-ish"! 

So this past week we went live answering our BereKat's (listeners) questions instead of our usual "on-topic" episode. Enjoy as we dive into talks about marriage, firearms in the household, relationships, situationships,  forgiveness, and much much more. This week on blend-ish is all about YOU and what you wanted to discuss.

Depression, Anxiety, ADD, PTSD and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. The struggle is real! This weeks episode is hyper-focused on the importance of mental and physical health. Katie and Rebere open up about the mental health issues they struggle with and how they cope individually and as a blend-ish family unit. Join us for another super transparent and open discussion on the importance of self-care and mental health awareness!

Are you feeling thrown into the fire as a step-parent? What does your partner expect of you when it comes to the day-to-day care of your step-children or step-children to be? It can be an uncomfortable conversation discussing and setting boundaries that both you and your significant other agree upon. As per our usual, we transparently dive into this discussion. Also as a bonus, we briefly discuss Gary Chapman' s, New York Times Bestselling Book, The Five Love Languages. Grab a friend and come join us for another episode of blend-ish! 

We come to you with yet another mix of juicy topics. How do you handle a difficult or manipulative ex-partner and not allow it to interfere with your new blended family unit? We discuss a real-life incident affecting us currently and how we suggest working through it. Also as promised, Katie opens up about her identity crisis from growing up bi-racial and her estranged relationship with her biological father whom she attempted to contact after not speaking with him for almost 30 years. She dives into her first conversation with him after 3 decades of his absence. Listen in as we give you more of us on this week's episode of blend-ish!

What should your partners' children call you? Are you comfortable with your step-children or step-children-to-be calling you "Mommy" or "Daddy"? In this week's episode, we discuss Skylar (Rebere's youngest) dropping the M-bomb and navigating through how to handle it. We also introduce a new segment where we answer questions from you, the listeners!
