Biological mom Abi and step-mom Katy are choosing to "family" for the sake of their children. Katy met Will on a dating app and learned that he had 4 kids (ages 8, 8, 5, and 3).  There can be a lot of stigmas around divorce and the relationship between the biological mom and the biological father's new partner. 

Abi talks about meeting her ex-husbands new parter, Katy, for the first time and how she instantly felt a connection and how they were able to build trust.  

During the episode, Abi reads a letter she wrote to her ex-husbands new partner when she first got divorced. 

Abi and Katy discuss their relationship and how they choose to co-parent. 

In this episode, Katy and Abi get practical about:

• Being a united front in both households
• How Katy asked really great questions about parenting styles
• Expectations around screen time and discipline
• Communication and how Abi doesn't mind being the "bad guy" when it comes to discipline
• Involving grandparents and in-laws 

Katy owns a farm called Sticky Holler Farm in Arkansas. She's on Instagram as @stickyhollerfarm.
