Navigating Life With A Blended Family


Listen Later

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" last week. She spent some time responding to a comment from Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee-Sanders who spoke about the Democratic nominee at a Trump rally in September.

"My kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have anything keeping her humble," said Sanders.

Kamala Harris is a step-mom to her husband, Doug Emhoff's two kids.

What does it mean to be a step-mom – and for that matter, step-kid, dad, and sibling? Co-called blended families are everywhere. We discuss what it's like being in a blended family and navigating life outside of one.
