**Jenna shares a game she came up with that I think could be a fantastic way to connect and understand what all parties in the blended family value! A little info on it...

Jenna had about 15 to 20 things written down with a few extra blank strips that anyone could write in things that were not already written down. She laid them all out on the table and told the kids to pick their top 5 to 7 and put them in order from most important or most valued to least valued. They then discussed each person's values. Please see my Instagram for images and examples of what was written down!

My first ever interview with Joslynn Flowers! Stepmoms, check it out!

Joslynn is a mom of 4, (3 being her stepkids) and a certified stepmom coach! Manager turned STAHM and teacher once covid hit, she left her full time job to stay home with the kids. In her time as a stepmom she has experienced the struggles of dealing with high conflict situations and multiple custody battles resulting in a CWS situation granting her husband full custody. Feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood and lonely she began seeking a way to turn her stepmom experience from high conflict to a positive co-parenting experience! Having created a working co-parent relationship with her stepkids mom, Joslynn loves to help other stepmoms do the same while creating healthy boundaries. Joslynn has recently launched a podcast called The Daily Stepmom Podcast where she talks about not just surviving but thriving in your role as a stepmom! She loves to connect with others via her instagram account so find her a Dailystepmom.

A quick snippet on- why do we do things that cause us frustration and burnout? 

Welcome to "Stuck in a Blender!" I am your host, Brittany Simo. I have witnessed divorce and remarriage my whole life, and now I am part of my own blended family. It comes with a load of challenges as well as amazing experiences. I have created this podcast to not only share my own experiences and story, but to encourage adults in blended families to get honest with themselves about their blended family life. We all have a role and are responsible for the experiences we create. Are you ready to create a new story or keep reliving the one you don't like? If you want to be a guest on the podcast, I encourage you to reach out via email at [email protected]. Let's do this!
