In this powerful episode of The SHE Word MUMS we are discussing the timely topic of blended families.

In an ever changing landscape both in Malta but also worldwide, where divorce and separation is on the increase, blended families are on the rise. People with children from previous relationships are now forming a new family with their new partners. What are the hardships and heartaches that these mums face as they embark on a journey of growth, self discovery and starting a new chapter - all with kids in tow?

In this episode, Nerissa Massa is joined by Pauline Agius, Sefora Aquilina and Stephanie Zammit as they discuss all things surrounding blended families including caring for non-biological children, introducing a new partner to your children and falling in love with someone who has in turn fallen in love with your kids.

These ladies talk about the life lessons they have learnt and the journey they have been on to start again, while feeling grateful that love has found them a second time round, this time in a more mature, safe and wonderful form.

If you form part of a blended family, or know someone who is, do give this heartwarming show a listen.
