After a "brief" hiatus we're back to share more of what we've learned during our recent therapy sessions, especially regarding how important unwinding yourself from your past is to having the future you deserve.

In this episode we wrap up Season 1 by sharing some of what we learned along the way...pay attention, there may be a quiz!

Turns out knowing the plan helps our brains anticipate and work faster. In this episode we talk about how sharing the plan with our kids can help reduce anxiety and improve familial coordination...and who doesn't love some good familial coordination? It's the best way to avoid leaving tire tracks in the grass....trust me!!

So turns out our unique family sitch isn't so unique...which means what we cover in this episode may be useful to more people than we originally thought! Listen in as we discuss what the term "bonus" means to us and how we apply it....except if you are Sarah's dad....Sarah would prefer if you skip this episode, mmmmkay?

If there's one thing we've learned it's that you have to put that happiness mask on first before you can help anyone else with theirs. Confused? That's OK, we'll explain it all in this episode when we plead for you to become responsible for your own happiness!

Insight is invaluable, just ask her bonus sisters hindsight and foresight. In this episode we talk about the benefits that can be gained by going through the process despite how scary it can be.

Do you need some change to go along with your conflict? Yeah, us too! On this episode we talk about how conflict can breed change, but sometimes a timeout isn't a bad thing.

On this episode we dive into a recent event in our lives that involved kids sports, teenage brains, champagne, the amygdala, and Spiderman...how's that for range?

Relationships are tricky and unique in how they work for each person involved. In this episode we explore the different relationships that make up our family unit and how trying to balance each one is important to health of the all of them. Even with the research out there, we still find therapy works best for us....in our case therapy in six different forms...parent/kid, couples, family, parent, bonus parent, etc. What works for you?

Passion is a strong emotion and one that can have both positive and negative connotations. On this episode we talk about being passionate, some of the benefits....ahem...and the rather unfortunate side effects. We also get into how Fronnie can help us control it so we can learn to harness it.
