Destiny's story is so inspiring and is laced with a love you can feel while hearing her share her story. It's all to common for Stepmoms to go 'all in' only to have circumstances out of their control dictate outcomes no one saw coming. In her book 'Blended Up' she finds a way to express the love her Step Sons share with her. It's a beautiful work and a story I believe will resonate with many listeners.

Karalee sits down with us to talk about her new book 'Step Parenting With Purpose'

To celebrate Fathers Day with you I thought it would be fun to create a list of 10 reasons we Love Stepdads! These are not in order and certainly not all inclusive. This Fathers Day I'd like to say to all my fellow Stepdads around the globe 'Happy Fathers

In the midst of a pandemic, civil unrest, protest and media saturation it's important to take a second and acknowledge a few things. I'm checking in real quick with my family to make sure we are all okay.

Today's Recharge is focused on Tenacity! Webster describes it as 'the quality or fact of being very determined; determination' In Blended Family homes we often find ourselves trying to share insight or view points and even offer assistance only to be met by resistance. Tenacity says 'I'm here and I am not going away until you hear me' and that for the betterment of our home.

Anytime an author takes life opportunity to share a message of love and inclusion which is near to their heart, I'm all in! Especially when the topic is Step-parenting and Blended Family relationships. Clarese has written a beautiful story about hope, healing and family in her new book 'Love Me Share Me' and she's here to talk about it with us!

We also dive into Bonus over Step, Maturity over Assumption and Calling over fear.

Blended Family Members, every once in a while we get tired! Maybe even a bit discouraged. It's these times that we could use an encouraging word or someone to give us a different perspective on our situation all together. Recharged was created by Tim Watson to do just that! It'll be airing each Friday with episodes ranging from a minute to two minutes. These short burst of encouraging episodes will have you back up and running in, well... a minute or two! The 'Recharged' mini series is set to air through the rest of season 2. But who knows, it could stick around much longer if Tims listeners have anything to say about it! Send Tim an email and let him know what you think of the new mini-series! It's about time we had a place we could be 'Recharged' !

How does your presence in the home affect your Stepchildren? What should we look out for as Stepparents when it comes to influencing a child under our care who doesn't belong to us biologically but is just as much a part of our lives than perhaps our own biological children (if you have them)? Today Tim talks with Naja Hall about 'The Power of Influence' and how it not only played a part in each of their lives but how they've seen it in action with their own Stepchildren. Conversation with Friends in the Dynamic is always a good time! These two Blended Family personalities hit some very personal notes on today's episode. Buckle up and get ready - it's that time again! Jump in and join the conversation.

From Stepson to Stepdad (twice) between two Blended Families' I've experienced quite a bit. I've also made quite a few mistakes along the way. Today's episode is a one on one conversation regarding four key areas I think impacted me as a Stepson. I share these points as well as talk about how I implement them as a Stepdad now in my own Blended Family.

Tim talks with Musician & Stepdad Mark Taylor about missing school events, feeling neglected, what worked for him and what didn't. Often times Stepparents are made to 'sit on the sidelines' when it comes to special events such as school plays.  Especially when the school only issues two tickets, one for mom and one for dad. An engaged and loving co-parenting dynamic is really where these types of situations come to a head.  What do you do as a Stepparent when you find yourself in this situation? Afterall YOU were the one taking them to practice everyday so Bio mom and dad could have front row seats to the play..right? Whew tough position for all involved!
