A blended family, or stepfamily, forms when you and your partner make a life together with the children from one or both of your previous relationships. However, what you choose to call your family is completely up to you. Join my friend, Johnette Davis, and I as she shares about her and her family's journey as a blended family. Listen in as we discuss how building and maintaining a healthy blended family is complex. Families look different for everyone, but supporting one another and putting your personal emotions aside for your children's best interests are some of the keys to success. Hear how persistent love wins and why consistency is necessary.

Based on an article released earlier this year on parentingmode.com, almost 27% of American family groups are single parent families. As of 2021, there are over 11 million single-parent families in the U.S. and of those families, 80% are single mothers. That represents 15.6 million children who live in single-mother households in the U.S. alone. Join me as two warrior single Moms, Angie and Mandi, share how being a single mother has shaped them and why community is so important.

Join me as I share a bit of my heart and the journey over the last few months of building HowDoIMom. It's extremely important to me to bring you my authentic self. Here's the truth. I don't know what I'm doing. I've been growing this organically and learning every step of the way. I'm still learning. I hope I always am. A few weeks ago, I found myself at an intersection and I needed to pause. I was behind, burnt out, and carrying disappointment as I navigated it all. Goals had been missed, hopes needed shifting, and I needed to choose grace in the growth. That led us here. A few weeks later and a few weeks wiser. My prayer is you have grace for yourself in whatever season you're in. Let's build together. Let's grow together.

Reasons why a woman may or may not become a mother is very personal. With significant pressure and expectation on women to have children, this topic produces many emotions as many can identify.

As heavy as this subject can be, our goal is to bring encouragement and hope amidst any unknown situation you may be facing. Whether you're raising children or not, it is vital to lay down expectations to fully experience joy, peace and celebrate your truth. Join Katie and I as we discuss her journey in the unknown.

I may not personally homeschool, but I deeply admire the parents out there who do.
