Families are complicated. Blended families even more so. Families with supernatural entities? That has to be extremely complicate. Have no fear, Bael and Riff are here to try and make some sense of the Christ family's dynamic.
In this episode, host Lori Sims welcomes returning guest Summer Butler to discuss her newly released resource, "Blended: Navigating Life Between Two Homes." Aimed primarily at preteens but helpful for children as young as seven, this workbook-style guide was born out of Summer's direct experience coaching children in blended families. She shares how the book helps kids navigate loyalty conflicts, big emotions, family transitions, and communication between homes, especially in situations where one parent doesn't consent to outside help. Lori and Summer dive into common challenges for children split between homes, including feeling stuck in the middle, hiding their true emotions, and managing shifting boundaries and rules. Summer explains how the workbook includes journaling prompts and activities to help kids process their feelings, build connections with stepparents, and set healthy boundaries. They touch on the lasting impact loyalty binds can have, even into adulthood, and the importance of not putting children in the middle of parental conflict. Summer also announces her upcoming children's book for younger kids, "Mallie's Two Homes and a Deer Named Darla," which will come with a stuffed deer as a comfort object to help little ones transition between homes. Throughout the episode, Lori and Summer provide real-life examples, discuss communication tips for parents and stepparents, and emphasize the need for compassionate, child-centered approaches in blended families. Check out Summer's resources for both young children and parents seeking to foster healthier blended family dynamics.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Nathalie and Cilla to unpack a dilemma that touches on family loyalty, jealousy, and boundaries.A stepmum writes in upset that her partner's mum still has a close relationship with his ex. They spend time together, but she and her mother-in-law have no relationship at all. She admits it makes her feel jealous, insecure, and even a little pushed out of the family.Kate argues that this is a normal reaction most people would feel the same sting but stresses that it's important to recognise the feeling without acting on it. Cilla takes a tougher stance, saying it's none of the stepmum's business as long as her partner's mum has a good relationship with her son and grandchildren.The panel explores the wider questions: What happens when loyalties blur across old and new relationships? Is it natural to feel jealous, or does jealousy create bigger problems? And how do you navigate in-laws who still keep one foot in the past? Hosted on Acast.

Tim Williams (Director of Church Relations, STCH), "Being a Loving Neighbor", Children's Time, Choir, Video Presentation, Blended Worship Praise Team (8:45 Service). 8. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10. Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand and Nathalie are joined by special guest co-host, presenter and dad Rickie Haywood-Williams. Together, they tackle the dilemma of a mum whose biological son lives with his dad, while she lives with her partner, stepdaughter and their new baby. She admits she never thought she wouldn't live with her biological child, and now she worries she can feel him pulling away as she builds a family under a different roof.For Rickie, this hits really close to home. His oldest daughter is from a previous relationship, and now he lives with his stepdaughter and young son. He talks honestly about how he navigated that shift with his daughter, stressing how important it is to keep expressing love, carving out time just for them, and staying consistent even when teenagers seem distant. Sometimes, he says, it's just about sending that text or making that call even if it doesn't get a reply.Kate reflects on her own household, where the little ones are desperate to see the older kids. Nathalie channels her inner Cilla and reminds everyone that different households can have different rules, and that's okay what matters most is the connection and the love.The panel also debate the role of phones. Rickie shares that if he could go back, he'd have restricted phones for longer, because while they help kids stay in touch across households, they can also pull children into isolation and take away valuable family time. The group talk about guilt, balance, and how to make sure your children feel seen and loved no matter where they call home.Follow @blended on Instagram to share your story. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Blended! Today, we're talking about menopause. Women's health issues, from menstruation to menopause, have long been overlooked in workplaces, schools, even families. But, increasingly, those issues are coming to the fore. Women are finding their voices and speaking up about the things that impact them every single day. And finally people are paying attention. Menopause has been hitting the headlines. Many organizations are starting to look more closely at the impact of menopause in the workplace, and what it really looks like to be a more supportive, inclusive employer. But where do they start? Awareness, policies and procedures, workplace accommodations, health and wellbeing – there's a lot to consider. Our guests will be shining a light on it today. They'll be exploring what menopause is and what it can look like for women, the stigma and negative connotations attached to menopause, and how organizations can better support women in the workplace. IN THIS EPISODE: [01.15] Introductions to our Blended panelists. · Karin – CEO at NIRAKIO · Nadine – Creative Director and Founder of Mayana · Claudia – Retired Global Supply Chain Executive, DEI Champion and Community Activist [07.08] The group discuss what menopause is, the common symptoms, and what it's really like for women as they navigate this transition. “One billion women will be in menopause at this time. So it's a very lucrative opportunity, and it's also a very predatory environment.” Nadine “It's a natural stage of life that most women experience between the ages of 44 and 55. And, given that women represent 40% of the workforce today – and growing! – its impact on the workplace is a really critical topic.” Claudia · Stages of menopause (peri-menopause, post-menopause) · Psychological symptoms o Mood changes o Anxiety o Lowered confidence o Second-guessing o Feeling a loss of control o Rage o Loss of patience · Physical symptoms o Hot flashes o Night sweats o Joint pain o Weight gain o Sexual impact o Lack of sleep · Cognitive symptoms o Brian fog o Inability to concentrate · Claudia's positive experience of training, awareness and education at IBM · Understanding the impact on women in the workplace · Identifying symptoms · Encouraging women to ask for help/speak up · Link to aging · Cultural differences in symptoms · How menopause impacts women's tolerance level for things they've been socially conditioned to quietly accept · Empathy · Vulnerability · Public display of private health · Uncomfortable · Weaponization/reclaim of language “It's a stage of life that's typically experienced in the latter stages, so it identifies as aging. I identified as getting older. So did that diminish my value to the organization, did they think I could still lead innovation when, suddenly, I'm an older member of the team?” Karin “Black women are the last to get diagnosed, they're the last to get help. And that's where we're seeing these big disparities. The menopause space was predominantly white-facing, and there was not a lot of information for racialized people, so the goal for us is to have that conversation. Because when we're serving everyone, everyone benefits.” Nadine “I started making jokes that I wasn't having hot flashes – I was having power surges! But, in making those jokes, it opened the floor to discussion.” Karin “To have something so personal and health related happen, it amplified that I was female in a room full of males. Not that I tried to dress like men, or act like men – but I never really tried to call out that I was female.” Karin [36.06] The panel explore the negative connotations around menopause, the stigma of aging, and how we talk about menopause, to ourselves and to each other. · Tackling stigma · Creating awareness · Open conversations · Education · Women leaving the workplace · Feeling of diminished value and vibrancy in the workplace · Shame · Women often internalize struggle/‘suffer in silence' · Interplay with personal life · Who's responsibility is it to change the conversation/challenge the stereotypes/tackle the stigma? · ERGs/women's groups · Systemic issue · Creating community · Safe spaces · HR “I was a diversity and women's network leader for many years, and it wears you out… I would like to see more engagement with HR to help fuel some of these things to create awareness and reduce stigma. It can't all be on the women.” Claudia [50.34] The group discuss the impact of menopause on women in the workplace, and how organizations can better support women to thrive, not just survive. · Clear and inclusive policies, processes and procedures · Confidentiality · Consideration of non-binary and trans people · Sick leave/menopause-related absence · Manager training · Sensitivity · Informed conversations · Legal obligations/compliance · Identify appropriate accommodations · Access to resources · Health benefits · Employee assistance programs · Menopause champions · Peer support groups [58.04] The panel reflect on the different ways women can take control of their own health and wellbeing during menopause. · Advocacy · Try something different · Therapy · Alternative medicine · Medical referrals/recommendations · Keeping records · Taking control · Assessing the symptoms that are having the biggest impact on quality of life · Keeping a symptom diary · Proactive approach to health · Understanding triggers and managing responses · Non-judgement [01.03.58] The group sum up their thoughts from today's discussion.

Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "A Right Relationship: Create and Renew", Children's Time, Choir, Blended Worship Praise Team (8:45 Service).4. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.5. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.6. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.7. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.8. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.9. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.10.

Blended families don't just merge households—they merge bank accounts, bills, and very different money expectations. And while stepfamilies are becoming more and more common, the financial playbook for them is far from simple. Every dollar spent can feel loaded: is it going to your kids, your spouse's kids, or the kids you're now raising together?My guest today, Cameron Normand, is one of the country's leading stepfamily experts and the founder of Stepfamily Solutions. She knows firsthand how money and emotional labor intersect in blended families, and she's built a career helping stepparents navigate the financial and emotional landmines that come with the role.In our conversation, Cameron breaks down why finances in stepfamilies are about so much more than dollars and cents, the “insider-outsider” syndrome that many stepparents face, and what it really takes to create a household where everyone feels seen, supported, and financially secure.Learn more about Cameron at stepfamilysolutions.com.

Public, private and philanthropic money is proving to be a successful mix to accelerate climate action. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. When it comes to climate action, financiers are increasingly turning to the Three Ps to find the cash they need: Public, private and philanthropic money. With trillions of dollars needed annually to shift the world away from polluting fossil fuels, cash-strapped governments don’t have the financial muscle to do this. Much of the money needs to come from the private sector, with philanthropy providing a much needed boost. This mix of money from all three, called blended finance, is designed to be cheaper concessional capital. It helps de-risk early-stage investments, especially in developing nations, and helps attract more investors. In 2023, climate blended finance totalled US$18.3 billion, up from about US$6 billion in 2015. But while the amount is growing, it’s still a fraction of what is needed. Are there positive signs blended finance can be significantly scaled up? And is there a risk only certain types of projects will be attractive candidates for blended finance? Join Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty as they discuss these questions in this episode. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:13 What is blended finance? 5:16 Why is blended finance becoming increasingly talked about? 8:52 What are some of the projects in Asia that could benefit? 10:40 How much money has been flowing into blended finance, especially for climate projects? 13:04 But what are some of the drawbacks – is there a risk that some types of projects will miss out? 18:06 COP30: If a roadmap for US$1.3 trillion in climate finance is sketched out, this could be a big boost.

Join Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty as they discuss these questions in this episode. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:13 What is blended finance? 5:16 Why is blended finance becoming increasingly talked about? 8:52 What are some of the projects in Asia that could benefit? 10:40 How much money has been flowing into blended finance, especially for climate projects? 13:04 But what are some of the drawbacks – is there a risk that some types of projects will miss out? 18:06 COP30: If a roadmap for US$1.3 trillion in climate finance is sketched out, this could be a big boost.

Charlie Kirk was a force for good. He was a champion for God, family and country. He represented the best of what mankind can be. At the young age of 31 he was struck down for simply holding debates and voicing his opinions. We grieve for the families, friends and the world that lost an unbelievably bright light. We try to get to the facts of the assassination as news breaks while we are live on the air. Stay vigilant. Stay hopeful. Stay in prayer. It's what Charlie would have wanted us all to do. -- SPONSOR: - Kindred Harvest - Kindred Harvest Tea Company is tea done the right way. Clean. All-natural.

Have you ever felt as if your efforts were all for nothing? Have you ever gotten so low that you've even questioned your own value within your family? For most of us, we want to have a positive and lasting impact on those around us, but it often feels as if this hill is far too steep to climb. Evidence of our good works making change for the better can be hard to find at times, but that doesn't mean we're not moving the needle. It may be time to let go of that picture in your mind of what family and relationships should look like, and take hold of a faith that can shift your perspective and transcend your circumstances!
