Pride takes down families. Simple as that. It is as deceptive as it is destructive. If we were to closely examine the issues related to marriage and divorce, as well as other relational conflicts, pride wouldn't be too hard to find. Unfortunately, we all deal with it to some degree. Humility, on the other hand, is what strengthens bonds and makes way for the wisdom that we need to overcome even the most significant relationship issues.
We know how heartbreaking it can be when your child starts pulling away from you. It can leave you wondering if your ex is negatively influencing them behind the scenes. We've lived it. In this deeply personal episode, we open up about the painful season we went through with Kim's daughter, Annika. We talk through how to recognize the signs of manipulation, avoid common parenting missteps, and respond in ways that protect your child's emotional well-being. All while preserving your connection. Plus, we share the powerful strategy we call “the pebble in the shoe” and how it can shift distorted narratives over time and help your child embrace the truth. If it seems like you're living under a black cloud, and you're feeling discouraged or defeated, there is hope. You're not alone, and your story isn't over.You'll Discover:How to identify subtle signs that your co-parent may be manipulating your child — and how you can respond effectivelyHelpful ways to communicate with a hurt, angry, rejecting, distant child.A powerful strategy (“the pebble in the shoe”) to gently counter misinformation without escalating conflictThe importance of remaining steady and staying connected even when your child is distancing themselves from youResources from this Episode:Episode 210.

In this episode of Your Life Simplified, host Whitney Reagan, senior wealth advisor, and Christina Lynn, director, wealth strategist, dive into the different approaches to blended family finances. They discuss how to navigate conversations around combining finances or keeping things separate, managing child expenses and setting up a long-term plan that is right for your family dynamic.
"In a blended family, fairness and mutual understanding are key, especially when navigating the complexities of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.” -Donna Kendrick Navigating love after loss or divorce comes with a host of emotional and financial complexities, especially when blending families. Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, speak with Donna Kendrick, a financial planner who has lived through these transitions herself. After losing her husband unexpectedly, Donna rebuilt her life and career with a mission to help families in flux—widows, divorcées, and newly blended households. She shares how combining lives means combining financial baggage too, from income disparities and home equity dilemmas to prenups, life insurance, and estate planning. Donna's candid story highlights the power of transparency and empathy in financial conversations, especially when trust has been tested. Her advice? Begin with individual clarity—define your needs, wants, and non-negotiables—then collaborate with your partner. Donna emphasizes the importance of communication, fairness, and ongoing adjustment as life evolves. Her blend of financial savvy and emotional wisdom offers a powerful reminder: managing money in remarriage is less about spreadsheets and more about mutual understanding.

Stepmom life is no joke. It's one of the hardest, most emotionally challenging roles to take on—yet most of us step into it completely unprepared for the rollercoaster ahead. You're trying to blend two families, manage different parenting styles, navigate tricky dynamics with an ex, and build a strong relationship with kids who may or may not accept you. Oh, and while you're at it, you're also supposed to stay calm, keep your marriage strong, and not lose yourself in the process. No wonder so many stepmoms end up pouring a glass of wine (or three) just to cope. But here's the truth: drinking through the stress doesn't actually make it easier. It just numbs the emotions temporarily—only to bring them back stronger the next day, with a side of regret and exhaustion. In this episode, we're talking about how to navigate stepmom life without numbing out with alcohol—how to handle the stress, overwhelm, and uncertainty with real tools that actually help.
