If you're divorced and dating or dating a divorcee, then this episode is for you! Listen in as Naja Hall tells it like it is. Blended families are difficult under the best of circumstances, but marrying someone with a High-Conflict divorce comes at a cost.

All blended families come with chaos and friction, so take Naja's advice and make sure your expectations align with reality before you step into a stepparent role.

Kim Chakanetsa talks to a US step-parenting coach and a journalist in India about their experience of being a step-mother. They discuss the challenges of blended families and give advice to women in similar situations. When Naja Hall began dating a divorced man with three young children she was soon dealing with difficult, confusing and stressful scenarios. When she couldn't find the practical advice she needed she set up online forums Blended and Black and VIP Stepmom. She's now a well-regarded step-parenting coach who specialises in high-conflict situations. Aarushi Ahluwalia was 26 when her husband's son came to live with them. In India there's a social stigma around being a step-parent where just 1% of marriages end in divorce and she knows very few other women with her experience. She says that as a step-mother you have all of the responsibility but none of the rights of a parent, despite this she's found it really rewarding to care for and love her step-son.

We have all had the misfortune of dealing with a jerk at some point in our lives. Today on the I Know I'm Crazy with Naja Hall podcast, I am chatting with author Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D. about his extensive life's work on adverse personalities. Jeremy Sherman, Ph.D. is a science researcher and writer who has written 1000 blog articles for Psychology Today under the title Ambigamy: Insights for the deeply romantic and deeply skeptical. For a quarter-century he has collaborated closely with Harvard/Berkeley neuroscientist and biological anthropologist Terrence Deacon developing a theory for the origins of life's struggle for existence, in other words explaining trying or effort from its chemical origins. Sherman writes academically but most of his writing is about everyday decision-making. He has just written a book now available as a free podcast called "What's up with a**holes?

A couple of weeks ago Tashara Parker went viral because the African American news anchor wore a fro-bun on television, a mohawk to be exact. Many in our culture celebrated her, while many thought the hairstyle was unprofessional. This week the ladies of Theories and Thoughts Podcast, @ladi.ceo and @fancyswagher discuss the topic, I am not my hair with Ms. Parker. They will discuss the “professionalism” of natural hair. Who says what's professional or not? Tashara Parker is an anchor and reporter at WFAA News 8 in Dallas, Texas covering traffic, breaking news, and inspirational stories. Featured as one of WFAA's preeminent voices, the Daybreak anchor brings experience, vibrancy, and authenticity -- capturing the attention of DFW viewers in an engaging and informative way, all the while creating loyalty. Coined as a "community-focused storyteller", Tashara is the go-to source for all things "community", as she blends her passion for underserved people and organizations with an unwavering spirit of empathy. As one of Dallas’s influential voices, Tashara utilizes her platform to volunteer hundreds of hours to many organizations, including the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. With a dedicated following both on and off the air, the journalist is described by viewers as "someone who truly cares about people and this community." And with this mantra lighting her path, Tashara continues to carve her slate within the industry -- bringing both DFW and the best in community storytelling to the forefront.

One of the main reasons I started this podcast was to show people stuck in the traditional corporate world just how many ways there were to make a living today. Too many people are stuck because they don't know that there is another way! Well, today's episode is another testament to all of the possibilities out there. I'm so excited to chat with the incredible Naja Hall about how she went from the entertainment industry to becoming a coach for Step Moms!!   Naja is the founder of  VIPStepmom, a community for stepmoms, and Blended and Black, the largest blended family community for Millenials. As a Certified Coach and Educator, she understands that the family is THE MOST influential entity of human development, and her work centers around helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s toughest transitions. As the host of a popular podcast, I know I’m Crazy with Naja Hall and author of the Girl, Bye! Book series, Naja’s life’s work is to teach empathy, accountability, and emotional intelligence through the art of story-telling and genuine human connections. She’s a Stepmom of 3.

This week we are welcoming a special guest to the show; family and life coach Naja Hall of Blended and Black. Some things are more important than politics; specifically family and how you grow at home. Naja specializes in helping those in difficult relationships learn to overcome those weird mental hiccups faced in moving forward after dealing with traumatic relationships. Even if you are not in a blended family;(that meaning a family formed together after a previous relationship), there is plenty of solid advice and sound wisdom to be had from Naja's expertise. Family impacts us to our core. If we want the world to be a better place we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our families. I feel like Naja Hall has a lot of the tools we need to identify and repair some of those things that society has been trying to push aside. Introspection, self responsibility, and preservation of family.

How does your presence in the home affect your Stepchildren?

She is the Founder of Blended and Black, a thriving online community complete with support groups, online courses, and a popular blog. She’s also launching her new podcast, “I know I’m Crazy”! Naja knows how easy it is to stay in the land of victimhood. That’s why she helps new step and co parents get past projections and be unbothered so they can have peace with themselves – regardless of whatever wild roller coaster someone else is on.

Although you’ll probably never become BFFs with your partner’s ex, it is possible to create a relationship with them that is built on boundaries and respect.

http://www.blogtalkradio/asksharifah I’m Naja Hall, Founder of Blended & Black.  I was born and raised in Memphis, TN but I’ve called New York City home since 2007.  I earned my Bachelors Degree in Family & Consumer Sciences from The University of Tennessee. I am a Family Life Coach.  I’m also an active member of the AAFCS and the American Bar Association as a Dispute Resolution Associate. My Husband is a Father of 3. But when we began to experience the hardships of parental alienation, unsuccessful attempts at justice in family court and trying to deal with an uncooperative co-parent, I knew we needed support. Aside from a few friends, I rarely let on about the stress of a high-conflict co-parenting situation. We all want to project perfect lives, when in fact, many of ours is far from it. In 2016, when I officially became a Bonus Mom, I was compelled to create a space for people like me. My journey to achieving peace was a long one and I am determined to make sure that others have a strong support system and a blueprint to make their transitions less tumultuous.

Are blended family conflicts unavoidable? Naja Hall joins Laterras to offer hope in the storm. After detailing how she fell in love fast with a divorced dad of three, Naja unpacks the mental health impacts and anxiety triggering events stemming from high conflict with her husband's ex. From boundary setting tips to a revelatory distinction between child-centered marriages and divorces, Naja provides vulnerable testimony and hard-won wisdom so others might walk an easier path. Ultimately Naja issues a gentle challenge—can we break cycles of generational trauma and instead choose generational healing? The possibility of blossoming in the ashes exists, but we must commit to do the work.[00:00 - 07:37] - The challenges and importance of amicable co-parenting[07:37 - 15:22] - How Naja and her husband met [15:22 - 20:18] - Early relationship challenges around blended family dynamics[20:18 - 34:00] - An incident revealing the severity of conflicts[34:00 - 37:09] - Coping with anxiety from conflict [37:09 - 41:23] - Establishing personal boundaries [41:23 - 50:31] - Perspectives on causes of conflict[50:31 - 01:03:29] - Tips for mitigating blended family conflicts [01:03:29 - 01:10:20] - Final Thoughts & Wrap UpKey Quote:"I've seen 0% of child centered marriages work.
