Hey friends, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. I'm so glad you're here. Today, I'm talking about what makes a Second Marriage Work After Divorce. The Hard Work Behind My Happy Ending. After I released episode #180, our 20th anniversary special, I heard from so many of you. You thanked me for being vulnerable and opening up about the journey my husband and I have been on. If you haven't listened to it yet, go check it out! You asked powerful questions—about rebuilding trust, parenting in a blended family, navigating differences, and choosing love after heartbreak. And to be honest… I almost didn't share it. It's easy to share the highlight reel. The anniversary photos. The blessings. But I knew that wasn't the full story. I also knew I wouldn't be doing you any favors if I skipped over the real parts. Because truthfully, what we have today is the result of deep personal work, trial and error, hard conversations, learning to accept and forgive each other, and keep trying…grace upon grace. If you're new here, I'm Jenn Zingmark, your LDS life and divorce coach, here to help you navigate the challenges of divorce with faith, grace, and resilience. • Join my exclusive Life Coaching and Divorce Mentoring Program, Faith Filled Divorce, HERE: httpshttps:https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/program-details • Get your FREE Podcast Atlas at: https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/joy-in-the-journey-podcast • Make sure you are part of the Find the Joy With Jenn Fam!

Zach sits down with his mother Joe and his stepfather Otis to explore their journey from painful pasts to a peaceful present. Joe and Otis reflect on their “practice marriages,” the controlling dynamics they each endured, and the moment they realized they wanted something different. They share how a foundation of friendship, autonomy, and mutual respect became the bedrock of their 25-year relationship. From non-dating to dancing, from beach trips with girlfriends to golf trips alone, Joe and Otis have built a partnership that celebrates individuality and shared joy. You'll hear about Otis's journey of temper management, Joe's reclaiming of personal agency, and the subtle, intentional kindness that keeps their love strong, despite physical pain, aging bodies, and the trials of real life. Key Takeaways There's life after divorce—and it might be the better lifeBoth Joe and Otis came from long, controlling marriages. Their second partnership, formed later in life, is more respectful, equal, and full of joy. Friendship is the foundationTheir relationship began as school colleagues and friends, then grew over time into something deeper, supported by laughter, shared values, and trust. Kindness is the cornerstoneOtis says the best description of their marriage is that they've “learned to be very kind to one another.” The five-minute anger rule worksOtis, who struggled with rage in his youth, now uses a strategy where he's allowed to be mad for five minutes, then lets it go. Joe even sets a timer. Agency mattersJoe talks about finally being able to “be herself” in this marriage, without fear, control, or pressure. Otis's calm, non-controlling nature allows her space to thrive. Caregiving is mutual and meaningfulAs they age, they care for each other with intention and grace. Joe says she always knew Otis would take care of her, and she's glad to do the same. Guest Info JoeZach's mom. OtisZach's stepdad and former high school gym teacher. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textIn this episode, Becky discusses ways to prioritize your marriage. This is a critical foundation and the first in a series of episodes on creating unity in parenting in a blended family.

Did you know that most people will have two marriages in their lifetime? Would you believe us if you could have two marriages to the same person? Join us today as we explore the unconscious (first) and conscious (second) marriage. What seems like a crisis and end to a marriage may actually be a great opportunity for both partners. Your original contract may no longer be working and this is a chance to create a new one as who you are now. People evolve and change over time and the marital relationship can be updated. What once worked in our 20s will most likely not align in our 70s. In the sexual cycle, changing hormones and bodies challenge us to learn new ways to make love. In a healthy relationship, this second marriage is an essential step to growth and partners often find it more fulfilling. George and Laurie walk listeners through an excellent role play on how this conversation would go and how to engage your partner in this work. Keep it hot y'all all through the years!

In this episode of the Senior Matters Podcast, estate planning attorney Mark E. Wight dives into the complex and emotionally charged world of blended families and estate planning. Using real-life stories and decades of experience, Mark walks listeners through familiar challenges that arise when remarried couples have children from previous relationships—what he calls the "Yours, Mine, and Ours" scenario. He discusses how the lack of proper estate planning can unintentionally create financial and emotional rifts between stepfamilies, especially when a family business or separate assets are involved. Mark also offers practical solutions—like using wills, trusts, and life insurance—to protect loved ones and preserve family harmony. Whether you're in a blended family yourself or advising aging parents, this episode is packed with must-know guidance on navigating the sensitive intersection of love, legacy, and legal planning.

Getting engaged later in life is an exciting time, but it requires different financial planning conversations. With blended families, different retirement timelines, and evolving goals, couples in this situation face unique challenges. Jake and Nick break down how your relationship with money changes as retirement nears and why your financial plan should evolve right alongside it. Here's what we discuss in this episode:

Laurie Stone is author of six books, most recently "Streaming Now, Postcards from the Thing that is Happening," longlisted for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award. She writes the Substack "Everything is Personal.”When I read Laurie's Stone Substack article about her decision to marry her long-term partner Richard at 78, following a brief two-week engagement, I knew I had to contact her. It was subsequently covered in the ‘Vows' section in the New York Times. Laurie and I have many mutual friends, mostly other writers and creative types, which led me to suspect her choice to marry was likely more thoughtful and less conventional than the typical “we've been together so long, we might as well.”Just three weeks earlier, at a friend's Christmas party, I had encountered another writer in her fifties, someone I had met a few times, who had recently announced her engagement to her partner of five years. (I'm sensing a micro-trend here). She expressed surprise at the mixed reactions from friends, ranging from “Well, I guess someone has to” to “Congratulations, how wonderful.”I might have asked her if her decision was based purely on romance, to which she appeared taken aback and said “Yes, of course.” I explained that after my most recent partner passed away, I became acutely aware of my lack of agency, particularly in not being able to communicate directly with his doctors or stay informed about his declining health. It had left me feeling frustrated and angry.This experience highlighted for me the emotional difficulties of being partnered but not married in the traditional sense, helping me understand some of the complexities involved and why deciding to marry when you're no longer in your 20s or 30s, is not always a romantic one. I have to admit I'm cynical about romance, having not had the best track record when it comes to long-term relationships and my own decade-long marriage was not filled with joy, and so I am curious as to why anyone would consciously choose to ‘tie-the-knot' when my age. But I'm also a great believer in the old cliche, ‘To each, to his own,' and have several friends who have been happily married for decades, so clearly it does work for some people, only not for me! In any case, I'm not going to spoil some of the many interesting observations about love and marriage that Laurie shared with me during this discussion but only to say I hope you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did.Laurie is hosting her next workshop on taking risks in your writing to which you are invited to attend if you become one of her paid subscribers. It's taking place on 25th January 3 - 4 pm EST.

If you listened to my podcast episode this past June, Fear is a Liar, you heard me talk about a couple in our church whose testimony made me decide to keep going with this podcast. When I was ready to shut it all down their story made me want to keep going so that others will have a place to share their own amazing God stories so together, we can help others to keep building strong. You wouldn't think a breast cancer diagnosis would lead a couple into a marriage that was more joyful than they could have ever imagined, but that's what happened with Glen and Kelly Daigle. They had both been married before they met and were ready for a fresh start, having each gone through difficulties with drugs and alcohol. Glen had recently finished a self-admitted time in rehab for alcohol addiction and Kelly was looking for a man who'd been married, didn't have children and loved the Lord. Since Glen met all three requirements they dated and eventually married. But everything wasn't all rainbows and hearts. Glen spiraled into such a deep depression Kelly says many days she prayed she wouldn't come home to find that her husband had committed suicide. After Glen found help from counseling their lives were okay, but still not great. Neither of them had a strong relationship with God, they just did the bare minimum. Until Kelly's breast cancer diagnosis. Something changed in both of them as they realized the only thing they had to hold on to was Jesus, and they weren't letting Him go. There are so many ways that God showed up in each of their journeys that there's no denying the Hound of Heaven was pursuing them from the very beginning. If you feel like you've messed up so badly that there's no promise of hope in your life anymore, this episode is for you.

Taking Catherine's financial background and Karen's law background, they developed Divorce Solutions, and they are here to help you feel empowered as you navigate the financial ins and outs of divorce.Co-founding a fintech company that would revolutionize the divorce sector was not what either of us set out in life intending to do, but our experience, skills and life events turned out to leave us perfectly placed to set up this business together.Catherine was a financial planner who went through a painful divorce and vowed to help women understand their marital estate so they did not get taken advantage of at such a vulnerable time in their lives. As part of this bigger purpose, she took on further training to become a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.She quickly realized that the problems with the divorce industry were much bigger than just financial awareness. In fact, she started to understand that there were systemic issues throughout the entire divorce process.Catherine had the expertise to tackle the financial element of the problem, but she needed someone who had experience with the legal process of divorce who would share her perspective and join her mission. Fortunately, around this time, a colleague introduced her to Karen, knowing that Karen also had a passion for helping empower women through her nonprofit. Catherine also learned that Karen had extensive professional experience as a paralegal and law firm business manager – and, like Catherine, she'd been through a divorce herself, and her experiences had convinced her that the system needed reform. With aligned incentives and joint commitment, Divorce U Solutions and My Divorce Solution was born in January 2016. Join Catherine, Karen, and Jess at the Power of Me Conference! https://goodthingsaregonnacome.com/power-of-me-2023/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mydivorcesolution?igsh=MXhjM2hjcGIyYWQ0aw%3D%3D&utm_source=qrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mydivorcesolutionYouTube:https://youtube.com/@wechatdivorcebymydivorceso3552?si=qBx4WHtobF0LKH4kWebsite: https://mydivorcesolution.com/ Join our Community! https://community.mydivorcesolution.com/landing?space_id=6831212Want to feel less alone in your journey as a stepmom today?!

In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you'll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me.Show Notes 0:00 - Welcoming Paul Zolman to What I Meant to Say0:19 - Becoming a Love Language Linguist from An Angry Household9:35 - How to Play Paul's Love Language Game16:26 - What Have You Learned from First to Second Marriage?19:59 - Practical Ways You Relate to Your Kids & Grandkids23:44 - Are There Ways to Protect Yourself from Being Taken Advantage Of?27:46 - Best Ways to Have a Generational Healing Conversation with Kids33:48 - The Purpose of the Love Language Game40:06 - Advice for Men to Be Love in the World42:43 - One Piece of Advice to Your Younger Self46:27 - Where Can People Find You?47:14 - Thank You & ClosingLinks & Where to Find Paul www.roleoflove.comYoutubeFB - https://www.facebook.com/roleoflovediceIG - https://www.instagram.com/roleoflovedice/Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/roleoflovedice/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@roleoflovediceTwitter/X - https://twitter.com/roleoflovedicePinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/roleoflovedice/The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts

When Bri started to notice her clothing and shoes were stretched out, she thought her mom must be sneaking into her closet. When she went to confront her mom, the unexpected happened.Bri did all the things right. And then she went even harder to guarantee she was doing enough to have the perfect life she had been promised. She figured if putting “one dollar of effort” into the vending machine would get her the perfect husband, family, and life, then putting $100 would leave nothing to chance. She didn't want there to be any “skeletons in the closet.” But then God laughed because he had His own plans for her. Just like you can't pray the gay away, you can't “buy” the perfect life.Is it your time for healing? It is time to release the emotional heaviness and claim what is ahead for you. I have got you boo.

This is a special episode where the roles are reversed! Jill is being interviewed by the amazing hosts of Liberated Podcast. Sandy and Michelle say… “In this episode, we chat with the amazing Jill Herman, our dear friend and host of the Top 100 Podcast BE YOU. She is also a Certified Trauma Informed Coach, successful entrepreneur and all round Goddess on the path of life. Jill is authentically herself, knows her truth and always shares her story with vulnerability. She gets real about what it took to blend kids with her husband TK and how their intention was the key to them thriving. She does not shy away from talking about the hard parts of bringing two families together and her honesty is so refreshing. From attachments, alcoholism, business success, finding yourself and unapologetically following your heart... you guys are in for a treat with this conversation!”   Show Notes: [2:05] - Jill's spiritual awakening began at a retreat hosted by Sandy and Michelle. The experience literally changed her life's trajectory. [5:23] - Before her experience, Jill was always trying to follow the rules and always be a “good girl.” [9:54] - Our wounding drives the bus more than we know. [11:54] - To the outside world, Jill looked extremely healthy and successful. She got shit done until she couldn't anymore. [16:32] - When she married her husband, she realized they parented the way they ran their businesses. [18:34] - Jill shares her backstory - her first marriage at a young age and what she didn't notice. [22:28] - She was given a lot of signs and she ignored them all, staying with her husband struggling with addiction for many years. [28:28] - Jill tends to make big decisions and doesn't waste any time in executing them. When she decided she would separate from her husband, it happened fast. [34:01] - Blending a family needs intention and communication. [37:31] - Jill shares the differences between the kids in the blended family. [39:17] - Surrender is especially important in a blended family. [40:59] - One of the things they didn't do was put their blended family in a bubble. They let other people affect them. [45:10] - Sticking strictly to traditions is a way to stay in control. [53:57] - Because of the intentionality, communication, and surrender, this blended family is in such a great place even after all the shit thrown at them. [60:10] - Jill truly stepped out of her cage and continues to live outside of it, even though it is so easy to get back in. [62:37] - Although they have both done a ton of work on themselves, time and space was crucial. [65:13] - Jill talks about the relationships between her children and stepchildren. She also shares the experience of having a surprise grandchild that glues them together. [67:39] - Even though the “hatch was shut,” Jill and TK used the word “divorce” as a threat. [72:17] - Boundaries will only work for so long without doing the work on yourself. [75:44] - Never look outward at another person and look at the work they still need to do. Only look at the work you need to do. [77:23] - If you learn to love all the parts of you, you will learn to love all the parts of your spouse and kids.   I know there was something in this episode that you were meant to hear. Let me know what that is. Thank you for being here today with me on our healing journeys.

Hear us screw up parenting (specifically co-parenting) in real-time... But for reals, we let the child do the communicating, we let a text influence a decision before talking about it, and we really screwed the pooch on this one.  Let this be your reminder that mistakes will be made. It is important to show grace for yourself and others when those mistakes are made.
