Ep 22 All in the Family; a conversation with blended family coach Amy Stone

When we think of “family,” a specific image usually comes to mind. Something reinforced on TV since the 50s, an ideal man and a picturesque woman with two wholesome children. It’s neat and tidy, but a tidy family is not real. We can do everything “right,” but the idea of “family” was never meant to fit neatly into a box. Today’s guest reminds us that, no matter what our family looks like, we’re doing ok.

Amy Stone is a family coach who specializes in quieting the chaos that can come with a blended family. In today’s episode, we will discuss her work, the different forms a family can take, and how to balance it all.

Topics covered:

• How can your partner’s ex be your greatest childcare ally?

• Why divorce doesn’t need to be terrible

• Observing holidays across multiple families and events

• The impact of language and emotional connotations on our familial relationships
