Food and Stepfamilies: Episode 2

July 13, 2020

How do you practically nourish and care for your blended family? We buy them clothes, put a stable roof over their heads, and prepare food.

When I was still single, a friend once told me that parenting was much harder than marriage. "You actually have to SUSTAIN them," she said. We feed them, and keep them alive, but do we realize all the messages we are sending as we do so?

In this episode I explore food as a powerful relationship-building tool, as well as how to use food and meal times to bring your family together as you respect boundaries, build memories, impart values, and celebrate preferences.
