Today we have a real treat. Our guest is Amy Stone, a therapist who specializes in working with adults in blended families. And there’s no bigger blended family than mine.

We talked for so long that I’m breaking our conversation into two episodes. In this first part, we discuss the different roles that members of blended families play, the challenges of disciplining children who aren’t your own, and how to make sure everyone’s needs are met when it comes to food and mealtime.

You can learn more about Amy and the services that she provides on her website at amysaysso.com.

As always, thank you to Jim Cirillo of jimiumgroup.com for our original music and to Rachel Greenberger for our original art.
