    Blended Families: Embracing Fatherhood
    Mar 17 2025
    Welcome to Life Happens, the podcast where we talk about the heartfelt, challenging, and sometimes messy parts of life. Stepfathers enter families with their history and traditions but still show up ready to care, guide, and love—even when things get tough. We’ll share real stories about how stepdads form bonds, define their roles, and handle the mix of family emotions and expectations. But what if conflict arises and the mother doesn’t set clear boundaries? How does a stepfather balance empathy, authority, and respect in these challenging moments? Whether you’re a stepfather, part of a blended family, or simply curious, join us for insight, laughter, and maybe even a few tears.

Let’s find out if it’s really just a harmless gesture—or if there’s something deeper going on.
