Episode 232: Creating Connection in Blended Families With the Sister Connection
Feb 09, 2026
Blended families don’t usually struggle because people don’t care.
They struggle because love feels complicated, loyalty feels divided, and everyone is carrying history into the room.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why is this so hard?” this episode will help you feel less alone.
Today I sit down with three women who know this life personally. Amanda, Dondra, and Ruth share what it really looks like to build connection in blended families when emotions are messy, timelines don’t match, and expectations clash.
It isn’t about doing things perfectly. It’s about staying when it would be easier to pull away. Learning how to show up with patience when progress feels slow. And creating a home where love grows over time, not overnight.
