Women’s author, speaker and mentor Kristie Carpenter, aka The Blended Family Mom, has been a blended family/step mom since 2004. Her blended family currently includes four children and four grandchildren. Her books The Blended Family Mom and Blended Mom Moments are both available on her website at theblendedfamilymom.com

In this episode, Kristie and I discussed her journey from wife to widow to stepmother/stepgrandmother in under a decade and the many lessons she has learned along the way. 

"Your mindset going into marriage will make or break it."

"Be consistent every day."

"In your blended family, your priority is your spouse."

"As a stepparent, you have to keep trying different things."
