Halloween is a perfect time to talk about disguises! People put on masks on a daily basis to cover up who they really are, or what they struggle with emotionally. Living authentically is the only way to overcome this. How can we help others who haven’t figured this out?

Spirituality is not a topic often discussed here at the blended family podcast, but it is becoming a popular practice. Learn how spirituality can help you and your blended family grow. Also learn how to determine if someone you love is an empath or a highly sensitive person, and what that means. We also talk about vibration, and how to elevate it.

We all have exes, and many of us are dealing with exes who are difficult and uncooperative. Since there is not much we can do to change who they are or what they act like, we can only focus on ourselves. There are things we can do to make these interactions more pleasant.

 

  • Work on better communication
  • Treat your relationship with the ex as a business transaction
  • Seek help from your ex's family members or friends
  • Respond without reacting
  • Don't fight back
  • Don't seek revenge
  • Don't use the kids as messengers
  • Don't try to change your ex
  • Find support for yourself
  • Stay consistent
