Are you diving head-first into the world of blended families? Join us as we untangle the complexities of this journey with our incredible guest, Cameron Normand, founder of This Custom Life and The Stepmom Diaries Podcast. From sharing her personal narrative of becoming a stepmom to four children to navigating the often intimidating realm of finances in a blended family, Cameron's experiences and insights are nothing short of enlightening. As a stepmom, she draws upon her journey to help us understand the often unspoken realities of stepfamilies - a crucial conversation, especially considering that 40% of American families are in some form of a stepfamily.Cameron's candid discussion about her own experiences of being a stepmom serves as a guiding light for those navigating similar waters. Our chat delves into the intricacies of building relationships within the family, communicating effectively, setting financial boundaries, and more. Most importantly, we explore the need to be easy on ourselves, challenging the idea that one needs to love stepchildren in the exact same way as biological ones.I hope you enjoy our conversation!
