My wife would play the courses aloud so I couldn’t help but hear them. I tell you what, I’ve never heard anyone in my life make more sense about why stepfamilies struggle so much. I started looking forward to hearing the courses. One day, it t clicked with me and my wife why we were struggling so much! We hadn’t grieved our “nuclear dreams” as Lori calls them. With guidance from Lori & Dave, we grieved those nuclear dreams and set realistic blended family dreams, which are none. Lori always says, you need to let go of those blended family expectations, they are only causing you disappointment. We can’t recommend the Academy enough! It really is life changing!” ~ B.C.
