Catching up, Traditional Values, Control Issues, and Morning Sex

Welcome to <a href="https://blendedshook.com/">Blended & SHOOK</a>, the podcast centered around blended families of all kinds. We met online and our relationship progressed quite quickly, (thank you, Covid catalyst). Our family consists of the couple in their mid-30s, a daughter from <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/allthingstestosteronepodcast/">Brandon's</a> previous marriage, and 3 bi-racial children from Kayla's previous marriage. The fact remains, we are not professionals in any capacity; just a happily married couple hoping to foster a support system for families in similar walks of life by opening up a dialogue regarding love, spirituality, parenting, marriage, sexuality, struggles, and anything else we encounter along the way recruiting the help and advice of other couples, specialists, counselors, mentors, and even our very own 4 kids. THIS could get interesting! Today we're digging into… <ul type="disc"> <li>Handling toilet seat issues</li> <li>Not buying things</li> <li>Seeking idols</li> <li>Our new homegroup</li> <li>Our rough few months</li> <ul type="circle"> <li>RV totaled</li> <li>House drama</li> <li>Moving</li> <li>Cheerleading</li> <li>Kids</li> </ul> </ul> Thanks for listening!

Being a Husband  Father

On this episode we unpack some <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@matthiasjbarker?lang=en">@matthiasjbarker</a> tiktok videos about the importance of being direct with your partner & children, why we need to be picking fights, & how you may actually be coming across to others when trying to sugar-coat your requests. Brandon opens up about the exact moment he realized he was a condescending prick and how that realization has changed the way he speaks to others. When the couple shifts gears to talk about the transition from survival mode to thrive mode Kayla is confronted about her frugal ways, such as methodically measuring out tin foil and saving every unused centimeter for later use.
