Wholehearted Podcast

This week, we're navigating the tricky terrain of step-parenting. Becoming a parent is one of the biggest and most challenging transitions any adult can go through. Becoming a step-parent presents us with the same kind of challenges, plus many others that are completely new. In this episode, we cover ten tips we've found helpful in our experience as step-parents and we discuss real-world examples of how our step-parenting endeavors have both failed and succeeded.

Ep. 7: Ten Steps for Step-parenting (and Staying Sane)

In Episode Six, Josh and Kelly give listeners an update on their recent "brain break" vacation to Mexico (and how they dealt with childcare/custody matters while they travelled abroad.) Next, they dive into the complex topic of temporary custody orders, where Josh shares the details regarding his personal experiences with temporary custody orders and how he handled things when those orders were broken. Then, both Josh and Kelly break down the court's legalese, exploring terms like "pendente lite" and "ex parte," as well as "motions," "contempt," and "modifications."
