What this show is about
Stay in the solution.
Know your responsibilities
What is yours to carry, and what is not.
Check your motives
Before you engage with your ex, your kids or your new family, ask yourself why.
Heal what is yours
So you do not make things worse for the people you love.
Why now
The modern blended family is everywhere. The forms, the calendars and the culture have not caught up.
Two households, stepparents, half siblings, new partners, grandparents who are still family. This show is for the people living it.
Episodes
Welcome to At the Podium: Living Well in a Blended Family
Attorney Tara J. Galbo opens At the Podium with three ways to get ahead of the holidays in a blended family: talk early, lead with forgiveness, and make room for a blended holiday. Plus why she started the show.
In this episode
Get ahead of the holidays
Talk about Thanksgiving and Christmas now, not the week of. Email your co-parent early so there is no headache, stress or drama for your kids, or for you.
Lead with forgiveness
Check your motive at the door. Be the one who says, “for my kids, I'm going to forgive and move forward.” It is not easy, but it is essential.
Make room for a blended holiday
When both parents can share a dinner, a birthday or a graduation, the kids see what forgiveness looks like. Maybe nobody wants to sit at the first dinner. By the third, it feels healthy.
