On this episode of MercyTalk, we discuss how to navigate blended families with the Executive Director of Mercy Canada, Nicola Bartel. A blended family is a family where at least one parent has children that are not biologically or adoptive related to the other spouse. Either parent, or both, may have children from previous relationships or marriages. As someone who is part of a blended family herself, Nicola shares invaluable wisdom and insight on how to navigate blended family dynamics in a healthy way.
