Blended, Not Shaken
Blended, Not Shaken is a podcast about what it really means to be part of a blended or chosen family—messy, beautiful, funny, complicated, and everything in between.
Through honest, vulnerable conversations, guests from all walks of blended life—stepkids, stepparents, single parents, co-parents, siblings, widowed spouses, chosen families, and more—share their personal stories. No two families look the same, and that’s exactly the point.
We’re not here to give advice or pretend it’s easy. We’re here to listen, to laugh, to relate, and to reflect on the roles we play in each other’s lives. Some stories will make you laugh. Others might hit a nerve. All of them remind us that there’s no one way to do family—and that you’re not alone in figuring it out.
Blended, Not Shaken is for anyone navigating the in-between spaces of family life, looking for connection, perspective, or just a deep sigh of “same.”
