EP 33 Destiny Walker Stops By To Talk About Her New Book ‘Blended Up’

Tim Watson — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 14:03:31 +0000

Destiny’s story is so inspiring and is laced with a love you can feel while hearing her share her story.

It’s all to common for Stepmoms to go ‘all in’ only to have circumstances out of their control dictate outcomes no one saw coming.

In her book ‘Blended Up’ she finds a way to express the love her Step Sons share with her. It’s a beautiful work and a story I believe will resonate with many listeners.

Tim talks with Musician & Stepdad Mark Taylor about missing school events, feeling neglected, what worked for him and what didn’t.

Tim talks with Musician & Stepdad Mark Taylor about missing school events, feeling neglected, what worked for him and what didn’t. Often times Stepparents are made to ‘sit on the sidelines’ when it comes to special events such as school plays. Especially when the school only issues two tickets, one for mom and one for dad. An engaged and loving co-parenting dynamic is really where these types of situations come to a head. What do you do as a Stepparent when you find yourself in this situation? Afterall YOU were the one taking them to practice everyday so Bio mom and dad could have front row seats to the play..right? Whew tough position for all involved!
