Nobody Told Us

Camie and Magali

Marriage and parenthood are both incredibly rewarding but also incredibly difficult. What happens when it doesn’t work out? When you take the path that’s been set up as what you’re “supposed to” and it doesn’t end up as a fairytale, or even sustainable? Nobody told you about that possibility? Us either. We’re here to shed some light on the undiscussed business that is life after divorce. We will be discussing and dissecting the ins and outs of blending families with our combined: 5 marriages, 12 children and 80+ years of life experience. If you find yourself: marking divorced as your marital status, navigating the world of dating as a parent, attempting to build a relationship or trying to figure out step-parenting roles with your partner’s children, confused or even ashamed about feelings that show up for you in any of these spaces; this is the podcast for you. read less
