11. Navigating Blended Families with Joel Hawbaker
Divorce is one thing. But navigating a blended family dynamic with step siblings and new step parents can be extremely challenging. Joel Hawbaker is no stranger to this. As a child of divorce himself, and then finding himself divorced with two kids in his twenties, Joel had many struggles and ups and downs. He learned the hard way that your ex spouse doesn’t naturally do everything you want them to do. So he had to find ways to create a successful environment of co parenting for his two daughters, and making his ex wife an ally not an enemy.
Today, Joel is a blended family coach, an award-winning teacher, author, speaker, and frequent podcast guest who loves helping blended/stepfamilies overcome obstacles and grow by teaching them the 10 Commandments of Blended Family Life. These are universal principles that families can apply immediately to begin seeing positive changes.
