The final stop on The Blend Roadmap...."D" Don't Rush the Process! If you are confused about The Blend Roadmap, go back and listen to episode 1 or download your own copy of the roadmap by going to www.thecocoblend.com In this episode you meet my guest, Tiffany Stevens. Tiffany and I talk about how in the process of blending their family, she had to continuously make adjustments. Adjustments to how she reacted, adjustments to how she showed up as a parent and even an adjustment in her language from calling her husband's children "step," to "bonus." Overall she learned that blending is a journey that takes time and PATIENCE.
