Blended Family Breakthrough

203. How to Make Better Decisions and Solve Problems as a United Team

64 min • 4 februari 2025

 In this episode, we’re delving into a common challenge for blended family couples: decision-making and problem-solving. Whether managing kids’ expectations, negotiating with an ex, or facing the pain of being a “trapped teammate” or “stranded stranger,” disagreement and differing perspectives can create tension and keep you stuck.

We’ve been there ourselves, and we share relatable stories, including a meltdown at the mall over a swimsuit and how it almost derailed our unity. Plus, we unpack practical strategies that have been game-changers for us and the couples we coach. 

We believe every blended couple needs a strategy for decision-making and problem-solving that helps them stay united and avoid confusion, pain, and disconnection.  Grab a coffee, sit back, and let’s tackle this together.

You'll Discover

  • How to avoid falling into the "trapped teammate" or "stranded stranger" dynamic.
  • Three key “DON’TS” that will safeguard your relationship from unnecessary conflict.
  • A powerful brainstorming hack to make decisions and solve problems as a united team.
  • How to manage decision-making pressures from kids and ex-spouses.
  • Practical tips to stay connected and strengthen teamwork in tough moments.
