Hello February! Swipe through to see details of our happenings this month and……We are excited to share OUR NEWEST SUPPORT GROUP: BLENDED and BRILLIANT. This new offering is space to connect, share, and be supported in the unique role of step-parenting/raising children within blended family dynamics.

Blended & Brilliant is facilitated by Kathleen Reed (). Kathleen was born into a blended family of origin, and her experience in this space was further broadened when she met her now husband, who had two young children from a prior relationship.

Today she is stepmom to a 15 year old stepdaughter & 12 year old stepson, and mama to a 2 year old son that she gave birth to in 2019.

Kathleen brings to the group a passion for learning, an appreciation for depth of personal connections, and a sense of purpose in her desire to open up the dialogue and normalize the emotions & feelings experienced within the constructs of blended family dynamics. Questions welcomed, just send us a dm!
