Mother’s Day is right around the corner coming up on May 11th!
Ahead of this day honoring mothers and families, I thought it might be a timely topic to discuss a wrestling match that none of us ever wanted to have, that of blending a family.
It’s one none of us ever wanted because it means that, for whatever reason, our first marriage has ended and with divorce rates around 50% it means that half of us could be in a position to consider blending a family at some point in the future. We also know that divorce isn’t the only reason some marriages end. There are many people who have lost a spouse to death.
That was the case for my guest Chad Brignac. Chad has over thirty years of experience in the construction industry and is a founding partner of the John Maxwell Team. He specializes in leadership and strategic consulting.
Influenced by his blended family journey, Chad is an advocate for compassionate leadership, intentional personal growth and development, and accountability structures. He and his wife, Jdele, have coauthored a book titled “Blend Don’t Break” which offers a forensic look backward at some of the pitfalls they encountered as they tried to build a blended family.
This episode features rare vulnerability by a man committed to helping others who may be wrestling with blending a family.
