S3E5: Navigating Relationship Dynamics in Midlife
Are relationships meant to be effortlessly smooth? Join us as we challenge this common misconception with our special guests, Amy Stone and Hannah Blackburn. Amy, a transformational life coach for step-parents and blended families, shares her journey of blending optimism and naivete in forming a new family. Hannah, a transformational somatic coach, brings her expertise on helping individuals regulate their nervous systems and overcome internal barriers to achieve their goals. Together, we explore the significant impact one person can have on altering relational patterns, even when facing resistance.
OUR GUESTS:
Amy Stone is the founder and creator of Stepparent Success School and Imperfect Adulting. Amy understands that being a grown up can sometimes be tougher than expected. It can be a little scary to ask for support when it comes to questions about our families. In her own experience “adulting” she sometimes struggled to find the education, support and community she was looking for from traditional experts. Eventually she came to a realization that became a pillar of her businesses...sometimes the people who give the best advice are not professionals like doctors and lawyers but rather those who have shared in a similar experience who are willing to mentor other adults by sharing.
Amy began by creating specialized resources for stepparents. A lot of people fall into the category of identifying as stepparents but unfortunately there is shockingly little support for stepparents. Today she also offers a group subscription connection community called Imperfect Adulting.

Hannah Blackburn is a Transformational Somatic Coach, specializing in embodiment and nervous system regulation. She helps ambitious people find their true purpose in life by shifting fears and doubt, so they can more easily step into the most authentic and magnetic version of themselves and live the life they have always dreamed of.
