What to Expect This Episode:


In this two-part episode, Kierstyn Franklin welcomes her husband, T.J Franklin, on the show to fill in for Tiffany while she’s on vacation and to answer listener questions about their relationship and blending their family.


For the Hollywood Hot-take, they kick it off, weighing in on Jada Pinkett Smith and her “oversharing” of marital separation and turmoil in her marriage to Will Smith.


Kierstyn & T.J. then answer follower questions from Instagram, from how they met, what their blended family looks like, how it’s been parallel/co-parenting, how they support each other's continued healing and more.


This is a fun, vulnerable, and insightful podcast into a real-life blended family, and you won’t want to miss it.


 

Listener Favorite Moments:


0:00-0:50 - Coparenting is life sentence…people think they’ll be able to parent well together after the marriage, but often times the other person is trying to counter-parent


1:55-3:05 - People have idea of what it will look like, and are heartbroken if they can’t do that. K talking about heartbreak with two youngest when Luke leaves, etc.


13:48-15:52 - Manipulative behavior, story about coparent blocking other parent on the child’s phone


17:13-18:28 - Parallel parenting…how it can backfire and harm the kids


21:51-23:01 - Protect yourself. Stick to the custody agreement, choose what’s best for your child and you, even if you think you will get along with your ex just fine post marriage
