Recent Podcasts

I have two podcasts published on the Stay Happily Married web site, related specifically to Step Families

11/15/10, episode 133   "No matter how many “Happy Holidays” wishes you receive, the season can be just as stressful as it is enjoyable, and that stress can be even greater if you’re part of a blended family. Does shuffling the kids from one home to another feel too disruptive? Does it seem impossible to meet everyone’s vision of that perfect Christmas morning?

09/07/10, episode 124   "If you’re a part of a blended family, you know how complicated things can be, especially when you’re starting out. Are you having trouble relating to your new stepchildren? Do you just not feel as much like a family as you expected? Barbara Keyworth joins us to discuss the things that can cause tension in a newly blended family, and shares tips for making the transition a smooth one."

"It's Not Just About Food":

Eating or not eating in reaction to stress creates health and weight problems and doesn't solve the emotional, behavioral and relationship problems underlying your eating patterns.

• Do you eat out of boredom? Or tension?
• When you are not hungry?
• Do you frequently go on diets to lose weight, then regain the weight?
• Feel self-concious about your body?
• Find yourself constantly thinking about food and weight?
• Skip meals and under eat because you are afraid you will gain weight?
• Do you sometimes eat compulsively (especially junk foods), then later berate yourself?
